Does Frenchie die in 'The Boys' Season 4? Gunrunner's absence in trailer solidifies major fan theory
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Boys' Season 4 is all set to premiere on Prime Video, on Thursday, June 13 and one character has been heavily speculated to meet their death, especially with the show's marketing hinting towards it.
This theory emerged when the teaser trailer for 'The Boys' Season 4 dropped, showcasing the aftermath of Season 3 where the public is torn between supporting Starlight or backing Homelander.
The upcoming storyline holds significant promise for the cast, as the titular group continues its mission against corrupt Supes. With the narrative unfolding and the recent developments in 'Gen V' Season 1, fans are eagerly awaiting Season 4 of 'The Boys', slated for 2024.
However, amid the excitement, some grim theories have arisen from the show's marketing, particularly from two new posters that seem to reinforce the likelihood of a character's death that has long been speculated.
Frenchie's absence from 'The Boys' Season 4 posters raises concerns about his fate
Beloved member Frenchie's absence in marketing for 'The Boys' Season 4, has left us worried about his fate. This concern arose after the release of the Season 4 trailer, which notably lacked Frenchie's presence. Given his significant role in the show over three seasons, this absence sparked anxiety among viewers.
The worry intensified with the unveiling of two Season 4 posters. One prominently features Homelander, while the other showcases the main characters, including Billy Butcher, Starlight, Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Kimiko.
However, Frenchie is notably hidden in both posters. Despite his presence in one, he's pushed to the background, even behind Jeffrey Dean Morgan's newcomer character. This continued sidelining of Frenchie only fuels fears of his fate in Season 4.

How would Frenchie's death impact the team in 'The Boys' Season 4?
Despite the tragedy it would bring, Frenchie's death could serve a narrative purpose in 'The Boys' Season 4. Across the first three seasons, the show has maintained high stakes, yet none of the core characters have been killed off.
Billy, Hughie, MM, Starlight, Kimiko, and Frenchie have all made it through so far, making the possibility of a major character death in Season 4 more likely. Given his role as the group's emotional anchor, Frenchie's potential death would hit hard.
While not the show's primary focus, Frenchie is undeniably integral to 'The Boys'. His death would elevate the show's dramatic tension and potentially drive revenge plots involving characters like Billy and Kimiko.
Although Frenchie's death remains speculative, hints from the show's marketing suggest it could be a reality in Season 4.
