But Sage confesses in this finale that this was only the first phase of her plan. So what will phase II be?Sage has survived in this world by playing different games of chess at the same time.

America’s top leaders have been sidelined and Acting President Calhoun declares his allegiance to Homelander, who has become the country’s boss. “Victoria’s disappearance made sense from a historical perspective” continues Doumit. “I think there are so many other elements of this story that need to be told.

But then the reality of seeing his father again, this father who wanted to kill him… It’s such a conflicting moment for him. Personally, I didn’t want to go any further than, “Wow, what does that mean?” However, the actor admits that he does not yet know if Homelander will seek to team up with him in season 4: “What does that mean? I don’t know. I still don’t know. Because I think Homelander doesn’t know himself what he feels.”

The actress confides in the process that this cry of Kimiko, “No“, intervenes at a ““That was such a visceral moment at the end of the season. When she sees Frenchie being taken away and she can’t do anything, she can just scream his name… It’s guttural. She just needed emotional therapy to get through it.” Thanks to Frenchie, she succeeded. Unfortunately, the couple will be separated by fate again in season 5: “They’re a bit like Romeo and Juliet,” he says.takes Tomer Capone. “I can’t wait to read what Eric Kripke is preparing us for season 5. Frenchie and Kimiko will be fine, I think…but life will never be complete without another Herogasm for Frenchie.”
