Unexpected Crossover Alert: Buffy Star Eyes Joining The Boys' Superpowered Squad

An actor from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charisma Carpenter, has shown interest in joining The Boys. The popular Prime Video show's fourth installment is delayed due to the ongoing writers strike for fair wages. However, there have been hints about what to expect in the upcoming episodes. The Boys season 4 will introduce several new actors, including well-known names like Jeffrey Dean Morgan from Supernatural and The Walking Dead. Additionally, Rosemarie DeWitt has been cast as Hughie's mom. Charisma Carpenter, known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy and its spinoff Angel, recently posed with some members of The Boys cast at an event and humorously expressed her desire to be a part of the superhero satire show.

Carpenter showcased a photo with the cast members from The Boys, featuring performers from both the antagonistic and virtuous camps, such as Karen Fukuhara, who exquisitely portrays Kimiko, and the talented Jessie T. Usher, embodying the character of A-Train. Her tweet expressed a deep sense of belonging and admiration for the show, stating, "I feel like I fit in. Is it just me?! Freaking love this show."

Charisma Carpenter Would Be Great On The Boys

Cordelia's journey in the Buffyverse is a unique and satisfying one. Initially, she wasn't the primary focus, but her character gradually developed into one of the most important figures in Angel's world. What made her transformation so captivating was her sharp wit and the way she evolved into a dependable individual, always willing to do what was right. Despite her initial antagonistic role in Buffy season 1, Carpenter's portrayal allowed Cordelia to grow into a true hero. When the writing for her reached its peak, she could stand alongside the main protagonists without compromising her snarky charm.

Her abilities seamlessly lend themselves to the world of The Boys. It's possible that Carpenter portrays a superhuman character who was once a potential member of The Seven. She might feel excluded and reluctantly agrees to team up with Hughie and Butcher, although her trustworthiness remains uncertain. Additionally, she could develop a connection with Starlight, who increasingly experiences a sense of isolation.

If Carpenter is cast, The Boys could explore numerous storylines. Her talent for delivering clever dialogue and portraying intricate characters would make her a seamless addition to the popular Prime Video series, known for its complex and unpredictable characters. This role is a perfect fit for Carpenter, who previously transformed a supporting character into a beloved and multifaceted hero.
