The Boys Season 2: 10 Major New Details You Need To Know
2. There Will Be Some Brand New Team-Ups
While Hughie has, thus far, been most closely associated with Starlight, Urban hinted at Comic-Con@Home that Billy Butcher will also end up teaming up with that member of The Seven. As Erin Moriarty points out, Annie is "forced to adapt to this dark world that she’s been exposed to."
"That’s where some really interesting storylines come in, like collaborating with characters and doing team-ups that you would never anticipate, and exploring dynamics between her and Hughie, for example, who’s broken her heart," she added. "And then she’s got Butcher, who shot her in the chest."
"Yet she’s gotta kind of join forces with him," Moriarty continued. "Her objective remains the same, but she hardens a lot as a result of Season 1." That alone sounds unique, but there could be some tension in The Boys which threatens to tear the team apart, specifically involving Billy and Hughie.
"There’s one moment early on where — spoilers — Butcher comes back and Hughie’s not excited about it, and he gives Hughie the old classic ‘Kenan and Kel,’ ‘we’re gonna do this thing, it’s gonna be great, you’ll love it,'" Jack Quiad said, impersonating Urban. "After that, Hughie says, ‘No, I never love it.'"
