- The official trailer shows Starlight confronting the Deep inside the White House as Butcher vows that “superheroes are done” in a final push.
- Recent episodes set up a showdown between Butcher’s virus that targets superheroes and Homelander, who boosted his abilities with V1, the first version of Compound V.
