The Boys returns for an explosive second season on September 4, where fans will see as Vought’s superheroes wreck even more havoc on the country than before. The Amazon show is introducing Aya Cash as Stormfront, who acts as a foil to Homelander (Antony Starr) and his worst nightmare.

Cash and Starr spoke to Screen Rant about their agenda and the journeys they take in the series, especially Homelander’s tense relationship with his son Ryan.

Antony, it seems that after the events of the season finale, Homelander is now totally untethered as he sees himself bigger than the corporation, among other things. How will the sense of megalomania kind of grow through the season?

Antony Starr: Yeah, I mean, Homelander has always wanted more right from episode 2 of season one, when he asked Stillwell that he wanted more responsibility within the show. And I think that was blocked by her, so she had to go and now there’s no roadblock. There’s no mommy; there’s no roadblocks. He’s out on his own without the training wheels on. He believes that he should be treated like a God because he believes that he is a God.

That’s the attitude he takes into season two… I can say that that’s the attitude he leaves the season with.

Stormfront is a brand new character that we can see. She joins the Seven and is kind of a refreshing mix to the Seven. How much fun was it to come in and bust their chops? Why is Stormfront on the Seven and what’s your objective there? I know it’s a lot of questions.

Aya Cash: It was super fun to come in. The thing about Stormfront is she’s not afraid of anybody, including Homelander, which I think makes her unique in the world. I think she feels that her powers match him and that she is probably smarter than him and can manipulate him. So, she comes in really messing with his head. That’s always really fun. I did the same thing to Ant when I came in.

You talked about how much fear Homelander instills in people. But despite all of the head-crushing and eyeblasts, Homelander has never seemed more dangerous than when he’s at home with Ryan. Can you talk to me about the menace behind the scenario?

Antony Starr: Well, yeah. It’s a whole new responsibility and a whole new world, trying to be a father, and he doesn’t really know what it’s about. And there’s this uncontrollable, unpredictable little presence that, like I said, is uncontrollable. He doesn’t know how to deal with him. He wasn’t parented so he doesn’t know how to parent, and that means that Ryan has to sort of shape up and be the golden boy or face the wrath of the worst parent on the planet.

It shifts through the through the season. It’s an evolving, growing relationship, and it goes to very interesting places. I’ll tease it with that.

Your character is obviously new, and I don’t want to spoil anything. But out of all the members of the Seven, who does Stormfront trust the most?

Aya Cash: I mean, I don’t think she trusts anyone coming in. She’s only interested in who she can use. She’s not necessarily interested in making friends; she’s interested in who’s going to follow her and who will share her vision.

I do think that she ends up trusting someone. I don’t want to give that away, but I don’t know. It doesn’t go well.

What excited you the most to explore about your character that you get to show fans in season 2?

Antony Starr: To hit this head on, because I think it’s difficult for Aya to answer some of these questions. We’ve already seen Homelander really pushing out into the world and trying to take control, and I think what was really interesting in season two is you see the control taken away. Like any terra firma that he thought he had is gone and swept away from him very early on. And then it’s about him trying to regain some sense of equilibrium and composure. He’s such a f***ed up character that it’s great for us to come on board and tinker around with that. It’s a lot of fun. Season two is a lot of fun.
