The superhero satire The Boys has already surprised us with some funny cameo appearances. In addition to a strange guest appearance by Charlize Theron, there was also a whole cameo orgy in the legendary Herogasm episode in season 3. Seth Rogen’s role as SirCumsALot779 will of course also remain unforgettable.
Warning, spoilers: It’s almost no surprise that there are some star cameos to be discovered in The Boys Season 4, which has been released weekly on Amazon Prime Video since June 13, 2024. In the three-part premiere, two Hollywood greats are dropping in for guest appearances – and one of them is really well hidden.
The Boys Season 4 surprises with cameos from Will Ferrell and Tilda Swinton
In the second episode, The Boys Season 4 takes a short detour to the filming of A-Train’s (Jessie T. Usher) next hit. The production of the “autobiographical” drama Training A-Train was already initiated in season 3. Alongside the Seven member, Oscar winner Tom Hanks was originally supposed to be seen in a leading role in the fictional film. This role has now been given to another star.

Will Ferrell (Barbie) and Ambrosius surprise in season 4
Since the budget was apparently not enough for Tom Hanks, Vought Studios has found another prominent replacement. Instead, comedy legend Will Ferrell for a brief meta guest appearance on The Boys. Will Ferrell plays a fictional version of himself who plays the role of Coach Brink in A-Train’s film.
However, you will have to look and listen a little more closely for the second star cameo in season 4. Deep’s (Chace Crawford) secret affair with the octopus Ambrosius was revealed for the first time in season 3. The superhero’s eight-armed lover also gets a voice for the first time in the new episodes. The secret guest star can only be heard in the original English version.
None other than Oscar winner Tilda Swinton lends her voice to the female octopus and can be heard several times in the first episodes of season 4. With her soft and seductive voice, Ambrosius, who is banished to a closet, tries to convince Deep that he no longer has to be ashamed of their relationship.
When will episode 4 of The Boys season 4 be on Amazon?
We will find out in the coming weeks whether The Boys will surprise us with more guest appearances in the remaining five episodes of season 4. Currently, a new chapter is released every Thursday on Amazon Prime Video. It continues with Episode 4 on June 20, 2024.
