‘The Boys’ Star Valorie Curry Reveals Her Bold Wish for Her Character to D*e in the Final Season

Curry’s Firecracker was introduced in the show’s fourth season.

The Boys star Valorie Curry has one particular hope for her character, Firecracker, in the hit show’s fifth and final season.

While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at San Diego Comic-Con, the actress revealed she doesn’t want her character, who was introduced in season four, to make it out of the show alive.

“I hope she dies. She has it coming from many people. She’s awful. She’s horrible. I hope she dies. I hope it’s not because of the meds, because that seems too easy,” she said. “It should be Sage (Susan Heyward), right? It should be Sage, and then she should survive and have a spinoff. I hope she dies.”

Firecracker is the latest mutant to join Amazon’s superhero satire. She’s politically divisive and has extremist and hateful opinions on everything from vaccines to CIA conspiracies and the LGBTQ community. While Curry has played characters who were nothing like her in the past, few (if any) have had views as directly opposite to her own as Firecracker has.

Curry, who identifies as a lesbian, should’ve been repulsed by her character, but her reaction was the opposite, she previously told THR.

“It sounds so gross to say, but I really connected with her right off the bat,” the actress said. She explained she’s happy to play someone she finds so abhorrent and who’s “so vocally anti-trans and homophobic” because “it should be somebody from the community who’s getting to make a clown out of her. So there isn’t any ambiguity.”

Curry also shared that she’s admired creator Eric Kripke‘s work for years. With The Boys, in particular, she noted it satirizes “so much of what’s happening culturally, whether it’s #MeToo or the Republican Party.”

She admitted there were even some conspiracies her character spewed in the show that she thought were too wild to take seriously. When she asked Kripke about one outlandish line, she said, “He’d tell me, ‘That’s actually a direct quote [from a politician].’”

All episodes of The Boys season four are now streaming on Prime Video.
