The Boys’ Valorie Curry discusses Firecracker’s condition: ‘She’s going to fall,’ but ‘this is too simple’

Firecracker isn’t dying any time soon on The Boys — at least as far as her portrayer Valorie Curry is concerned.

The supe was looking rather sickly in the Season 4 finale as a result of the medication she’s been taking to produce breast milk for Homelander, which left her coughing, weak and with heart palpitations. Despite those symptoms, Curry doesn’t believe that Firecracker is on the verge of death just yet.

“I don’t think this is how Firecracker is going to go down. I think she’s going to go down, but I don’t think it’s going to be this. I think this is a little too easy,” Curry tells TVLine’s Keisha Hatchett in the above video from San Diego Comic-Con.

In fact, the real danger may still be ahead for Firecracker after getting a full picture of Homelander’s violent ways.

“Now that she has learned a healthy fear of him and a healthy fear of Vought, I’m really intrigued to see how she pivots,” Curry says. “[She] is a kind of master manipulator and a real survivor, and I want to know how she acts from desperation, from real fear.”

As the Prime Video hit prepares to enter its fifth and final season, Curry is also “really hoping that we explore more of her dynamic with Starlight,” the actress shares.

“That has always felt like it is the really grounding human element for Firecracker,” Curry continues, “understanding where her childhood wounds come from, understanding this, like, desperate desire to kind of overcompensate for those wounds, and how she’s really fixated on Starlight. I think that that story feels unfinished to me.”
