Has Black Noir been recast and replaced in The Boys Season 4?
No, Black Noir has not been recast or replaced in The Boys Season 4.

In Season 4, a new version of Black Noir emerges, continuing the character’s legacy. This development has left fans wondering whether this new Noir is a clone, a high-tech android, or Vought’s secret weapon. The enigmatic and silent assassin remains a key figure, maintaining his lethal presence and mysterious allure within The Seven.
Who plays Black Noir in The Boys Season 4 Episode 6?
Nathan Mitchell returns as Black Noir in The Boys Season 4 Episode 6, portraying both versions of the character.
Season 4 of The Boys confirms the original Black Noir’s demise. However, in a surprising twist, Nathan Mitchell, who played Black Noir in the first three seasons, remains involved but takes on a new role.
During an interaction with Entertainment Weekly, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke said Mitchell will now take on a new role in the fourth season following the events of season 3 finale. Kripke revealed he broke the news to Mitchell during Season 3, saying, “I think I literally said something like, ‘OK, so I’m gonna say something and your stomach’s gonna drop, but then I’m gonna follow it up with something and you’re gonna see that it’s okay.'”
Kripke explained that the decision to kill off the original Black Noir character in Season 3 was to set up Mitchell’s return with a new character. “It’s definitely not the last we’ve seen of Black Noir as a hero. It’s just that the guy who was inside [the Noir suit] in season 3, he’s gone. But we have Nathan playing a really interesting and hilarious character who wears the suit next season,” Kripke said.
With this, Kripke hinted at Mitchell’s return with a new character. However, the specifics remain shrouded in secrecy, leaving fans to speculate wildly about the nature of Mitchell’s new role.
