The Boys continues to be one of the edgiest series in the comic book genre, and fans were met with the image of an open anus from out of nowhere. What’s funnier is that, even actress Claudia Doumit had no idea that she was going to be looking at it as well.
Here’s the isolated clip:
Showrunner Eric Kripke says Claudia Doumit’s reaction to reading the message in #TheBoys S4 was real

Apparently, a lot of people have been asking whose butthole everyone got a glimpse of, and showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that it’s not Butcher’s ass (nor is it Karl Urban’s). Here’s the post:
Because hundreds of you asked: the butthole from #TheBoys Season 4, Ep 1 is NOT Butcher's (or Karl's). We hired a model (I don't know his name). I chose the pic, based on about 20 different butthole shots. Yep, Hollywood is a glamorous dream factory. @TheBoysTV pic.twitter.com/VGY2NNAPkp

While Kripke didn’t confirm whose the photo belongs to in-universe, fans can be assured that Butcher as a character doesn’t just go around sending people pictures of his spread-open butthole. At best it was just something he picked out online; but it would be funny if he asked Frenchie for a photo and he just enthusiastically agreed.
For now, The Boys Season 4 is starting strong with the first three episodes, and everyone is back on the Vought hype train. With some new heroes (or rather villains) in The Seven and Butcher having a personal stake with the fate of Ryan, we should expect another bloody yet surprisingly emotional season for the ragtag group of superhero killers and the biggest superhero group in their universe.
Also, I wouldn’t say there would be another surprise butthole pic in store, but it’s best to be prepared that could happen again.
Catch The Boys Season 4 now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
