Grand Opening of Jack Quaid Archives

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the soft launch of Jack Quaid Archives, your newest source for everything related to actor Jack Quaid! You may know Jack from his roles as Richie Kirsch in Scream or as Hughie Campbell in The Boys, as well as from his voice acting in Star Trek: Lower Decks.

I’ve been working on this site off–and–on for over a year now, and I’m so excited to finally have it launched. And, honestly, what better way to pay tribute to Jack Quaid’s self–proclaimed nerdiness than launching it on May 4? Though the site itself is still small, the gallery is full of photos, and I’ll gradually be adding more and more archival content over the next coming weeks.

‘The Boys’ Season 4 Wraps With Gory Behind-the-Scenes Images

The team is packing up and finally returning home from Canada as series creator Eric Kripke announced that filming has officially wrapped on Season 4 of The Boys. Happily standing with series stars Jack Quaid and Karen Fukuhara, who are both unsurprisingly covered in blood, Kripke shared the wonderful news on his Twitter account. Thanking the team for all their blood, sweat, and tears (literally), his caption revealed that the final day of production was a long one with filming finally wrapping around 2 a.m. “Bloody. But triumphant,” the Supernatural creator and the rest of the team were happy to call it quits for the year.

Beginning back in August, the beautiful minds and faces behind Prime Video’s hit series have been hard at work, chugging along on production for the highly anticipated fourth season. As they’re known to do, the show’s genius marketing team has kept audiences engaged with what’s to come from the series through behind–the–scenes shots and promotional updates. Returning star Simon Pegg, who will be reprising his role as Hughie’s (Quaid) father, shared the news of his filming wrap back in January with Homelander himself, Antony Starr, jumping on the gratitude train – or rather airplane – in a wrap post just last week.

While not much is known surrounding what we can expect from Season 4 of The Boys, the end of the third season gave us a taste of what’s to come. The daddy issues will continue to play out as Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) has moved to the dark side to stand with his biological father and homicidal maniac, Homelander. Politics will again be a main focus of the upcoming installment as the final moments of Season 3 saw the leader of the Seven making moves to further his political career. With Starlight (Erin Moriarty) now on their side, the titular group of Supe–fighting misfits will be stronger than ever but with Butcher’s (Karl Urban) recent cancer diagnosis, they may find themselves crumbling sooner than expected.

Who Will Be in Season 4 of The Boys?

We can expect the familiar faces of the gang to return with Moriarty, Urban, Quaid, Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, and Tomer Capone back in the fight. With Starlight and Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) now gone from the Seven, that only leaves Homelander, The Deep (Chace Crawford), and A–Train (Jessie T. Usher), so the chance that some new Supes will be rising through the ranks is high. We know that there will be at least two new Supes debuting their powers in the upcoming season with Susan Heyward as Sister Sage and Valorie Curry as Firecracker. There’s also the addition of Supernatural and The Walking Dead alum Jeffrey Dean Morgan in an undisclosed role.

As of right now, no release window for Season 4 of The Boys has been announced but stay tuned to Collider for updates. You can check out Kripke’s Twitter post below.

Jack Quaid Debuts as Superman in Animated Series

We never thought we’d see the day! “Wee” Hughie has become a supe.

Jack Quaid, who stars as vigilante supe–slayer Hughie Campbell on Amazon’s R–rated satire The Boys, is now playing the most famous of supes ever, Superman, in an upcoming DC animated series. Quaid’s Man of Steel makes his debut in a teaser that dropped Thursday for My Adventures With Superman, coming to Adult Swim and HBO Max.

The footage, though brief, sees the Kryptonian strongman thwarting a bank heist involving a metahuman and quickly checking on the safety of two bystanders, Lois Lane (Alice Lee) and Jimmy Olsen (Ishmael Sahid).

My Adventures With Superman is going to be a coming–of–age story for Clark Kent, who’s in his 20s forming an investigative reporting team with Lois and Jimmy at The Daily Planet. It’s all about Clark building his secret identity, while exploring his origins and falling in love with Lois, who gets closer and closer to discovering Clark’s true self while becoming a star reporter.

Then cut over to the Prime Video streaming platform, where a live–action Quaid always seems to be covered in the blood of whatever out–of–control superhero he just blew up with an anal pipe–bomb on The Boys. Quaid’s got a healthy balance going on.

My Adventures With Superman also marks the latest voice performance from the actor, who’s also a mainstay on the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks. A premiere date for the DC show has not been announced. It’s just “coming soon” at this stage.

Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) executive produces My Adventures With Superman, and Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus) and Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender) co–executive produce. Josie Campbell (She–Ra and the Princesses of Power) is a co–producer.

‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Renewed for Season 5

Star Trek: Lower Decks has officially been renewed for Season 5 several months ahead of Season 4’s debut on Paramount+. The streamer announced today that the adult animated season would be getting a 10–episode order for its fifth season, along with a summer release window for the long–anticipated Season 4.

Lower Decks is Star Trek‘s most comedic offering with the series hailing from the mind of Emmy Award winner Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites). The series follows the crew of the USS Cerritos, namely a handful of ensigns tasked with the most menial work Starfleet has to offer—but that doesn’t mean they don’t get up to some of the Federation’s most wild adventures. Lower Decks‘ animated format and adult target audience have allowed the series to truly take the franchise where none of its series have gone before. Ensigns Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Tendi (Noël Wells), Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), and Provisional Ensign T’Lyn—a new addition to the group following the Season 3 finale—are set to run into new and classic aliens on their upcoming adventures as they attempt to keep up with their duties.

Lower Decks Is Boldly Going to Strange New Worlds

While we don’t know much about the plot of Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4, it was announced during SDCC that the lower deckers would be making a trip to the Enterprise. During the convention’s Star Trek Universe panel, Newsome and Quaid joined Anson Mount on stage to announce that Season 2 of Strange New Worlds will feature a crossover episode between the two shows. It’s anyone’s guess how the two shows will collide given that they’re set at different points in the Star Trek timeline, but we do know that the episode will feature Newsome, Quaid, and the other lower–deckers playing themselves, as well as animated versions of the Strange New Worlds cast.

Paramount+ Sets Star Trek Release Schedule Through 2024

In addition to the news of Lower Decks‘ renewal and release window, Paramount+ announced that Strange New Worlds has been renewed for Season 3 with Season 2 set to hit the streamer on June 15. Star Trek‘s other animated series, Prodigy, which follows a rag–tag group of alien kids under the watchful eye of a Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) hologram, has set a winter release window for Season 2. And though it was recently announced that Star Trek: Discovery will be ending with Season 5, we still have several episodes to look forward to when the series returns in early 2024.

Meanwhile, Star Trek: Picard is currently airing its incredible third and final season. With only a few weeks left until the series finale, you still have time to catch up on Paramount+, and join the chorus of fans and cast members hopeful for a Star Trek: Legacy spin–off series. While we wait for more Star Trek news you can check out our recent chat with Star Trek legends Gates McFadden and Patrick Stewart down below.

Jack Quaid was Shot in the Face with Blood Cannon on His Second Day Filming ‘The Boys’

In the subversive superhero satire The Boys, Wee Hughie (Jack Quaid) had a messy, violent introduction to the world of Supes. His girlfriend, Robin (Jess Salgueiro), stood a foot off the curb, right in front of him, and then in a second was reduced to blood and guts when the speedster A–Train (Jessie T. Usher) carelessly ran through her. Hughie was left to stand in shock, covered in Robin’s blood.

The Boys is shot in Toronto, so Quaid stopped by the most recent Toronto Comic–Con (attended by /Film’s own Sarah Bea Milner). While there, the actor revealed this scene wasn’t just Hughie’s first appearance. He revealed, “The second day I ever had on set … was Robin passing away. Light way of putting it. It was just such an insane day.”

The second day of a new job is usually when you start to get a true sense of what you’re in for, and Quaid certainly did. In his recounting of the scene, he also gave some insight into how it was filmed. Spoiler alert — there was a blood cannon.

Robin’s death in the pilot is a near recreation of the opening scene of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s original The Boys comic, right down to Hughie realizing in horror that he’s still holding onto Robin’s severed hands.  In a comic, characters can easily change position from panel to panel without the illusion of movement being broken. In film, though, there’s continuous coverage and a reality beyond what the artist draws. That’s why some trickery was needed.

The death begins with a close–up of Hughie with the back of Robin’s head facing the camera. Then she disappears with a zoom effect and the scene cuts to the back of Hughie’s head. It cuts back to Hughie’s face a few seconds later before the camera does a circular, 90–degree pan, revealing the blood splattering on Hughie’s face and Robin’s remains floating mid–air, all in slow–motion. You see bits of blood hitting the right side of Hughie’s face — that’s what the cannon was for. Quaid recalled: 

“There was a slow–motion camera and a blood cannon literally aimed at my face. You don’t see it on the other side, it’s just dudes with like a cannon with wadded–up toilet paper for the gore. And you know, food coloring red dye number five, oatmeal. It just goes right in your face — at a high velocity as well! And then you’ve got to change.”

Despite how disgusting that sounds, Quaid doesn’t regret the shoot: “I think I kind of liked that … that was my second day on set, because it was like, ‘Hey, welcome to the show!'” Indeed, Quaid isn’t the only star on The Boys who’s been doused with a blood cannon; Colby Minifie (Ashley) has as well. On a show as nihilistc, cruel, and heartless as The Boys, getting doused in gore is an occupational hazard.

Scream 6 Ghostface Motives & Identity Dissected By Writers

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Scream 6.

Scream 6’s screenwriters have broken down the motivations of the film’s new Ghostface killers. The film, which takes place in New York City, follows the survivors of Scream 2022 as they make their way to college at Blackmore University. They band together with fellow survivors Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere) to fight back against a new Ghostface, eventually learning that the killers behind this new spree are Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney) and his children Ethan (Jack Champion) and Quinn (Liana Liberato), seeking revenge for the death of third sibling Richie (Jack Quaid) in the previous film.

Entertainment Weekly sat down with writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick to break down the Scream 2 Easter eggs – both intentional and unintentional – in the newly released Scream 6. One thing they discussed was the way that the family revenge motive mirrored Mrs. Loomis’ killing spree in 1997’s Scream 2. Rather than just mimicking that film just because, they found it more “primal and emotion–based” to “[pit] two families against each other” in the third act of the film. Read Busick’s full quote below:

Because the motive of the killers in [2022’s] Scream was about an idea — toxic fans killing people to provide new source material for their favorite franchise which they felt had gone off the rails — we wanted the motive in VI to be primal and emotion–based. When we landed on Richie’s family coming after Sam for revenge for killing Richie, it felt right. Although we’d seen an unhinged parent coming after our hero for revenge in 2, we had never seen a full family of psychos. The movie is ultimately about pitting two families against each other: the Baileys vs. the Carpenters and their found family, the Meeks–Martin twins.
