The Boys has a long, storied history of surprise cameos and big names popping in for a brief appearance. This aquatic moment from the season four premiere tops the lot, though – and, yes, itisexactly who it sounds like.

As revealed early on inThe Boys season 4, The Deep is harboring a secret. He has kept the octopus he found at last year’s Herogasm ‘meet up’. Ambrosius, as it turns out, is living in a secluded, cordoned-off tank near his bed.
Ambrosius’ voice should sound familiar to those with a keen ear. It’s Tilda Swinton, who has appeared in the Chronicles of Narnia series, has frequently collaborated with Wes Anderson and, of course, has her own superhero-adjacent experience as The Ancient One inDoctor StrangeandAvengers: Endgame.
Tilda Swinton isn’t the only A-list cameo in The Boys season 4. Will Ferrell appears as himself – gunning for an Oscar – in a Vought film alongside A-Train.
Fans of the Prime Video series will be acutely aware that this isn’t the first time Chace Crawford’s seafaring Supe will have been opposite a surprise guest star.
Back in the second season, a bad trip for The Deep led him to hallucinate that his gills were talking. Patton Oswalt provided the voice on that occasion – making the whole experience even wackier.
