Meet "Starlight" (from "The Boys" - featuring Erin Moriarty / Possible #SPOILERS in commentary)
"The face that launched a thousand marketing deals." Featured here today is "Starlight’s Wish" starring actress Erin Moriarty as the fictional "Annie January", in the upcoming Amazon Prime tv series "THE BOYS", with this faux TVC / television commercial themed alongside The Deep's, no doubt as part of VOUGHT's commercial enterprise.
Do note that subsequent commentary MIGHT be SPOILER-ry...
The character is seen clad in her "first" super-hero outfit, which will see a change subsequently - as per the "press" image for "The Seven", and as per her comic book storyline, when she was asked to wear a "sexier" costume, along with an altered "backstory"... "Starlight" is essentially the "light" to the darkness of the depravity of the Seven, and struggles to be accepted and yet do good for the world.
I remembered first reading "The Boys" and the character of Annie/Starlight, I've always wondered who they'd cast to suit the innocent cherubic faced conservative Christian super-heroine, who'd be asked to perform oral sex on The Homelander (when she is first inducted into the "The Seven") and members of the elite superhero group, and whom will fall in love with Hughie ... this is of course the back-story of the comicbook (from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson where this show is adaptated from), and not necessarily what happens to her in the current TV series .... or is it?
THE BOYS premieres 26th July, 2019.
WHO IS STARLIGHT (IN THE COMICBOOKS): "Real name Annie January; her displayed powers are flight and the ability to project blinding light. Other powers hinted include super-hearing. The newest member of the Seven, having formerly been a member of the Young Americans superhero organization, and a conservative Christian. On joining, she is shocked to discover the true nature of the other members of the Seven: on her first visit, the Homelander gives her the choice of providing him, A-Train and Black Noir with oral sex, or leaving the group. Her costume is modified against her will to be more revealing, and she has often been tricked into humiliating situations. It was claimed by A-Train in issue 20 that the Seven hired her solely to amuse themselves by degrading her; Jack from Jupiter expects her to be replaced by a bigger name hero within a year. During the "Cherry" story arc, she meets Hughie in New York on a bench in Central Park. Under her Annie identity she begins a relationship with Hughie, neither knowing the other's true identity."
