The Boys and Call of Duty have quite an intimate history. Throughout Modern Warfare's reboot, the devilish supes have been deployed as Operators through a range of different timed crossovers.

Five of The Boys' most brutal anti-heroes and heroines have landed as Operators, and they have even spawned in their own LTM filled with signature abilities. But now, the crossovers have switched feet, and Call of Duty has cameoed in The Boys' fourth season.

Elliot Knight, who plays Kyle "Gaz" Garrick in the Modern Warafre reboot, has been spotted in the latest season of The Boys.

Knight plays Colin in The Boys Season 4, appearing in at least the first three episodes, and while he doesn't feature as one of the key characters, he appears to be a part of a bigger masterplan for Starlight.

Knight isn't the only familiar face from the CoDverse, as Modern Warfare's beloved Farah is also a mainstay of the series. Her actor, Claudia Doumit, has featured in over 15 episodes of The Boys since 2020 - playing the head-popping Victoria Neuman.

To celebrate Knights's role in both franchises and the release of Season 4, all The Boys crossover bundles have been re-added to the Call of Duty stores.

The first skins to appear in the store are for Firecracker and A-Train, while Starlight, Black Noir, and Homelander will soon follow.

Call of Duty's The Boys crossover has filtered throughout Modern Warfare 2 and 3 but won't be carried over to Black Ops, which, ironically, might have been a better fit for these rogue maniacs.

This is the latest video game crossover with The Boys, as Season 4 also featured its own not-so-subtle homage to Mortal Kombat. It's obviously fictional, but you just know that Homelander would love to play as his own skin in Warzone.
