The Boys & Captain America “predicted” Trump assassination attempt
Not one but two major superhero properties “predicted” the Donald Trump assassination attempt over the weekend, with The Boys and Captain America: Brave New World featuring eerily similar scenarios.
The former US President was at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening (July 13) when gunshots were fired by a man now identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks.
While Trump escaped without serious harm,the attackleft an audience member dead and two injured, before Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Though normally such significant world events arepredicted by The Simpsons, in this case, it’sThe BoysandCaptain America: Brave New Worldthat appear to have foreshadowed the incident.
As forThe Boys, Season 4of Eric Kripke’ssuperhero seriesmirrors real-life events more than ever before, withHomelanderserving as the show’s version of Trump.
In thelatest episode, The Boys uncover The Seven’s plans to have President-elect Robert Singer assassinated, with a gunman hired to take him out onJanuary 6– the same date MAGA supporters stormed Washington DC’s Capitol building.

Even the finale title, ‘Assassination Run’, alludes to the events of the weekend. No doubt this is just an odd coincidence, but it’s caught the attention of a number of fans, who have also pointed to another scene.
InThe Boys Season 4 Episode 1, Homelander andSister Sageorder the rest of The Seven to show their loyalty by killing Todd and a number of other Supe supporters.
A-Train is then made to dump their bodies in the crowd of a Homelander vs Starlighter rally, with the news reporting that the latter group left “three innocent patriots dead.”

Sharing a clip of the scene on X/Twitter, onewrote, “This Trump sh*t is wild… Reminds me of this episode of The Boys though.” Anothersaid, “All this recent Trump news seems like it’s copying a recently aired episode of The Boys.”
Another highlighted the fact that Homelander took a hit to the ear in Season 3,writing, “At the end of the third season of The Boys, Homelander is hit by a blow to the ear that causes bleeding, while Trump is shown with blood next to his ear.”
But there’s a more direct parallel to the Trump assassination attempt in theCaptain America: Brave New World trailer.
In the teaser, which dropped just one day before the Trump rally, a crowd member shoots at Harrison Ford’s newly elected President Ross.
It’s no surprise this has caught the attention ofMarvelfans, with onewritingon X/Twitter, “In the trailer that released yesterday for the new Captain America movie the President played by Harrison Ford is shot by an assassin that is being mind controlled.
“Kind of a weird coincidence considering what happened to Donald Trump today.”
Anothersaid, “Did anyone watch the new Captain America Brave New World trailer? It shows an assassination attempt on the president and Captain America tells the president ‘your circle has been compromised’. Then all this happens with Trump, what a coincidence.”
While these examples are clearly coincidental, it’s left some spectators arguing that they’repredictive programming– a conspiracy theory claiming that the government, the Illuminati, or the elites are using mass media as a method of mind control.
This is done by sending out hidden messages to brainwash viewers and make us more accepting of planned events in the future.
Assaidby one X/Twitter user, “No one has ever gotten the idea to shoot a president (or presidential candidate) before, until The Boys and Captain America 4… predictive programming much?”
Captain America: Brave New World drops in cinemas on June 08, 2025, while The Boys Season 4 finale arrives on June 19, 2025. In the meantime, check out ourtheories for The Boys Season 4, themost shocking moments in The Boys Season 4, and otherTV shows streamingthis month.
