A creepy new teaser for HBO Max‘s Titans suggests things are about to get very bloody in the upcoming fourth season, set to premiere on Thursday, November 3.
The trailer (watch below) shows a pool of blood surrounded by ritualistic markings as a bloody hand slowly emerges from the pit. While we don’t know for sure, it’s reasonable to assume this is the iconic Titans villain Brother Blood, the new big bad of Season 4, played by The Originals alum Joseph Morgan.
In the original comics, Brother Blood is the leader of a cult named the Church of Blood, which worships Raven’s (Teagan Croft) father, Trigon, who briefly appeared in the first season. The new season will see the Titans heading back on the road after saving Gotham, but after a stop in Metropolis, they’ll find themselves in the crosshairs of this powerful and supernatural cult.
Brother Blood isn’t the only new villain joining the DC superhero series for its fourth season. As previously announced, Lex Luthor (Titus Welliver), Mother Mayhem (Franka Potente), and Jinx (Lisa Ambalavanar) will all make appearances.
Teasers of Lex Luthor and Mother Mayhem in action were revealed at this past weekend’s New York Comic-Con, as well as the new comics-accurate costume for Gar Logan’s Beast Boy.
