Billy Butcher Star Karl Urban Shares Emotional Goodbye Post As The Boys Season 5 Filming Wraps
Image
As filming wraps on The Boys, Karl Urban has said his goodbyes to the rest of The Boys' cast. Having first premiered in 2019, the show is a popular Prime Video superhero satire which pokes fun at the media, politics, and the very concept of superheroes. Urban played the bitter anti-supe activist Billy Butcher through all five seasons.

The final season is expected to premiere in 2026, though the official date has not been confirmed. Throughout the show's run, Urban appeared alongside Antony Starr (Homelander), Jack Quaid (Hughie), Erin Moriarty (Starlight), Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko), Cameron Crovetti (Ryan), and other stars. Now, as filming wraps, Urban shared his farewell on his personal Instagram account:

Supernatural vet Jensen Ackles has opened up about his long-awaited reunion with Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins in The Boys Season 5. In the hit superhero show, Ackles portrays the fan-favorite role of Soldier Boy, who has been one of the main antagonists in recent seasons.

During a recent interview with People, Ackles was asked about his experience working with Padalecki and Collins again during the production of The Boys Season 5. While teasing their guest-starring appearances, he admitted that it was strange for him to see them on the set of The Boys.

“It was weird. It was like inviting my friends over to somebody else’s house for dinner,” he said. “I was like, ‘Listen, guys, don’t make me look bad. I got to stay here.’ They were amazing. I can't wait to talk more about it because it was quite an experience.”

The Boys Officially Wraps Filming As Showrunner Eric Kripke Shares Set Photo From Fifth & Final Season

Filming has officially wrapped on the fifth and final season of Prime Video's The Boys, with showrunner Eric Kripke taking to social media to share the news along with a photo from the Vought Tower set.

The shot finds Kripke standing in The Seven's Action Room, with a mural of Homelander with his arms outstretched visible above the table.

“This is the last time I'll ever be on this set," writes Kripke. "It'll be torn down soon. It's bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude. We have the best cast, the best crew, the most fun story to write, and something that is impossible to predict: the right timing. You wait your whole career to have maybe two of those things, if you're lucky. We got all of them. To #TheBoys family: thank you, I love you all. To the fans: thanks for watching, can't wait for you to see the grand finale.

Women’s Work: On Mikio Naruse
Image
Repast.Mikio Naruse was radical in his dedication to the mundane. Whether employing the devices of melodrama or abandoning plot almost entirely, he maintained a lucid, unsparing focus on the everyday routines and pressures, compromises and disappointments that quietly erode his characters, the way drops of water wear down a stone. Naruse made films about women’s bruising emotional lives, but above all about women’s work: the thankless domestic chores of wives, the constrained roles of geisha and bar hostesses, and the various labors of maids, shopkeepers, bus conductors, office workers, farmers, and even artists.Naruse’s genre was shoshimin eiga, “common-people dramas” about the pinched and precarious world of the lower-middle classes. His characters tend to live in cramped houses with scuffed tatami mats and battered shoji screens. Among the pleasures of films such as Mother and Lightning (both 1952) are the weathered texture and raffish shitamachi atmosphere of working-class neighborhoods with their narrow,...

Mm Is the Only Character in The Boys Who Doesn’t Need V to Feel Like a Threat
Image
If there is one thing that The Boys knows how to get right, it is iconic characters. Across its four seasons, the show has created some of the most memorable moments in the superhero genre. While most of these situations consist of characters that have superpowers, the majority of the fight sequences gain weight because the titular team does not have superpowers.

While the lack of powers is what made the series appealing during its initial seasons, both Hughie and Butcher eventually also get powers, even if it was for a brief amount of time. Even Frenchie has his substance abuse, and Kimiko’s powers as a leg up in fights. With this, there is no denying that Mother’s Milk is the only character who knows how to beat Supes without powers.

Gen V: Marie Moreau Joins The Resistance Against Homelander On First Season 2 Poster
Image
It looks like we might get a first look at some footage from the second season of Gen V this Saturday at Ccxp Mexico, as Prime Video has released the first official key art spotlighting Jaz Sinclair as blood-manipulating Supe, Marie Moreau.

In the season 1 finale, Marie and some of her classmates were rounded up by Homelander and his forces, and we saw the same thing happen to Hughie, Frenchie, Mm and Kimiko in the season 4 finale of The Boys. It seems interned Supes are going to form some kind of resistance to fight back against the leader of The Seven (best of luck).

Last year, we got the tragic news that 27-year-old Gen V star Chance Perdomo had passed away after a motorcycle accident. Perdomo had been a major part of The Boys spin-off series, and his character, Andre Anderson, was going to feature heavily in the second season.

The Boys Season 5 Poster Revealed; Showrunner Eric Kripke Teases "A Lot Of Deaths"

The first key art for the fifth and final season of The Boys has been spotted at the Prime Experience event, and it features Homelander glancing back at the camera as he walks towards the White House.

In the season 4 finale, the leader of The Seven took one step closer to the Oval Office while enacting his plan to round up all anti-Supe protestors and confine them to prison camps. Hughie, Frenchie, Kimiko, and Mm were captured, with Starlight and the now even more volatile and unpredictable Butcher still at large.

“There will probably be lots of deaths," creator Eric Kripke says of the final season during an interview with Deadline. “There’s no guarantee of who’s gonna survive.” Nathan Mitchell (Black Noir) adds: “There are some things that are coming in Season 5 that you’re not going to have in your bingo card.”

Only Eagle-eyed Fans Could Spot Game of Thrones Season 7’s Clever Foreshadowing of the Night King’s Ultimate Fate
Image
Game of Thrones is known for hiding important details in plain sight, and one such moment occurs in Season 7. Fans on Reddit were quick to spot a subtle scene that hints at the ultimate fate of the Night King. In the scene, Bran Stark gives Arya a dagger, a gesture that might seem ordinary at first.

However, this small exchange becomes crucial when Arya uses that very dagger for a major purpose in Season 8. This moment is a prime example of the show’s skillful foreshadowing, where seemingly insignificant interactions pay off in major ways later on.

We Have The Boys to Thank For One of the McU's Best Tropes
Image
As it turns out, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans actually have Garth Ennis's The Boys to thank for introducing a story beat before the MCU transformed it into a celebrated cliché. While Ennis's comic is best known for subverting and satirizing existing superhero tropes, in the case of characters getting their arms cut off, The Boys was ahead of the curve.

In The Boys #63 – written by Garth Ennis, with art by Russel Braun – the character Frenchie's arm is severed during a fight. Originally published in 2012, the issue preceded Iron Man 3, which began the trend of MCU characters losing their arms.

Interestingly, The Boys' version was inexplicably similar to the style that would later become a hallmark of the MCU’s use of the trope. That is, the lost arm sequence came as an unexpected twist during an especially intense fight scene.

Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2: Chozen's Conflict Between The Sekai Taikai & Hopes For Kumiko Reunion Addressed By Star

Cobra Kai's Chozen actor Yuji Okumoto addresses his character's split loyalties in the upcoming season 6, part 2. First appearing in the franchise as the principal antagonist of The Karate Kid: Part II, Chozen became an ally in Cobra Kai, joining Miyagi-Do's battle against Kreese and the Cobra Kai dojo. In season 6 part 1, the grizzled Miyagi-Do trainer seemingly vanished after hearing a conversation between Daniel and Amanda about spending more time with loved ones, but he could complete his arc in part 2.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant's Grant Hermanns, Okumoto discusses the upcoming episodes, and how Chozen's story may factor into them. Given his character was absent in the final two episodes of Cobra Kai season 6 part 1, his story is due to continue, and maybe even conclude, in part 2. Okumoto talks about the split loyalties Chozen has, bound by his duty to Miyagi-Do, but consumed by the need to reunite with Kimiko.

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble Review – Waxing On About The Game’s Strengths and Weaknesses

Masterful moves and memorable villains await in The Karate Kid: Street Rumble. Developed by Odaclick Game Studio, this retro-styled adventure invites players to relive the magic of Daniel Larusso’s journey through the classic All Valley Tournament storyline and beyond. Packing a dozen intricate stages inspired by the blockbuster films, it’s a nostalgia-filled trip down memory lane for fans of the underdog franchise.

Though the developers lack experience with beat ’em up titles, their passion for the source material shines through. Street Rumble adapts the movies’ most iconic scenes into a side-scrolling scrap, casting players as Daniel, Mr. Miyagi, Ali, or Kumiko to perfect their craft against a rogue’s gallery of familiar foes.

From Johnny Lawrence’s early bullying to Chozen’s ruthless revenge plot, the saga unfurls with recognizable flare. While its graphic novel cutscenes lack the films’ polish, the gameplay more than makes up for it with endearing pixel art.

The Boys Season 5's Concerning Tease Makes Me Think We'll Get The Comic Ending After All

A new tease surrounding The Boys season 5's story developments has almost convinced me that the show's conclusion will share similarities with the original comic's ending. Although The Boys is based on a comic book series of the same name, it takes several creative liberties to enhance the narrative from the source material and make it more suitable for television. The more the show has progressed with each season, the more it has drifted away from the original comic books.

Owing to the show's deviation from its source material, I was starting to believe it would never end the same way as the comics. However, The Boys season 4's ending arc made me realize again that the show's closing arc could share parallels with the source.

Henry Cavill might have moved on from DC after James Gunn’s arrival, but we cannot help but reminisce about his time as Superman every now and then. While the actor was perfect as The Last Son of Krypton, you could say that his casting went to waste as the studio was unable to utilize him as it should have. Henry Cavill was always passionate about Superman, but unfortunately, things were a bit underwhelming, especially when compared to other actors and their characters’ stories.

Antony Starr’s performance in The Boys has put Homelander on the same level as other iconic villains in Hollywood, such as Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter, and Norman Bates. However, co-stars of Antony Starr have repeatedly pointed out how unlike his on-screen character the Outrageous Fortune alum is.

However, Starr had opened up about one of his more negative aspects, one that landed him in some trouble with the law while he was in Spain. In 2022, the actor was given a 12-month suspended sentence and ordered to pay $5500 as a fine, as reported by the Spanish outlet, Información.

“It’s just another reason why I love this job”: The Boys Season 4 Never Came Close to One Unhinged S3 Scene That Needed Eric Kripke to Sanction Building “an 11-foot high, 20-foot long p*nis head”

Erik Kripe’s The Boys received divisive reviews in its fourth and penultimate season. Despite having its signature gory sequences, with more Homelander shenanigans and exploding farm animals, the fourth season was largely considered to be a downgrade from its predecessors.

While the season had plenty of unhinged sequences, one scene from season 3 has to take the cake in terms of the show’s boldness. The episode in question sees the superhero Termite going inside the urethra of a lover and pleasuring him from the inside. The crew reportedly had to build an 11-foot p*nis set to film the sequence.

One thing that sets The Boys apart from other superhero shows is the writers’ commitment to go in the most bizarre directions. While blood and gore...

The Boys: All The Powers Ranked By Strength & Usefulness
Image
The Boys offers a unique take on superheroes, exploring consequences of super-powered beings in society. Characters like Hughie and Kimiko showcase a diverse range of powers and abilities within the show. The series features a variety of memorable supes, with unique strengths and weaknesses depicted throughout the seasons.

The Boys is based on a long-running comic series, but Prime Video's adaptation is an intriguing idea that takes a slightly more measured approach to the deconstruction of the superhero genre, and this shows in The Boys powers. The show wrestles with questions like "What are the consequences of having super-powered superheroes in society with the everyday person?" and "What happens when superheroes aren't all decent people and become more concerned about their celebrity status than the people they are supposed to protect?"

Viewers get an exploration of this when Hughie, an everyday human, watches his girlfriend torn apart as A-Train...

Butcher Deliberately Foreshadowed The Boys' Ending In a Moment That Hughie Totally Missed
Image
Butcher's genocidal turn at the end of The Boys was foreshadowed as far back as issue #30, where he equated supes with cancer, and mused that it was often hard for a surgeon to know "when to stop cutting." Butcher's shocking reveal of his true intentions led to the death of his friends and teammates, except for Hughie who prevented him from taking action that would have cost millions of innocent lives. Butcher's conversation with Hughie in issue #30 hinted at the fact that he was already planning to take his war against supes to the extreme, providing a subtle foreshadowing of his later plan.

One of the most shocking moments in The Boys was the big reveal that Butcher was the final antagonist but surprisingly, the comic forshadowed this gutwrenching twist years before it actually happened. Butcher's genocidal turn was difficult for readers to confront, but as it turns out,...

The Boys season 5 is happening: Here's everything we know so far about the final season
Image
To quote Billy Butcher, season 4 of The Boys was diabolical. It was nothing like the comic books, and that’s more than okay. Most of the story wouldn’t work in TV show form. Thankfully, showrunner Eric Kripke and the creative team recognized this and made the appropriate changes.

If you’re a fan of the show, the upcoming final season is bittersweet. Unlike Supernatural, it’s doubtful The Boys goes on past season 5. Except for Butcher and Homelander’s fight, all the stories have been told. Plus, there are spinoffs like Gen V, The Boys: Mexico, and possibly more. Deadline reports that Kripke, “hopes to be involved in the expansion of the world, but not as a showrunner.”

The spinoffs aren’t the only things to look forward to. Let's look at what else we know about season 5 of The Boys.

5 things we learned from The Boys season 4 finale
Image
"Wild" is the perfect word to describe what we all witnessed in the latest season of The Boys. In all fairness, that's pretty much how you could describe every episode of the Amazon Prime Video show, but the season 4 finale especially. Despite IGN giving The Boys' final episode of season 4 a 6/10—an above-average score, barely—they could flip that six upside down and give it a nine. It was nothing short of epic and disturbing, leaving us both thrilled and unnerved.

There was a time it seemed that The Boys relied on shock factor, from the disturbing scene in "Life Among the Septics" that made The Human Centipede look tame. And who can forget the nauseating experience Huey had with Tek Knight and Ashley in "Dirty Business" that left him traumatized? Poor Huey. The plot was a bit slow-moving, and one could argue some personal plots, like those of Kimiko,...

Homelander's Death In The Boys Season 5 Should Mirror Major Game Of Thrones Moment, Suggests Star
Image
Karen Fukuhara, who portrays Kimiko in The Boys, wants an Arya Stark moment as a way to kill Homelander in season 5. Since season 1, the titular team has been trying to eliminate Homelander. Despite her powers, Kimiko may struggle to defeat Homelander due to his strength.

The Boys star Karen Fukuhara explains why Homelander's death should parallel a memorable moment from Game of Thrones. Billy Butcher and the Boys have been trying to find a way to defeat Homelander since season 1, and the stakes will be higher than ever in the final season now that Homelander controls the United States government. The question still remains of how the powerful Homelander can be killed, and which character can complete the seemingly impossible feat.

“Everyone hated that Arya Stark moment”: Karen Fukuhara aka Kimiko Wants to Recreate the Game of Thrones Magic in The Boys Final Season and Fans Don’t Understand Why

In 2019, the final season of Game of Thrones aired, bringing with it a lot of booing and criticism from fans about the characters’ storylines. The series was a ratings champ for a long time, but it took a nosedive in season eight because of decisions that many thought were poorly made and executed.

Still from The Boys (Prime Video)

As a result, the whole audiovisual industry learned a big lesson about what to do and what not to do when wrapping up a story. While there are exceptions, it’s crucial not to go too far. The Boys might be heading down a similar path as Got if the cast’s opinions are taken seriously, and fans aren’t happy about it.
