The Boys Finale Leaves Soldier Boy's Fate Unclear
24 May
Summary
- The Boys finale focused on main characters, omitting Soldier Boy.
- Vought Rising prequel explores 1950s Supes and Soldier Boy.
- Creator Eric Kripke hints at multiple timelines for the spin-off.
The recently aired series finale of The Boys strategically sidelined the character of Soldier Boy to focus on the main cast. Creator Eric Kripke has confirmed that a new prequel series, Vought Rising, is in development. This spin-off is slated to explore the origins of superheroes in the 1950s and delve into Soldier Boy's complex history.
While Vought Rising is not expected to premiere until after the 2026 television season, Kripke has hinted at the possibility of multiple timelines within the new show. This suggests that the series might address lingering questions about Soldier Boy's status following his cryo-sleep and the aftermath of Homelander's death.
Details about the Vought Rising prequel remain scarce, but the showrunner Paul Grellong is expected to deliver a compelling narrative. The series aims to surprise viewers, potentially expanding the universe established in The Boys, although it is unlikely to feature the same Supernatural references seen in the original show's fifth season.
