But how great will the cost be? That’s the question that a lot of fans of The Boys are asking as Season 5 approaches. Now, one of the biggest stars of the show is throwing out hints that their character could be one of those hard sacrifices viewers will have to endure.
The Boys Star Hints At Their Characters’ Death In Season 5 (Spoilers?)
Karl Urban is a large part of the reason why The Boys became a breakout hit. As Billy Butcher, Urban’s scene-chewing mania and vulgar one-liners have made him a meme legend. Urban sat down with Screen Rant‘s Joe Deckelmeier at FAN EXPO, and had some questions for him about The Boys Season 5. Urban had one theme he wanted to share with the crowd: the final season of The Boys will deliver painful hits and big stakes, right from the start.
“I think we throw you in the deep end, but in a good way, because the stakes are as high as they can possibly be,” Urban explained. “I think the real thing to look out for in Season 5 on an emotional level, as far as the characters go, and your attachments to characters, there’s going to be some big hits early on in the very first episode. That’s probably what is going to make you realize, ‘Oh, this s–t is for real.’”
To put a finer point on it, Urban went on to tease that “anybody” can die in the final season – presumably, him included. “The stakes couldn’t be higher, and anybody’s fair game.”
Billy Butcher has been on a ticking clock ever since taking the V24 compound to give himself superpowers in Season 3. It was somewhat surprising to see Butcher live through Season 4, so Season 5 would be the appropriate place to bring Butcher’s arc to an end.
