Homelander, played by Antony Starr, is facing an unprecedented challenge in the upcoming season of The Boys. Before that happens, the show’s creators have revealed that Homelander will be even more dangerous than before, driven by a new ambition: to become a god. Last season, his power grew significantly when he gained almost complete control of the U.S. government, making him the most powerful person on Earth, both physically and politically.
The trailer for The Boys Season 5 shows something fans haven’t seen in five seasons and seven years: visible damage to Homelander’s suit. Throughout the Amazon Prime Video series, even during intense and bloody fights, his costume has always remained pristine, only ever showing bloodstains.
With a Planet Vought sign visible nearby, the scene is set at the popular fictional restaurant chain. Homelander is shown relentlessly punching someone who is out of view, hitting with full force.
In The Boys, Homelander’s suit is consistently shown as flawless and pristine. This is intentional, meant to uphold his carefully constructed image as Vought’s public face and a parody of American exceptionalism.
Homelander’s patriotic suit has only ever gotten slightly dirty or bloodied, usually because of his own violent actions.
Viewers are already wondering who will damage Antony Starr’s character’s suit in Season 5. Many believe it could be his son, Ryan Butcher, possibly using his heat vision. He’s a strong contender to be the one who ultimately defeats Homelander in the upcoming season of The Boys.
New episodes of The Boys Season 5 will be released each week on Amazon Prime Video, starting with a two-episode premiere on April 8th. If this schedule holds, the final episode of the series should air on May 20th.
Homelander’s Final Stand Is Almost Here
The show The Boys has several plot threads to resolve, but the most important is likely to be the final defeat of Homelander. While a showdown between Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr) seems inevitable after five seasons of anticipation, it’s uncertain who will ultimately win that fight.
The mark on Homelander’s suit appears to be a burn, possibly caused by Ryan Butcher. Given that Ryan was conceived through a violent attack on his mother, Becca, he has a strong motive to use his own powerful abilities against Vought’s star figure.
The final season of The Boys arrives on Amazon Prime Video April 8th, and it will determine Homelander’s ultimate destiny. While Season 5 will conclude the main story, the world of The Boys isn’t ending there. Several spin-off shows are planned, so some storylines might continue in the future.
