“The Boys” Final Season Skips Big Battles

Despite the upcoming fifth season of “The Boys” set to be the final one, creator and showrunner Eric Kripke says don’t expect any “Avengers: Endgame”-style major battles on screen.

Speaking with Games Radar, Kripke explains they don’t have the budget to do major FX armies on screen: ” I mean, there are not full battle scenes because we still don’t have Game of Thrones’ budget.”

Instead, the plan is to do what the show does best: “There are a lot of very direct confrontations; a lot of the people that you want to see smashing into each other smash into each other. I hope it’s cathartic and emotionally satisfying, but I’m a tiny bit terrified.”

He adds that the start of the season took a lot of inspiration from “the French Resistance and prison camp breaks” as The Boys are scattered with Starlight mounting a desperate resistance while Frenchie, Mother’s Milk, and Hughie have been captured.

In a separate interview with EW, it’s confirmed “Supernatural” stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins will appear in the fifth episode of the new season with the pair playing characters who are “such douchebags… they’re just really not morally upstanding dudes.”

The series won’t mark the end of the franchise though with the already shot prequel series “Vought Rising” still to come and a third season of “Gen V” still a possibility.

The fifth and final season of “The Boys” premieres on April 8th.
