The Boys cast wants five seasons and a movie
Come on, Eric Kripke! Dawn Of The Seven is right there.
While The Boys has taken a decidedly less satirical turn toward the rise of fascism and the impending fall of American Democracy in its current season (Ha ha! So fun and funny!), it primarily started as a somewhat lighter critique of Marvel’s excess and greed. And how better to bring the show full circle and parody the bloat of the real Vought Corporation than bloating your own series right at the very end?
That’s Laz Alonso’s (a.k.a. Mother’s Milk) idea, at least. “I’ve been unsuccessfully pitching that we end the show with a feature film to Eric [Kripke],” Alonso said at a recent live taping of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, alongside a few of his fellow cast mates. “Like, make the last episode of season five a cliffhanger and announce the film that we’ve been filming since the beginning of the series, pretty much,” he continued. “But he [Kripke] always somehow gets out of that one.”
At the very least, releasing a full cut of the in-universe feature Dawn Of The Seven could be a fun tie-in to add to the current pile of Boys spinoffs. Whether this is the specific “film we’ve been filming” is unclear, but Alonso clearly has ideas. It would be a “feature film” released in theaters, he clarified, before asking “What do you guys think?” to raucous cheers from the audience.
