Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 5, episode 7.The Boys has lost a fan-favorite character.
In an interview with Collider, showrunner Eric Kripke revealed a major character has already had his final scene in the series during episode 7 titled “The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother’s Milk,” where Homelander (played by Antony Starr) places Soldier Boy (played by Jensen Ackles) back in the cryo chamber. According to Kripke, it was “Jensen’s last scene in the series.” When asked about the moment and intentionally working in an Impala reference, Kripke stated:
“Yes, of course. Of course, we did. Knowing that that was going to be Jensen’s last scene in the series, we wanted to put in one last reference. Honestly, Slem wrote and we shot that it was a Ford. It was, “Working on the old Ford.” The danger of having (director) Phil Sgriccia and I, sitting next to each other in editing, which we would do, was that we were watching it and Phil was like, “Should it be ‘Impala’?” And I was like, “Yeah, it probably should be ‘Impala.’” And so, Jensen looped in ‘Impala’ just to do one last nod.”
More to come…
