But the real scoop came from creator and mastermindEric Kripke, who teased that Season 5 is set to pull some serious strings. Expect major deaths that will not only shock, but feel utterly deserved. He said,

Anyone who dies will richly deserve it. I’ll just say that. We have a cerain sense of like who lives and who dies, but we dont have it all totally figured out. But you get to make the final season of a show, you need to go out on your own terms, not everyone’s making it through!

Fans Speculate How Antony Starr’s Homelander Finally Will Go Down!

Since Kripke’s comments dropped, fans have been anything but calm! Many are convinced that the creator’s hints point to none other than Homelander’s long-awaited demise, something Butcher has been gunning for since Day 1. Now, the fans are passionately debating how this epic showdown might go down. Will it be a dramatic face-off, a slick trap, or something entirely unexpected, in trueThe Boysfashion?

“Homelander is not lasting more than 2 minutes”: Will Smith vs Antony Starr’s Superhero Showdown Will Definitely End in a Violent Fashion

In the comics, Homelander bites the dust at the hands of Black Noir, who’s a clone set up to take him down if he goes rogue. But since the show loves mixing things up, fans are buzzing about how they’ll handle this big moment.

Here is what some of the fans are saying,

A worse fate for Homelander would be to make him human – take his powers away from him.

That would be the ultimate punishment for his character – to spend the rest of his days with nothing extraordinary about him and his deeds laid bare for all to see.

Makes me wonder if Homelander will survive.

My death predictions:

– Homelander– Butcher– Frenchie OR Kimiko– The Deep– Firecracker– A-Train– New Noir– Cate and Sam die in Gen V Season 2– Soldier Boy (Ryan kills him whilst Butcher kills Homelander)– Supes are exterminated– & more I can’t think of

Fans have their theories locked and loaded, now it’s just a matter of waiting to see how close they come to the truth. The wait for the final season is going to be long, as it’s still in the early stages of production.Season 5might take at least two years to wrap up as perVariety, so fans are advised not to expect to see the grand finale until mid-2026. It’s a long road ahead, but it is surely going to be worth the wait!
