Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 5, episode 1 and 2.A major character returns as Homelander continues to spiral in the new trailer for The Boys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Boys has officially returned with a bang, but not everyone can make it out alive. Prime Video’s satirical take on superheroes has taken the world by storm. Season 5 has already delivered a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating<\/a> of 98%, and fans are clamoring for even more from their favorite and not-so-favorite antiheroes.<\/p>\n

The Boys’ fifth and final season debuted last week with an action-packed two-part premiere that saw original character A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) meet his fate at the hands of Homelander as Hughie, MM, and Frenchie escape from their prison camp with the help of Butcher, Starlight, and Kimiko. Soldier Boy also returned as Butcher put his plan in motion to test out the virus that could potentially kill Homelander, as well as all other Supes.<\/p>\n

Now, Prime Video has released the trailer for season 5’s third episode. Check it out below:<\/p>\n

In the teaser, the origins of V will be revealed, as Giancarlo Esposito’s character, Stan Edgar, returns to help the team find a way to destroy Homelander once and for all. However, Homelander’s speech ending with “a reckoning is coming,” makes it clear that the villain of all villains will not be holding back.<\/p>\n

At the end of episode 2, after Hughie, Frenchie, and MM delivered the supe-killing virus, a shocking twist was shown as Soldier Boy (played by Jensen Ackles) arose despite being seemingly dead. It’s clear the virus is unable to get him due to the type of compound V he has, which makes sense as to why Stan Edgar’s return is vital for the team to figure out how to destroy the major players.<\/p>\n

It has also been revealed that Ackles will be reunited with former Supernatural co-stars, including Jared Padalecki, who will be playing the role of Mister Marathon<\/a>. In the original comics, Mister Marathon was killed by Homelander, so the change from the original comics has yet to be revealed as to why it was made, but the Supernatural reunion has fans already eager to see it play out.<\/p>\n

The Boys season 5 will be available to watch on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
