The recently released trailer for the next episode of Prime Video’s The Boys has confirmed what fans have long anticipated: Homelander and Soldier Boy are finally trading blows. The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 trailer, released on Monday, gives viewers a first look at the chaos that awaits.
The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 trailer previews what happens next
The trailer shows Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy swinging fists again, but this time his targets include both Homelander and the Boys. Soldier Boy punches both Bombsight and Homelander in the trailer, operating without allegiance to either side. Antony Starr’s Homelander, consumed by his hunt for immortality, now faces an opponent who knows his weaknesses firsthand.
While the brawl commands attention, The Boys Season 5 Episode 6 trailer threads in quieter moments that carry equal weight. Chace Crawford’s The Deep appears covered in what looks like oil, spiralling through an existential crisis. Mason Dye also steps in as Bombsight, the World War II-era Supe who served as a combat pilot in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Bombsight ties directly into Homelander’s obsession with V1, the original Compound V formula that, in the latter’s mind, will elevate him beyond mortality. The upcoming prequel series Vought Rising will also spotlight the character.
Bombsight’s introduction accelerates Homelander’s pursuit of immortality, a storyline that has dominated the final season. With only three episodes remaining and the antagonist edging closer to becoming unstoppable, The Boys Season 5 has diverged from its comic book source material, leaving fans guessing how it will end.
As the synopsis suggests: “In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a ‘Freedom Camp’. Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found.”
The Boys Season 5 Episode 6, written by executive producer David Reed, releases Wednesday, May 7, on Prime Video.
