Ethan Slater's 'Gen V' Character May Appear in 'Vought Rising'
Eric Kripke, the person in charge of The Boys, is thinking about putting Ethan Slater's character from the show Gen V into the new show Vought Rising.
This is because Slater plays a character named Thomas Godolkin, and Vought Rising takes place in the past, which would allow Slater to play a younger version of the character.
Vought Rising will feature other actors reprising roles and new characters.
The Boys is set to finish its series in 2026.
This is a potential plan for future seasons, contingent on the success of Vought Rising.
Eric Kripke discussed including Ethan Slater's 'Gen V' character in 'Vought Rising'.
Slater plays Thomas Godolkin, the founder of 'God U' in 'Gen V'.
'Vought Rising' is set in the 1950s.
Jensen Ackles will reprise his role as Soldier Boy in 'Vought Rising'.
The fifth and final season of 'The Boys' premieres in 2026.
