The Boys: Surprising Character Teases Potential Role in Vought Rising Prequel Show

One star of The Boys isn’t ruling out the possibility that they’ll be returning for the new prequel show. While Vought Rising will be set decades before the events of The Boys, star Laz Alonso thinks there might be a role for his Mother’s Milk character in the new series.

The Boys recently concluded its fifth and final season. Prime Video is now working on a prequel series, titled Vought Rising, that is set to premiere in 2027. Coming from showrunner Paul Grellong, the show will see Jensen Ackles, Aya Cash, and Mason Dye reprise their respective roles as Soldier Boy, Storefront, and Bombsight.

What did The Boys’ Laz Alonso say about potentially being in Vought Rising?

Given that Vought Rising will be set in the 1950s, it’d be fair to think that none of the non-immortal characters from The Boys will show up in the new show. Alonso, however, thinks there might be room for his character to pop up in some flashback scenes, given the history that Mother’s Milk and Soldier Boy have with one another.

When asked if he thinks Vought Rising will explore Soldier Boy and Mother’s Milk’s connection, Alonso told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think they should. I anticipate that Vought Rising is gonna have a very, very successful launch and many successful seasons. And at some point, as time progresses — I don’t know what kind of timeframes or time blocks they’ll be building each season — but at some point, I think it would be interesting to see Soldier Boy in Harlem. 

“The connection between Vought Rising and The Boys really is, if you think about it, a direct storyline connecting to a member of The Boys to Soldier Boy. So, it would be interesting to see MM’s mom working in a compound V factory, MM’s dad suing Vought for unsafe work conditions, MM being born with a V addiction, if they decide to show any of that. There was a lot that connected The Boys‘ world to Vought, and that connection was through Soldier Boy and MM.”

A precise premiere date for Vought Rising has not yet been announced. All five seasons of The Boys are available to stream on Prime Video.
