However, if he’s recruited by Homelander, then he could turnThe Boysseason 5 into a bloodbath.

Among his discoveries is Soldier Boy’s location, with the post-credits scene focusing on Homelander finding his father.

MM hates Soldier Boy in a way that reflects Butcher’s loathing for Homelander.

All of this makes Soldier Boy’s possible return inThe Boysseason 5 all the more important.
