The Boys is one of the world’s most popular superhero series. This dark take on the superhero genre, adapted from the same-named comic book, quickly gained popularity on Amazon Prime and continues to push the boundaries of what may be shown on television in a number of ways.
The showrunners are currently working on its fifth and final season, which follows four successful seasons and a spin-off series. Everyone has hinted at the show’s fantastic finale, and given where the fourth season left us, we kind of believe them.
In terms of the characters’ fates, Season 4 left us in a state of chaos, and there are countless issues that need to be answered, since almost every character left us with something that needed to be resolved, which is excellent. And, while Ashley has not been one of the main characters, she did have a good character arc in Season 4, and the tumultuous conclusion left us with a lot of questions.
As you might remember from our earlier reports, Ashley’s life changed drastically in Season 4 and the character is now going through a change of sorts, especially in light of what happened in the end, as Ashley becomes the latest non-supe to inject herself with Compound V, the effects of which we have already seen on several other characters.
Of course, the final season will resolve this scene, as we will find out what actually happens to Ashley. But, this moment was so shocking that actress Colbie Minifie was asked about Ashley in a large Variety interview, and while she did not reveal anything fixed, she teased that Ashley’s story will, as you might expect, take a very strange and chaotic turn in the final season of the show:
Ashley shoots herself up with V in the finale after refusing to run away with A-Train, after she realizes she’s in more danger than ever around Homelander. She is instantly in pain but we cut away before we see her fate — what happens next?
COLBY MINIFIE: As we’ve seen, when V first enters your body, the historic visual on the show is that it enters your bloodstream and things start happening in your blood, and it takes over your body. So what we’re hinting at is something’s going to happen! We don’t know if she survives or dies, but I have pitched some things of what her superpower could be — they’re all humiliating. I don’t know what they’re gonna do, or how they’ll see that to fruition. But it will be something crazy.
As you can see, Ashley’s narrative is about to take an exciting turn.
