The fourth season of The Boys is still ongoing, with more intense and NSFW scenes to come before the show goes on break.
Erik Kripke revealed to CinemaBlend that Season 5 will be the series&#8217; final season, culminating in an epic clash between Homelander and Butcher. But if star Laz Alonso had his way, the politically charged tale would conclude in an even greater fashion: a Boys&#8217; film.

It’s not exactly a bonkers concept for a series that itself pokes fun at superhero cinema, most recently with its MCU-esque Phase calendar, though I hadn’t ever really considered The Boys expanding to a medium where it takes more than an Amazon Prime subscription to watch it. Alonso, who has portrayed the often selfless enforcer Mother’s Milk for all four seasons, shared his long-running hopes when appearing alongside other cast members on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. When host Josh Horowitz asked if anyone had final-season requests for showrunner Eric Kripke, Alonso said:
<blockquote>I’ve been unsuccessfully pitching that we end the show with a feature film, to Eric. Like, make the last episode of Season 5 a cliffhanger and announce the film that we’ve been filming since the beginning of the series, pretty much. But he always somehow gets out of that one, and doesn’t…</blockquote>

Nobody else in the cast balked at the idea — so much more polite than their characters — but Antony Starr asked for clarification about the scale that Alonso was talking about, as far as where he wanted the hypothetical movie to release. According to the M.M. actor:
<blockquote>Cinemas! Feature film!</blockquote>
To make this clear right away, I would 100% drop whatever amount of money on a theatrical feature-length release from The Boys. And Laz Alonso was quick to jump on the enthusiasm from the live audience present for the podcast taping, jokingly suggesting that fans hit up Kripke on social media with their feature-specific demands.
But when it comes down to it, I don’t know if I truly think a Boys movie would be a great idea, largely due to the kind of content the show is known for producing. If this creative team tried to add Rob Benedict’s 𝓈ℯ𝓍ualized Human Centipede as Splinter into a movie heading to theaters (or the nude clone fight, or all the hyper-𝓈ℯ𝓍ualized antics in the Tek Knight episode), I can’t imagine it coming away with anything but an NC-17 rating. Which would be a fantastic badge of honor for the franchise to wear proudly, but not the best way for Amazon MGM Studios or Sony TV to make their money back.

Considering several of The Boys&#8216; episodes to date have hit 60-minute runtimes, I have to imagine it wouldn&#8217;t be a huge task for Eric Kripke &amp; Co. to fill 90-120 minutes for a film. And it might be a fun challenge to see how streamlined things could get with such barriers in place, without necessarily having the bandwidth to include a scene where someone&#8217;s bowels are pulled through their nostrils, or whatever the case would be.
While imagining the A-list cameos that Kripke would pull in for a movie finale, don&#8217;t forget to stream the final episodes of The Boys Season 4 when they hit Prime Video on Thursdays, with the big finale set for July 18.
