The cast of "The Boys" has expressed their desire for a blockbuster movie finale akin to "Avengers: Endgame," despite showrunner Eric Kripke's confirmation that season five will be the final installment of the Prime Video series.

During a live taping of the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, actor Laz Alonso (Mother's Milk) revealed he has been pitching the idea of a feature film to wrap up the series. He envisions a cliffhanger ending for season five, leading into the movie that they've secretly been filming alongside the show.

However, Kripke has consistently shut down these suggestions, having always planned for a five-season arc with a specific ending in mind. He recently reiterated his stance on social media, confirming that season five will be the final season and teasing a "gory, epic, moist climax."

Homelander actor Antony Starr echoed Kripke's sentiment, explaining that the showrunner has always envisioned a five-season run for "The Boys." Starr emphasized the importance of ending the show on a high note, rather than dragging it out and risking a disappointing final season.

While the cast's enthusiasm for a blockbuster movie ending is understandable, it seems unlikely to materialize given Kripke's commitment to his original vision. Fans can still look forward to an action-packed and satisfying conclusion to "The Boys" in its fifth and final season.
