Are We Getting a New Supe in Season 5 of ‘The Boys’? Colbie Minifie Teases Ashley’s Final Arc!
The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world. This dark take on the superhero genre, which was adapted from the comic book of the same name, shot to popularity on Amazon Prime and continues to push the limits of what can be presented on television in a variety of ways.
The showrunners are presently working on its fifth season, also the series’ final one, following four successful seasons and a spin-off series. Everyone has been hinting at an incredible conclusion to the show, and considering where the fourth season left us, we kind of believe them.
As far as the fate of the characters is concerned, Season 4 left us in a pretty chaotic state and there are numerous questions that need to be answered, as basically every character left us with something that needs to be resolved, which is great. And while Ashley has not been one of the main characters, she received a pretty good character arc in Season 4 and that chaotic ending 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, we’re definitely in for an exciting turn of events as far as Ashley’s story is concerned.
