'The Boys' creator Eric Kripke confirms Solider Boy will not appear in finale

In the penultimate episode, The Boys have two, not one, brutal exits. The first one is, of course, Frenchie, who was killed.

However, the other one, which many viewers perhaps did not see coming, is Soldier Boy.

Confirmed by Eric Kripke, who created the show, in a recent interview with Collider.

He shared that the 'Impala' reference by Soldier Boy was a nod to his past, as it was his last scene.

"Yes, of course. Of course, we did. Knowing that that was going to be Jensen’s last scene in the series, we wanted to put in one last reference."

Kripke shared that the team swapped "Ford" with "Impala" at the last moment.

"Honestly, Slem wrote and we shot that it was a Ford. It was, “Working on the old Ford.” 

"The danger of having (director) Phil Sgriccia and I, sitting next to each other in editing, which we would do, was that we were watching it and Phil was like, “Should it be 'Impala'?”

"And I was like, “Yeah, it probably should be 'Impala.'” And so, Jensen looped in 'Impala' just to do one last nod."

The Boys finale will first hit cinemas on May 19 and then streamer on May 20.
