The Boys S03E05: Comics Fans Can Expect a "Legend"-ary Appearance

By the time the credits rolled on last week's episode (our review here), Butcher (Karl Urban) found his team falling apart as his V-24 use grows and brings Hughie (Jack Quaid) into the mix. But while Butcher might have some reservations, Hughie is enjoying the power a little too much. Meanwhile, Homelander (Antony Starr) made it brutally clear to Starlight (Erin Moriarty) that he's in charge now, while Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) went on a walkabout after depowering Kumiko (Karen Fukuhara). That brings us to this week's episode S03E05 "The Last Time To Look On This World of Lies," with the promo released earlier today highlighting Butcher & Hughie hunting Soldier Boy, A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) investigating Blue Hawk (Nick Wechsler), and more… including that musical dance number between Kumiko & Serge (Tomer Capon) that we've been looking forward. But there was someone who is set to be making an appearance this week who wasn't included in the promo but was ten-ton teased via Twitter later in the day.

That's right, The Legend will be making his debut this week. First introduced in The Boys #7, The Legend is an elderly man who works as an informant for Butcher and his crew. What makes The Legend so important? Having been a comic editor & writer at Vought-American's Victory Comics, The Legend's work on superhero comics gave him an impressive knowledge of not just supes but also about Vought-American's darker history. It will be interesting to see if his storyline follows the comics, especially his connections to Queen Maeve. Now here's a look at the heads-up about The Legend's appearance from earlier today:

So with all of that in mind, here's a look at the promo for this week's episode, S03E05 "The Last Time To Look On This World of Lies" (followed by some cool extras worth checking out):

And just in case you need a refresher course on the first two seasons to make sure you didn't miss any important details, here's a look at a quick (close to) 15-minute recap:

Here's a look back at the extended cut of Soldier Boy's "golden" performance from S03E04 "Glorious Five Year Plan,"

Today, we take a look back as Soldier Boy serenades the Solid Gold dancers with a Super rendition of Blondie's "Rapture" just before his heroic final mission. Shortly after, he was posthumously awarded a Vrammy for Best Special Guest Performance!

In an interview with Variety, Vernon Sanders, Amazon Studios Head of Global Television, discussed how things are looking with The Boys universe expanding:

"The Boys: Diabolical" Season 2? "There is absolutely the possibility. We were excited when we launched. We thought there was a two-fold opportunity with 'Diabolical.' One was to get 'The Boys' fans excited about and get it out early. But we also wanted to see if there was another bite of the apple once the mothership show returned, and we are seeing real engagement and growth of the show there. We've definitely had conversations with the producers about what the next installment would look like."

Untitled College-Based Spinoff? "We are thrilled, the dailies look great, we are excited about the cast that we have. It absolutely has 'The Boys,' it's part of the show, but I think the other thing we are excited about, it's different in its own way. It's definitely been a long road. I have to admit, when Eric Kripke came to talk to us about the spinoff, we were so excited about the potential of it, we told him we wanted it two years earlier than he said he could get it done. Eric has been great and brought great showrunners as well."

More Spinoffs? "There's ideas beyond the shows that we have. We want to pace ourselves. The launch of the show this season so far has really blown us away, and I wouldn't be surprised if you heard about more but for the time being, we are focused on this next show and making sure that it lives up to everything it needs to be, and so far, we are on track."
