Invincible Actor Cast in Major Mystery Role for The Boys Season 5

The Boys has added a star from both Invincible and Hamilton to its Season 5 cast, although the specific role of the actor is still kept secret.

Fans can expect to see many familiar faces returning for the final season of The Boys, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, and Jessie T. Usher.

Even guest stars such as Jensen Ackles, who portrays Soldier Boy, will be reprising their roles in Season 5. However, viewers have more than just returning characters to anticipate when The Boys debuts its fifth season.

Entertainment Weekly has reported that Daveed Diggs, known for his work in Hamilton and Snowpiercer, is joining the cast in a secretive role.

The producers of the Prime Video series are keeping the details of Diggs’ character tightly under wraps, yet he will be featured as a series regular alongside Urban, Quaid, Starr, Moriarty, and others.

No matter the character he embodies, Diggs will likely fit right into The Boys’ R-rated escapades, especially given that he lent his voice to the character Theo in Prime Video’s other violent superhero series, Invincible.

Diggs gained prominence through his performances as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the Broadway musical Hamilton, earning a Tony Award for his stellar role. He has since appeared in TNT’s Snowpiercer, voiced Sebastian in The Little Mermaid, and starred in the animated series Invincible.

Diggs joins The Boys cast at a pivotal moment, particularly as Season 5 is set to bring forth a multitude of surprising revelations.

This season will signify the conclusion of The Boys, with showrunner Eric Kripke expressing excitement over finally implementing a 5-season plan. Given his previous show, Supernatural, ran for an impressive 15 seasons on The CW, many fans have speculated whether The Boys might enjoy a similarly extended run.
