Invincible star joins The Boys Season 5 cast in major mystery role

As a die-hard fan of superhero dramas and musicals, I can hardly contain my excitement about the addition of Daveed Diggs to The Boys cast for Season 5! With his impressive resume that spans from Hamilton’s Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson to Snowpiercer’s MIcro, and even The Little Mermaid’s Sebastian, it’s clear he knows how to bring a character to life in unique and captivating ways.


For Season 5 of The Boys, they’ve brought onboard an actor who is also known from Invincible and Hamilton, but the specific role this talented performer will embody is still a mystery at the moment.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that next season will bring back many of my favorite cast members from The Boys for what seems like the final act. This includes Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Laz Alonso, and Jessie T. Usher. Can’t wait to see what’s in store!

In the upcoming Season 5, even recurring actors such as Jensen Ackles, portraying Soldier Boy, are expected to return. However, viewers can anticipate much more than just familiar faces when The Boys returns for its fifth season.

According to Entertainment Weekly, it’s been announced that Daveed Diggs – known for his roles in Hamilton and Snowpiercer – will be taking on an enigmatic role within the show’s cast.

Producers of the Prime Video series are tightly guarding the details about Diggs’ character, but it’s confirmed that he will play a recurring role, joining the cast alongside Urban, Quaid, Starr, Moriarty, and others.

Regardless of his role, Diggs is likely to find himself comfortable with the adult-oriented antics of The Boys, considering he provided the voice for Theo in another brutal superhero series on Amazon Prime, Invincible.

Diggs made a significant mark on stage when he portrayed Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, winning a Tony Award for his acting. Since then, he’s appeared in Snowpiercer on TNT, voiced Sebastian in The Little Mermaid, and also starred in the animated series Invincible.

Diggs is joining the cast of The Boys at a significant moment, as Season 5 promises numerous surprises. For instance, there’s still plenty to uncover about Ashley’s upcoming character arc, Butcher’s fresh powers, and the strategies the main team will employ to finally defeat Homelander for good.

In simple terms, Season 5 signifies the concluding chapter for “The Boys,” as showrunner Eric Kripke has expressed his eagerness to bring a pre-planned 5-season storyline to life. Given that his previous series, Supernatural, ran for an impressive 15 seasons on The CW, there was speculation about whether The Boys would also enjoy a lengthy run.
