Starlight attacks the Deep and Butcher promises "superheroes are done" in ominous trailer for The Boys season 5 finale

The Boys season 5.

The Boys season 5 finale is landing in just a few days, and a seriously ominous finale trailer sets the scene for what's bound to be an explosive conclusion.

In the trailer, which you can watch below, we see Starlight attack the Deep in the White House, Homelander approach Ryan, and Butcher wielding a crowbar. An ominous voiceover from Butcher warns that "superheroes are done."

The series finale could finally be the episode in which the Boys succeed in killing Homelander, after the Supe dealt them a terrible blow last episode when he murdered Frenchie. As for how it all goes down, though, that remains to be seen.

Showrunner Eric Kripke has been hyping up the finale, teasing: "Holy fuck. A literal ride. Those who scored tickets are in for a treat. Thanks for a moment I'll never forget." The finale will play in theaters in the US.

While big things might be coming in the final episode, some fans have been venting frustrations about "filler" episodes and set-up for the upcoming spin-off Vought Rising.

"We had this notion of this McGuffin, and we knew Soldier Boy was gonna be a character this season and just like, well, why is he immortal?" Kripke has said of Vought Rising connections. "And why is Stormfront immortal? What is it about whatever they had, right? We didn't start it with like, 'We gotta get Bombsight in there, guys, we gotta set up our thing.'"

You can make sure you don't miss a second of the finale with our The Boys season 5 release schedule, or check out our The Boys season 5 recap to catch-up on what you need to know.
