"The Boys" series executive producer Paul Grellong will be both
executive producer and showrunner for "Vought Rising."
Ackles also said he will return as his character Soldier Boy for
Season 5 of "The Boys."
Superhero show "The Boys" follows a team of misfit vigilantes
who fight corrupt super-powered people called “Supes.”
The show's panel had a lively start with a comedic live musical
performance of songs from the show, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan
throwing up his middle finger on stage, and a teaser trailer for
Season 2 of the spin-off "Gen V” at the annual pop culture
convention.
Jessie T. Usher, who plays the speedster named A-Train, joined
performers briefly on stage to perform a rap.
Clips were projected on screen while performers sang, including
the Season 4 song "Let's Put the Christ Back in Christmas" from
"The Boys'" parody of "Disney on Ice."
"In case you didn't know these guys, (they are) world-class
Broadway performers," said Morgan, who moderated the panel and
stars as CIA analyst Joe Kessler in Season 4.
He playfully honored the musical composer with a middle-finger
gesture, echoing the show's crude humor.
The Season 4 main cast took the stage, including Antony Starr,
who plays Homelander, the petty leader of the “Supes,” Jack
Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone,
Usher and Karen Fukuhara.
The show's creator Eric Kripke was also on the panel.
Season 5, which premieres in 2026, will be the series' last
season as part of show director Kripke's vision for the
comic-book adaptation.
The popular series also spawned the animated series "The Boys
Presents: Diabolical."
Stars have returned to the San Diego Comic-Con after the 2023
writers and actors strikes led to a subdued event last year,
with no A-list celebrities or Hall H panels, which are known for
delivering some of the biggest industry news.
