The Boys Addresses A-Train’s Absence in Season 5

The Boys Addresses A-Train's Absence in Season 5

As a long-time fan of The Boys, I must say, this news about A-Train being “deployed overseas” by Vought International is nothing but a clever cover-up. We all know that Homelander’s wrath is not something to be trifled with, and A-Train has been a thorn in his side for too long. I can’t help but think of A-Train as the proverbial mouse that roared, and now he’s gone into hiding like a frightened rodent.


In Season 5 of The Boys, A-Trtrain’s departure at the end of Season 4 might have left fans wondering where he went. However, Vought International, the show’s in-universe organization, has shared a clue on their social media about how they plan to explain his absence. In a recent post, they announced that A-Train is being sent overseas immediately, but they’ve kept the specifics under wraps. They also added well wishes for him, saying “good luck” and “God speed.”

Right now, it’s official that A-Train will be dispatched abroad without delay. Due to security concerns, we can’t reveal any specifics – it’s crucial for his protection as well as the safety of the global community. Let’s send him our best wishes and may he have a safe journey!

In simpler terms, this statement suggests that the news appears credible to citizens in the world of “The Boys,” making it a plausible reason for a hero to stay hidden. However, fans of the show recognize it as a cleverly crafted disguise. The second part explains that the penultimate episode of Season 4 featured significant changes for Jesse T. Usher’s character, A-Train. When he learns that The Seven knows he is the leak and Homelander will soon discover this truth, he follows Ashley Barrett’s advice, removes his tracking device, and effectively disappears.

Regarding the upcoming events for A-Train in Season 5, it remains a mystery for now, but considering his importance to The Boys and the storyline, as well as Homelander’s betrayal revealing A-Train’s true nature, there’s a strong chance we haven’t seen the last of him before everything concludes.

The Boys Creator Says Deaths in Season 5 Will Be Richly Deserved

Fans can only speculate about A-Train’s future in the series, but creator of The Boys, Eric Kripke, has hinted that Season 5 may involve some character demises. He assures us that those who meet their end will have truly earned it.

In a past interview, Kripke stated that any character who meets their end in Season 5 will have earned it. He went on to mention that while the season isn’t completely written yet, they do have a general idea of which characters live and die. However, he noted that the specifics aren’t all set in stone. Essentially, each character gets a chance to decide their own fate as they approach the final season of the show, implying not everyone will make it to the end.

Erin Moriarty Has Ideas on Who Starlight Should Kill in The Boys Final Season

Erin Moriarty, who plays The Boys’ character, has given her opinion on whom Starlight should eliminate in the upcoming series finale, according to her statement to ComicBook. This other Superhero has so far eluded Homelander.

“Listen, I personally, I think that as of this past season, all bets are off. I think that we had certain predictions. I think she should kill Homelander. I don’t think that want or desire will or can be met. Who knows? But she’s got to at least get The Deep, let me kill the fish guy at least, bare minimum for God’s sake…But it needs to be under circumstances where she’s provoked at first because that’s her. She can’t just go and kill someone. They need to attack her and its self-defense because she’s Annie, but she’s got to get someone and I feel like people weren’t rooting for that as much until this past season. But that concept of a cathartic karma. I think we really need it. So, all of the above, all of them.”

She also noted a team-up she’d like to see.

She suggested, “Ashley and whoever she transforms into must work together with me to defeat everyone. Shall we do that?”
