Both Gen V and The Boys are famous for their incredibly over-the-top action sequences, featuring lots of explosions, gore, impressive fight scenes, and skillful use of wires and special effects.
We spoke with Koyama about how he keeps raising the stakes in his consistently shocking series.
As a huge fan of both *The Boys* and *Gen V*, I’m really excited to hear how carefully they’re approaching things. Basically, my team and I are diving deep into the scripts, and we’ll be meeting regularly with Eric Kripke and the writing team. We’re making sure everything – the story, the overall feel, and especially the characters – stays consistent and true to what makes these shows so great. It’s a super detailed process, making sure we nail every little thing.
The showrunners give me a lot of creative freedom – they really let me explore ideas and put my own spin on things. Occasionally, I push boundaries a little too far, and they have to rein me in, telling me certain ideas just aren’t possible. I’m learning where those limits are with ‘The Boys,’ because I initially thought there weren’t any!
Can he reveal where that limit is?
It’s hard to say for sure. We have some ideas, but we’ve been told some aren’t possible, so we’re holding onto them for now. I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but there’s a chance they might get the go-ahead.
He assures us the stunts in the rest of the season are much more ambitious and exciting, with the story and action becoming increasingly intense.
The second season of Gen V introduces a new dean at Godolkin University, the school for young superheroes. This dean, Cipher (Hamish Linklater), wants to push the students’ powers to their absolute limits to make them stronger, and he’s especially focused on Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) and her ability to control blood.
I’m so hyped for the final season of *The Boys*! Apparently, it’s going to be completely over the top. Koyama, who’s involved with the show, said they really embraced a ‘full speed ahead’ mentality while filming. Their motto was basically ‘all gas, no brakes’ – they just kept pushing, constantly, right up to the very last day. Sounds insane, and honestly, that’s exactly what I want from this show!
The actors performed all of their own fight scenes in both shows. The biggest safety concern wasn’t typical injuries, but the heightened impact of being hit by someone with superpowers – think being thrown through walls instead of just a regular punch.
Okay, so I’ve been following *The Boys* closely, and it looks like Eric Kripke, the showrunner, always knew how he wanted to wrap things up. Season 5 is going to be the final one, and things are seriously escalating. Antony Starr’s Homelander is now basically running the country, which means a massive confrontation between Butcher’s crew and The Seven is absolutely inevitable. It’s setting up to be a huge, explosive finish!
You may remember Koyama from season four of *The Boys*. He played Koy, the stunt coach for Ryan Butcher (Cameron Crovetti), during a fake rescue scene. Unfortunately, Ryan accidentally kills Koyama when he throws him with too much force into a building.
Season 2 of Gen V will premiere on Prime Video on October 15, 2025. You can watch all four seasons of The Boys now, and new subscribers can try Amazon Prime Video for free for 30 days.
