To cease him, Butcher has sacrificed every part, even changing into what he hates. He has been taking Compound V since season 3 to battle Homelander, which finally manifested in a darker alter-ego with tentacle powers known as Joe Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Whereas we get loads of pictures within the trailer of Butcher utilizing his tentacles, it’s not clear how a lot of that’s him and the way a lot is Kessler’s affect. Regardless, Butcher appears dedicated to releasing a Supe-killing virus, even when it takes him out within the course of.

Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) has been frozen by President Calhoun (David Andrews) since his defeat in season 3, throughout which Homelander discovered that the patriotic Supe is his father. The TV present’s depiction of Soldier Boy differs fairly a bit from the comics—a degree underscored by the trailer, through which Homelander insists he didn’t have intercourse with Soldier Boy—which makes their team-up new territory, story-wise.

Does all this consideration imply that A-Practice shall be one of many large heroes of season 5? Or is that this all a tease for an early demise at Homelander’s hand? If it’s the latter, then Sister Sage (Susan Heyward) is certain to be concerned. The sensible current addition to the Seven will get a number of display screen time within the trailer, however we principally see her watching and reacting, which signifies that she’s enjoying angles that nobody sees coming, particularly not her teammates.
