According to Collider, The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has shared an encouraging update on the future of Gen V — the Prime Video superhero spin-off that left fans stunned when it was cancelled. Kripke's comments suggest the story of Godolkin University's super-powered students may not be over just yet.
Why Gen V's Future Matters to the Fancasting World
Gen V carved out its own identity within The Boys universe, introducing a younger generation of Supes navigating a morally corrupt system — and it did so with enough swagger to build a genuinely devoted fanbase. If a revival is in the cards, the central question becomes: who comes back, and who gets recast or reimagined? Any revival or continuation would almost certainly need to reconcile the fates of its core cast, and the door could feasibly open for fresh faces alongside returning favorites. That's the kind of casting conversation the internet was built for.
For fans of the broader Boys universe, a Gen V revival also raises the tantalizing possibility of deeper crossover potential — new characters who could eventually bleed into the parent series, or familiar faces from Vought's world making campus appearances. The casting implications are genuinely wide open.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has been busy imagining both worlds. Over on the dedicated Gen V fan-cast story, fans have been staking out their dream picks for the show's core ensemble. The most striking choice? Zendaya Coleman leading the ballot as Marie Moreau, the blood-manipulating freshman at the center of the show's first season. It's an aspirational pick that says a lot about how fans perceive the character's star potential. Elsewhere in that story, Lulu Wilson is the fan pick for the morally complex Cate Dunlap, Lisa Yamada gets the nod for the dual-gender Jordan Li, and Miles Brown is tapped for Andre Anderson.
On the parent series side, myCast has multiple active Boys fan-cast stories worth exploring. Across The Boys and , one name keeps surfacing: earns fan votes for Homelander in both stories — a fascinating choice given Russell's real-world Boys universe connection as the MCU's John Walker. also pulls double duty, appearing as a top pick for Frenchman across two separate stories. Meanwhile, and split the fan vote for Billy Butcher, and gets the call for Mother's Milk in — another fun MCU-adjacent casting idea. Over in , fans go a different direction with staying loyal to his actual role as Butcher, while earns the Hughie Campbell pick and lands Mother's Milk.
