According to Dark Horizons, the Amazon prequel series Vought Rising remains in active development, keeping the expanded Boys universe alive and moving forward. The 1950s-set spin-off promises to pull back the curtain on how Vought International built its empire — and that means a whole new roster of supes and corporate villains to cast.
Why This Is the Most Exciting Casting Puzzle in the Boys Universe
A prequel set inside Vought's early days is a genuinely different beast from the flagship series. Where The Boys drops us into a world where the corruption is already baked in, Vought Rising gets to dramatize how it got that way — the boardroom deals, the propaganda machinery, the first generation of Compound V experiments gone right and very, very wrong. That's a gift for casting: you need actors who can sell mid-century American optimism with a rotten core just beneath the surface. And crucially, two characters from the main series — Soldier Boy and Stormfront — are confirmed to factor into this era, which means the prequel has some direct connective tissue to fan-favorite storylines already.
What myCast Fans Are Already Voting For
The myCast community hasn't been sleeping on this one. The dedicated Vought Rising story is already live on the platform, and the early votes cut straight to the two characters everyone wants to see: fans have cast Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and Aya Cash as Stormfront — which, delightfully, mirrors the actual Boys Season 3 casting almost exactly. That's either a sign that fans think Amazon got it right the first time, or that no one has dared suggest an alternative yet. Either way, the story needs a lot more votes and a lot more roles filled out before we have a real picture of what the fan-cast version of Vought Rising looks like.
Meanwhile, the broader Boys fancasting conversation across the platform reveals some fascinating recurring choices. Looking at the three active The Boys dream-cast stories, Wyatt Russell shows up as a fan pick for Homelander across both The Boys (35) and — interesting given that Russell already plays a very different kind of legacy supe in the MCU. is another name that keeps surfacing, landing votes for Frenchman in multiple separate stories. And across the story, fans tapped himself for William Butcher — essentially voting for the actual cast, which tells you something about how locked-in some of these performances feel. None of these directly translate to Vought Rising roles, but they paint a picture of the kind of grounded, intense performer the fanbase gravitates toward for this universe.
