A fascinating new figure has joined the ensemble of The Boys Season 5: Daveed Diggs! Diggs, who is well-known for his remarkable roles in Snowpiercer and Hamilton, is the first significant addition to the upcoming season of the popular Prime Video series, which has fans extremely excited.
But for the time being, his role’s specifics are still unknown.
Given that he received Tony and Grammy awards for playing both the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton, Diggs is no stranger to playing several parts.
Along with his roles in Snowpiercer, he has gained recognition for his work in television and movies, including voice work for characters in Star Wars: Visions and the animated superhero series Invincible on Amazon.
“New S5 crumbs. Daveed Diggs has joined The Boys family, so let’s all welcome him. He’ll be appearing in the show as a character. That’s all you get right now, as hinted to both The Boys and Prime Video.
Although this is complete speculation, some fans do think the actor could portray Malchemical in the fifth season.
In the comics, Malchemical has the power to alter his chemical composition, turning into different gases or liquids, making him incredibly difficult to defeat.
Though it’s unknown if Diggs will be portraying a superhero or a new partner for Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher’s vigilante squad, the fact that he was hired as a series regular implies that his character will play a big part in the story’s climax.
With multiple unresolved storylines from the dramatic Season 4 conclusion, the stakes are higher than ever as The Boys prepares for their dramatic fifth season.
Given that Season 5 will mark the conclusion of the plot, as stated by showrunner Eric Kripke, Diggs’ part will undoubtedly be an important component of this disorganized puzzle.
