This wild The Boys theory works out who Ryan is going to side with in the next season

After the insane finale of The Boys season four that aired last week, the fans are in overdrive with theories for the fifth and final season. One of the maddest things about the finale was everything that went down with Ryan as Grace Mallory confronted him at Butcher’s hospital bedside. It really felt like Ryan was about to come back to his actual father figure and the side of the good after a year with Homelander poisoning his brain, but after Grace went a bit too heavy on the ultimatums and threats Ryan kills her and marches out the hospital. It was a shocking moment, and one of the most open ended avenues for The Boys is what the hell Ryan is going to do and who he’ll team up with. This theory about Ryan for the future actually explains who The Boys Reddit fans think he’s going to team up with, and it’s not looking good.

Reddit thinks Ryan is going to go full pelt baddie

The Reddit fans of The Boys are all debating a theory that Ryan is actually going to align with Soldier Boy. And it’s a harrowing concept, but could happen considering the finale of season four teased the return of Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy in a big MCU vibed mid credits scene. This reveal showed that Soldier Boy didn’t actually die at the end of season three in his big showdown at Vought, which saw Maeve also exit the show. So, both were presumed dead but neither actually died? Okay.

Anyway, if Soldier Boy is back – could he swoop in and claim Ryan and his allegiance? The Reddit user who started the debate explained “A team up I think we’ll see next season. Ryan is essentially all out of parental figures and Soldier boy missed out on being a father with that role seemingly being important to him.”

It would be pretty crazy if it happened. Ryan is obviously vulnerable right now and doesn’t know where his head’s at. I personally think he’s going to come to his senses, join up with the Boys and be the one who actually kills Homelander.
