The Boys fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Ryan Butcher, and the character finally made his Season 5 debut in Episode 3, putting an end to speculation about his fate. Played by Cameron Crovetti, Ryan was seen reuniting with Billy Butcher, discussing the harsh realities of his situation before deciding to take action on his own.
One question that has been on viewers' minds is Ryan's age. In the show's universe, Ryan was born in early 2012, making him approximately 14 years old as of 2026, when the current season is set. However, the actor Cameron Crovetti is actually 18, which may cause some confusion among fans.
Fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the latest episode. One Reddit user commented, 'I never cared much for his character but this episode really sold me on him. Accepting his own death and going up against his dad is what a real superhero would do.' Another added, 'What an episode this was,' while a third remarked on Homelander's unexpected religious psychosis.
Episode 4 of The Boys Season 5 will be released on April 22, with the grand finale, Episode 8, scheduled for May 20. The series airs weekly on Wednesdays on Prime Video, with three episodes currently available to stream.
