As Gen V returns to Godolkin University for a sophomore season, one new face could be back for a future Vought Rising appearance.
Eric Kripke, showrunner of the Prime Video series’ mutual parent show The Boys, noted that fans could see more of Ethan Slater‘s Thomas Godolkin after he’s introduced as the founder of “God U” and brain behind Project Odessa in Season 2 of Gen V, the first three episodes available to stream on Sept. 17.
“If Vought Rising works and we can keep doing more [seasons], I think we’d be insane to not put Ethan Slater’s character in that show,” Kripke told Entertainment Weekly. “He’s right there lined up for a younger Thomas Godolkin. We’ve discussed it.”

Kripke’s comment comes after Prime Video revealed a first look at Jensen Ackles reprising his role as Soldier Boy in Vought Rising, alongside some new Supes from the upcoming ’50s-set prequel series, including Mason Dye as Bombsight, Will Hochman as Torpedo and Elizabeth Posey as Private Angel.
Aya Cash also reprises her role as Stormfront, with KiKi Layne, Jorden Myrie, Nicolò Pasetti, Ricky Staffieri and Brian J. Smith joining the cast as well.
With Gen V‘s ’60s-set flashbacks of Godolkin sporting some gray hairs, taking the character back a decade to Vought Rising would allow Slater to play him closer to his actual age.
In July, Kripke wrapped the fifth and final season of The Boys, which premieres in 2026. Prime also has the animated spin-off The Boys Presents: Diabolical. Meanwhile, Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal are executive producing The Boys: Mexico, from Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.
