It’s hard to be the most despicable character inThe Boys, but playing a literal Nazi might just do it. Stormfront (Aya Cash) is returning for the show’s first prequel series, titledVought Rising, along with fan favorite Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles). Production is yet to begin on the highly-anticipated show, but Cash already has fans excited,teasing thatVought Risingcould be peakThe Boys.
Speaking toScreen Rantat the red carpet for her new HBO comedy series,The Franchise, Aya Cash was asked about hersurprise return as Stormfront inVought Rising. The actress started out by making an important public safety announcement, emphasizing that her character in the show and herself are two VERY different people. “I want to be clear. She bad. She real bad. She bad bad bad. I don’t agree with her. And I can’t fly. We are different people,” Cash said.

“Honestly, you should know better. Everybody else knows better.”
While she despises her character’s actions, morals, and political alignment (we’d be worried if she didn’t), Cash loved playing Stormfront in the second season ofThe Boys, and cannot wait to return as a younger version of the supervillain. The actress confirmed thatshe has read some of the scripts forVought Rising, making clear her excitement for the upcoming spinoff. The actress continued:
“But I am so excited to go back and work with those people again.And I’ve read some scripts, and they’re really good.”
Stormfront Leads Upcoming The Boys Prequel Series
First announced during San Diego Comic-Con, Aya Cash is set to star alongsideJensen Acklesin a brand-new spin-off series,Vought Rising. Set in the 1950s, the show follows Soldier Boy and Stormfront (also known as Clara Vought) asthey attempt to solve a gruesome murder during the titular company’s rise to power.
If Soldier Boy was the personification of a problematic boomer inThe Boys, expect him to be much worse inVought Rising. A flashback scene inThe Boysshowed Soldier Boy on the frontlines during the Vietnam War, displaying some incredibly questionable and misogynistic behavior. The new show will be set around the same time,meaning Ackles can unleash an entirely unhinged performance, without Hughie, Butcher, or any societal decency holding him back.
