Stan Edgar’s The Boys Twist Explained (Will He Return?)

Stan Edgar’s The Boys Twist Explained (Will He Return?)

Largely thanks to Giancarlo Esposito’s imposing presence, it’s easy to forget how seldom Stan Edgar actually features in The Boys, making sporadic appearances in only 5 episodes throughout seasons 1 & 2. Bear in mind Esposito also has significant commitments to both Better Call Saul and The Mandalorian. The first half of The Boys season 3 spoiled audiences with considerably more Stan-time than usual, but the character was never likely to maintain that pace throughout. Now ousted from his own company by Homelander, it’s likely we won’t see Edgar again until The Boys season 3 finale or beyond.

In a 2021 interview with TVInsider, Giancarlo Esposito confirmed his The Boys season 3 return by confessing, “I got a chance to be with them [The Boys cast and crew] for the majority of February, so I had a chance to really feel the beginnings of season 3.” TV shoots rarely film chronologically, so “beginnings” doesn’t necessarily mean episodes 1-4, but Esposito’s comments certainly suggest he wasn’t a constant presence on set. The Boys season 3 might’ve front-loaded Edgar’s scenes before the character disappears to a quiet life of yoga and flower arranging (maybe).
How Stan Edgar Can Return In The Boys

Whether it be the end of season 3 or a future down the track, Stan Edgar’s door remains wide open for a The Boys return. As the landscape currently stands, Vought’s CEO has been stripped of his political and business clout, giving him precious few options for retaliation, but The Boys leaves a critical breadcrumb that hints how and why Edgar might come back.

When Homelander gloats about taking control of Vought, Giancarlo Esposito’s character utters the line, “I think you’ll come to sorely regret that.” This most ominous warning indicates Stan will simply bide his time and wait for Homelander to screw up so spectacularly, Vought’s boardroom begs Edgar to return and restore order, making all the corruption allegations disappear as abruptly as they were leveled. No one has a better grasp of Homelander’s psyche than Vought’s boss, so his prediction about Homelander’s leadership is tantamount to a cast-iron guarantee. Maybe that “temporary leave of absence” won’t become as permanent as Homelander thinks.

If Stan Edgar does come back to The Boys, he’ll surely be gunning for Homelander harder than ever before. Edgar already mentioned (to Robert Singer in “Payback”) how he wanted Vought to become a non-superhero company, so he likely already had a plan to rid the world of Homelander sooner or later. Now their feud has taken a more personal turn, Edgar vs. Homelander could become the biggest grudge match of The Boys season 4.
