Spoilers of course follow for The Boys Season 5, Episode 7.
With Prime Video’s The Boys coming to a close soon — the series finale drops one week from today — many of the characters’ arcs are nearing completion. And in this week’s episode, “The Frenchman, the Female and the Man Called Mother’s Milk,” Chace Crawford’s The Deep reaches a point that could mark the end of his story. And along the way, he encounters a character who happens to be voiced by a luminary from a different superhero universe altogether: Samuel L. Jackson!
Yes, Nick Fury himself is now part of The Boys universe. Only here, Jackson is playing a foul-mouthed shark named Xander. And he’s none too pleased with The Deep.
First Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) caused an environmental disaster at sea, destroying a Vought oil pipeline which killed over a billion fish. Then The Deep killed Black Noir, his alleged friend, in retaliation. And this week, The Deep learned that Homelander (Antony Starr) was disbanding the supe group The Seven and would no longer be needing The Deep’s services. What was left for the Lord of the Seven Seas to do but go sit on a dock and drink a six-pack to wallow in his sorrows? Which is where Jackson’s Xander comes in.
