Dye, who played Jason Carver in Stranger Things season 4, will be making his Supe debut in the final instalment of the Prime Video hit, appearing alongside returning stars such as Jack Quaid (Hughie), Karl Urban (Billy Butcher) and Erin Moriarty (Starlight).
Variety has reported that he's set to play a new Supe, Bombsight. While little is known about the character, Bombsight has actually been mentioned in The Boys before – in season 4, it was mentioned that he starred in the 1950s film The Curse of Fu Manchu from Vought International.
Sources claimed to the outlet that Dye will also appear in upcoming spin-off Vought Rising but Prime Video declined to comment on that element of the casting.

Aside from Stranger Things, Dye will be recognisable to fans from his roles as Garrett in Teen Wolf, Tom Galligan in Bosch, and as Rick Kentwood in The Goldbergs.
Dye isn't the only new face we'll be seeing in The Boys season 5, with Daveed Diggs also joining the fray as a mysterious new character.
Meanwhile, alongside the host of familiar faces, season 5 will see the return of Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy.
While season 5 will be the final season of The Boys, it certainly won't be the last we see of that world, with spin-off show Gen V set to return and another spin-off, Vought Rising, announced earlier this year.
