Is Frenchie being recast in The Boys season 5? Tomer Capone's fate in the series explored
Capone's recasting rumor came to light with a TikTok video released by @invader.zema where they stated that the character would be recast as there are concerns related to his service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
However, the video does not give any official documentation. It does not cite any official source regarding the alleged recasting decision. Towards the end of the video, there is an advertisement for a fundraiser, which makes it even more clear that this video is just another unprofessional clickbait for the fundraiser, spreading misinformation. The user also claimed that Frenchie will be played by Timothee Chalamet in The Boys season 5.
Capone is one of the cast members from The Boys who will be attending the San Diego Comic-Con from July 25 to July 28 to promote the series. If there were any decisions regarding recasting the actor, he would probably not be listed to attend the event.
It is indeed true that Tomer Capone served in the IDF. He was conscripted into the force in 2004 since military service is compulsory in Israel. However, this was many years before he was cast in the series and the show creators are definitely aware of his military background given that the information is on his IMDb page.
Moreover, the tensions in Israel which have escalated recently in light of the war are adding to the rumor that perhaps Capone's role would be recast.
Who is Frenchie?
Frenchie, also known as Serge, has been a core part of The Boys since the first season, but he became one of the main characters in season 4 and gained limelight especially after he was revealed as bisexual and shown to have a romance entanglement with a man named Colin.
The character is one of the three tritagonists of the series who is often described as a "drug-dabbling, gunrunning jack-of-all-trades." His skillsets are invaluable to Butcher and The Boys. However, his impulsive decisions are always frustrating Mother's Milk.
Tomer Capone has meticulously portrayed Frenchie's distress and remorse about the horrible things he has done in the past. The character has been finally facing up to his sins in the latest season, and it looks like there is something big in store for him for the finale season of the Amazon series.
The first seven episodes of The Boys Season 4 are now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. The eighth and final episode of the season is scheduled to air on July 18, 2024. Watch this space for more updates on season 5.
