The Boys is racing towards its season finale, but fans are convinced that A-Train will ultimately die before the episode is over.
The first look atThe BoysSeason 4’s penultimate episode is a hell of a teaser. There’s a huge brawl happening in The Boys’ headquarters, a puppet A-Train, and Homelander seemingly going off the deep end – and it’s all set to the whimsical tune of Christmas.

However, fans on social media are terrified that A-Train is destined to die in this episode. Many picked up on his increased presence in the trailer and how he doesn’t seem to participate asThe DeepandStarlightthrow down.
“Bro is cooked,” one fansaidwith a screenshot of the A-Train puppet, who appears to be in a Christmas special withHomelander’s son, Ryan.
“No lie, I hope A Train survives the series,” anothersaid. “When the kid smiled at him, you can tell he felt like a hero for once.”
That scene, in particular, where A-Train isacknowledged by a young fanwhile savingMother’s Milk, has led many to believe that The Seven’s residentsuper speedsteris destined to die.
For many, it’s the natural progression of his arc. A-Train’s carelessness is ultimately why the show happens in the first place, but the character has been primed for a redemption arc. Season 4 has brought that to fruition, as A-Train found himself secretly helping The Boys.
Unfortunately, that arc almost certainly spells disaster, as The Boys is a show where bad things routinely happen to good people. With only two episodes left in Season 4, A-Train is now more likely to be killed than he ever has been before.
