Giancarlo Esposito has wowed fans with his portrayal of Stan Edgar inThe Boys. Not only are audiences keenly interested in what the actor has to offer, but they are also very intrigued by the character of Edgar. While others cower before Homelnader, Esposito’s Stan Edgar not only puts up with Homelander but also manages to put him in his place.
However, the actor generally has played some menacing roles that would put characters like Homelander to shame. While there are characters like Antón Castillo and Stan Edgar who have the guts to stand up to Homelander, there is one character the actor has portrayed who could put Homelander to shame as a villain.
Giancarlo Esposito’s Gustavo Fring still remains one of the most notorious villains on television
While Homelander has been written to be one of the biggest villains in modern television, Gustavo Fring remains one of the most interesting and complicated villains that audiences have come across. Giancarlo Esposito not only has a great range when it comes to playing the character, but he also makes switches into therole pretty seamlessly.

Be itBetter Call SaulorBreaking Bad, Gustavo Fring has been a mainstay in the franchise and an important figure in the fandom. Of course, this has gotten fans to compare the character with the actor’s other roles, saying that no wonder Homelander is scared of the man, given that he plays Stan Edgar and Gustavo Fring.
Will Stan Edgar play an important role inThe BoysSeason 5?
Stan Edgar was an important character inThe Boys, who not only kept the likes of Homelander in line but also protected the image that Vought among the public.
While the character had a small role to play in Season 4, Stan Edgar might be siding with the good guys after all. After Hughie and The Boys are successful in bringing down Homelander and his posse, Stan Edgar might make changes to Vought, making it a different company and launching a separate superhero team (as was the case with Vought in the comics).

This could mean thatThe BoysSeason 5 could featureGiancarlo Espositomore heavily, perhaps making a joke about Bob Iger being replaced at Disney but having to come back to take the reigns of the company back from his protege to stabilize the company. Giancarlo would play the character to perfection, and be totally on brand for The Boys.
While his character does not survive to see the end in the source material, it might be the way to go given that killing him off holds no advantage for Homelander or The Boys, but in actuality could work towards a good resolution.
