A new trailer for The Boys season 3 reveals that it’s going to get very, very gory as Butcher gets his supe on this June on Prime Video.
Coming June 3, the third season of the superhero satire show will see Butcher take a serum that turns him into a superpowered human himself, albeit for just 24 hours. “For once I’ve leveled the f**cking playing field” he says, referring to his long-standing battle with corrupt superheroes.
Presumably in the path of his new, glowing eyes is Homelander, who according to Starlight has “lost his f**cking mind”. It seems the gloves are off in the fight against the world’s most deranged patriot, although it’s clear Butcher’s peers don’t think too much of his radical new methods.
Season 3 is also set to introduce Soldier Boy, a character from the comics who will be played by Jensen Ackles. He will, apparently, be worse than Homelander. Yikes.
The new episodes follow on from the fantastic second season of The Boys, which featured major reveals about Butcher’s family life, as well as continued efforts to humanise its super-powered cast. That was, of course, against the backdrop of a brutally bloody action show, and this trailer seems to suggest that season 3 could be even more gory.
