It looks similar it has done an extensive time, extremely long truly since we’ve become the beautifully braided salt of ‘The Boys’ on our protection.
With production almost nearing completion on the third season of Prime Video’s hit series, it is time for a rundown of what we all know, what we’ve heard, and what to expect with ‘The Boys’. you’ll inspect our full review of last season, except, for now, let’s start.
SO, THE LAST SEASON ENDED WITH THINGS PRETTY NEATLY bound up, RIGHT?
In a way, yes. The season’s major villain, Stormfront, was just about addressed within the final scene. The Boys themselves were cleared of all their crimes, Annie / Starlight was reinstated within the Seven, Homelander was pulling the stomach off himself while looking down on a city, and Hughie got employment working for the crusading congresswoman, Victoria Neuman. Everything during a neat little package. EXCEPT IT WASN’T.
The very final moments revealed that Victoria Neuman was the assassin who had been berating people’s heads right along, which she was a ‘super and hid her abilities from everyone. Neuman, though she was publicly against Vought Industries, was silencing anyone and everybody who spoke out against them – aside from herself.
DOES THAT MEAN SHE’S WITH VOUGHT?
It’d add up, right? in any case, it would be just the type of fiendishly devious thing Vought Industries would do. Have a public, very controlled opposition that also happens to kill any real opposition within the process. It might be something else entirely, of course.
It may be that Neuman is fixing for something else, but one thing’s needless to say – we will just about guarantee that Neuman goes to possess a way bigger role within the third season.
WHO’S returning FROM LAST SEASON?
So far, much of the cast from Season 1 and a couple of are back for more in Season 3. meaning Jack Quaid and Karl Urban as Hughie and Billy Butcher, Antony Starr as Homelander, Erin Moriarty as Annie / Starlight, Dominique McElligott as Maggie Shaw / Queen Maeve, Chase Crawford because the Deep, and presumably Giancarlo Esposito as Vought Industries CEO Stan Edgar.
BUT THERE’S getting to BE NEW CAST MEMBERS, RIGHT?
Quite right. the large new cast member to hitch in Season 3 is none aside from ‘Supernatural’ star Jensen Ackles. He’ll be performing Soldier Boy, some original superhero formulated by Vought Industries. Although most people might equate Homelander with, say, Marvel’s Captain America or DC’S Superman, Soldier Boy is extremely much taking a page out of Captain America’s origins.
Soldier Boy was created by Dr. Vought in 1944 if he questioned Compound V – the direction which produces supes – on US soldiers. Soldier Boy became the primary supe, and his statue is outside the buildings of Vought Industries and briefly seen in an episode within the second season.
IS SOLDIER BOY getting to BE the large BAD OF SEASON 3?
It’s hard to mention, quite honestly. Every TV story of ‘The Boys’ has changed very clearly from the comics, using some storylines and characters, discarding others, and isolating itself from it because it requires. within the comics, Soldier Boy was a reasonably disturbing character. It’s fair to mention that Season 3 goes to step things up in a pretty significant way with Herogasm.
HEROISM? WHAT’S THAT?
‘Herogasm’ was an enormous story arc within the comics on which ‘The Boys’ is predicated. In these issues, Vought-American – that is what the corporate is named within the comics – hosts a sponsored and highly private event per annum called Herogasm on a secluded, tropical island. Outwardly, the planet is told that there is a serious crisis and every one of the supes are needed together during this one place to battle whatever threat it’s that Vought-American has concocted.

In reality, it is a giant, week-long orgy where supes have endless sex takes the drug, do anything legal or illegal, and therefore the whole world’s none the wiser. There is a big plot point that Soldier Boy has sex with Homelander because he thinks it’s an initiation to hitch The Seven. Now, showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that this arc won’t be included within the TV show’s version of Herogasm, but it isn’t clear what else is going to be involved. Either way, expect it to be pretty extreme.
The ‘Herogasm’ story arc was controversial, to mention the smallest amount, to not mention the particular event itself. There was an entire subplot about Billy Butcher sneaking into Herogasm and discovering that The Seven made a failed plan to stop 9/11 and caused a hijacked plane to crash into the Brooklyn Bridge in NY, killing over a thousand people within the process. This was adapted as a serious plot point within the first season of the TV series, where Homelander and Queen Maeve tried to save lots of the plane from hijacking and finished up making all the customers die.
OK, I’m Passionate. IS THERE A TRAILER OR RELEASE DATE?
Not yet on both counts.
Showrunner Eric Kripke posted a tweet just a few days ago about the premiere episode of the third season. Production only began in February, so if it takes around ten months to film, edit, produce visual effects, and so on, you will probably see the third season a while around December. Similarly, for a trailer, you’ll usually view that regarding 2 or 3 months out.
