After we final left The Boys, Homelander’s (Anthony Starr) political dabbling was buzzing alongside and Billy Butcher (Karl City) had a terminal sickness. Two years and a new spin-off later, Homelander’s supercharging of a presidential marketing campaign continues to be a darkish mirror of the US political local weather and Butcher seems to desperately reckon together with his analysis.
The official trailer sees Butcher contemplating one thing very very like the X-Males legacy virus — a organic resolution that may kill the sequence’ supes. There’s loads of carnage, some teeing up of weighty, consequential moments, somebody’s cranium apparently spewing bubbles when cleaved with a hatchet, a Butcher standoff with Black Noir, and even a hen chest-burster.
The following season of The Boys debuts on June thirteenth on Amazon Prime Video. In addition to City and Starr, returning actors embody Jack Quaid, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, and Karen Fukuhara. New to the present are Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who, in my headcanon, will probably be reprising his Watchmen function as The Comic).
