Soldier Boy and Crimson Countess revealed in The Boys purple-band teaser

High Video unveiled a new purple-band teaser for the third season of its hit sequence The Boys in the route of a SXSW panel on Saturday. The display masks is fixed with the comedian e book sequence of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. There are a pair of new faces among the solid, plus a scene in the teaser that surely takes web web site in THAT irascible storyline from the comedian e book sequence.

(Spoilers for the first two seasons under.)

The Boys is determined in a fictional universe the place superheroes are loyal but are corrupted by corporate interests and a poisonous star-obsessed custom. The most elite superhero community is thought as the Seven, operated by the Vought Corporation, which created the supes with a substance known as Compound V. The Seven is headed up by Homelander (Antony Starr in a career-making efficiency), a violent and unstable psychopath disguised as the All-American hero. Homelander’s counterpart as the head of the titular “Boys” is Billy Butcher (Karl City), a self-appointed vigilante intent on checking the sinful behavior of the Seven, severely Homelander, who brutally raped Butcher’s unhurried wife.

The S1 finale ended with a most valuable cliffhanger: Butcher, intent on blowing himself up and taking Homelander with him, modified his mind when the supervillain suggested him that Butcher’s ex-wife, Becca (Shantel VanSanten), became once level-headed alive—and raising the (superpowered) son, Ryan (Cameron Crovetti), who became once the final result of her rape by Homelander. That’s moderately mighty the place the 2nd season picked up.

As S2 opened, the Boys had been fugitives, having been framed for a S1 cancel in fact dedicated by Homelander. Their attempts to particular themselves had been hampered by a mysterious murderer who saved blowing up anybody who might maybe maybe well give them beneficial leads. The Boys had been furthermore charged with tracking a telekinetic terrorist who turned out to be Kimiko’s (Karen Fukuhara) younger brother, Kenji (Abraham Lim). Butcher struggled to just accept Becca’s son, whereas Homelander tried to be a father figure and educate Ryan use his powers.

Homelander’s dominance of Vought became once furthermore challenged when CEO Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) triggered a new member—Stormfront (played by Aya Money, who stole scene after scene). Homelander and Stormfront turned followers, and she helped him increase from a PR catastrophe. Pointless to express, Stormfront turned out to be a Nazi-affiliated superhero beforehand identified as Liberty and the first superhero created with Compound V. And Homelander skilled his first factual predicament, torn between the girl he cherished and his standard hatred of all issues Nazi.

Within the S2 finale, Homelander and Stormfront kidnapped Ryan, forcing a showdown with the rotten couple on one facet whereas Butcher and Becca had been on the opposite. Ryan crippled Stormfront alongside with his laser eyes when she threatened his mother—but unintentionally killed Becca, too. Ryan became once taken into CIA custody after a wretchedness-stricken Homelander became once blackmailed into allowing them to depart. A-Order (Jessie T. Usher) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty) rejoined the Seven, but The Deep (Chace Crawford) became once one more time excluded. Meanwhile, Hughie (Jack Quaid) left the Boys to work for Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit)—who, unbeknownst to Hughie, is the mysterious murderer.

What is going to S3 ship? One beneficial clue is that the first S3 episode is entitled “Payback.” Within the comics, that is the name of an earlier Vought community of superheroes, loosely fixed with Surprise’s Avengers. Payback became once the successor to The Avenging Squad, which became once destroyed in the Fight of the Bulge in the 1940s. Payback participants include Eagle the Archer, who regarded in S2 of the TV sequence (played by Langston Kerman). He’s the one who recruited Deep and A-Order to the Church of the Collective forward of the cult turned towards him. A fictional Seven on 7 news portray remaining summer season suggested us that Eagle had quit the superhero gig after the Church publicly humiliated him. He’s now attempting to change correct into a rapper.

Two other Payback participants are joining the solid in S3: Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles)—mercurial name-checked in S2 as a colleague of Stormfront encourage when she glided by Liberty—and Crimson Countess (Laurie Holden), who has warmth-associated powers. There might maybe be no such thing as a news but on whether or not we will meet other Payback participants equivalent to Tek Knight, Swatto, and Thoughts Droid (who is romantically enthusiastic with Crimson Countess in the comics). Nonetheless the percentages seem staunch.

We furthermore know that the third season will incorporate regarded as one of many comedian’s most handsome storylines: Herogasm. In this standalone comedian miniseries, the Boys infiltrate Vought’s annual superhero assemble collectively, which turns out to be factual one long weekend of kinky intercourse and drug use on a secluded island. Fans had been intrepid showrunner Eric Kripke to ship that storyline to the masks, and he confirmed on Twitter remaining January that the sixth S3 episode will certainly be titled “Herogasm.”
