"Soon, it'll be time to level the playing field."
Prime Video has released a new poster for the upcoming third season of The Boys, and it features series lead Karl Urban (Star Trek, Dredd) as a seemingly "suped-up" Billy Butcher.
As fans of the comic will be aware, every member of the team takes Compound V in order to match-up to The Seven. Butcher, Hughie, Frenchie, Mother's Milk and The Female all gain enhanced strength, but it looks like ol' Billy boy will be boasting some nifty new heat vision powers similar to Homelander's.
Will Butcher be the only one to gain powers on the show? Keep an eye out for the first trailer, which should give us a much better idea of what to expect.
Season 2 of The Boys ended with the death of Butcher's wife and the apparent disbanding of the team. We know they will reunite, however, most likely in attempt to bring down the increasingly psychotic Homelander. Queen Maeve was able to blackmail her rage-fuelled leader into backing off in the finale, but actor Anthony Starr has already confirmed that he will really let loose in Season 3.
It's also been confirmed that the highly controversial Herogasm comic book arc will be adapted, and showrunner Eric Kripke has hinted that the episode will be every bit as depraved as the comic.
