The Boys Season 3: 10 Reasons To Be Excited
6. New Heroes On The Scene
If there is one criticism that could lean into legitimate concern for the future of The Boys, it's that it needs to start upping the number of Supes it brings on screen. With the exception of a few bit parts, and a multitude of references, the focus has still been primarily on The Seven.
The Boys comic series has a treasure trove of superheroes for our team of protaganists to pummel in gruesome ways, and thankfully with a CIA backed team entering the third season, it also means that maybe they'll plunge into classic story arcs from the comics.
Season 2 gave us some great comic book Easter Eggs and arcs, including the return of Lamplighter, a reference to Malchemical and an appearance of the Soviet Supe Love Sausage. Thankfully, Supernatural's Jensen Ackles has been confirmed to appear as a major cast member in the third season as Soldier Boy - which should mean Payback aren't far behind him.
Without spoiling where the story could go, it might be safe to say the depravity of The Boys is about to get a lot more ludicrous if Payback make an appearance.
