The Boys<\/a> season 3 is less than a month away and we now have the second full trailer to sink our teeth into, after the first trailer<\/a> teased Butcher gaining powers and the introduction of Jensen Ackles\u2019 new Supe character, Soldier Boy.<\/p>\n

The new trailer finds Homelander on a media tour trying to redeem his image, following his relationship with Stormfront. Starlight tells us \u201cthere\u2019s something wrong with Homelander, something broken\u201d, in the understatement of the year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile we\u2019re told that Butcher has supposedly been on the straight-and-narrow for a year, spending time with Becca\u2019s son and leaving his Supe killing days behind him. We\u2019ll believe it when we see it.<\/p>\n

You can watch the full trailer here:<\/p>\n\n<p>The trailer also confirms that Butcher\u2019s powers are temporary, and that he is given a version of compound V which wears off by Queen Maeve, in the hope of taking down Homelander.<\/p>\n<p>Season 3 will once again star Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Anthony Starr and Erin Moriarty amongst others, while new characters include Jensen Ackles, Katia Winter and Miles Gaston Villanueva as Soldier Boy, Little Nina and Supersonic respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Laurie Holden will play Crimson Countess, seemingly a take on Marvel\u2019s Scarlet Witch who most recently appeared in <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/doctor-strange-2-release-date-cast-trailer-plot\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We get to see both Soldier Boy and the Crimson Countess in action during the trailer, and it\u2019s fair to say we wouldn\u2019t want to mess with either of them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a new synopsis for season 3 says: \u201cIt\u2019s been a year of calm. Homelander\u2019s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when The Boys learn of a mysterious anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into The Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.\u201d<\/p> <p>Karl Urban told <a href=\"\/\/variety.com\/2022\/tv\/news\/the-boys-season-four-karl-urban-amazon-1235203158\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Variety<\/a> in March that he would be \u201cshooting \u2018The Boys\u2019 through the end of the year\u201d, which may suggest the series will be returning for a fourth season, as the third is known to have already wrapped filming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Boys season 3 premieres on <a class=\""body-link"\" href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/video\/detail\/B07V4TMWFR?tag=radtim0b-21&ascsubtag=radiotimes-0"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""sponsored" noopener noreferrer\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\""https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/video\/detail\/B07V4TMWFR\/ref=atv_dp"\" data-affiliate=\""true"\" data-geniuslink=\""https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=114542&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fgp%2Fvideo%2Fdetail%2FB07V4TMWFR%3Ftag%3Dradtim0b-21%26ascsubtag%3Dradiotimes-1292703&dtb=1"\">Amazon Prime Video<\/a> on Friday 3rd June.
