“The Boys ss 3”: release date, announcement
It is known that the filming of the season 3 of the TV series “The Boys” started in February 2021 and ended in September of the same year. Next, the TV project was waiting for the installation process and other multiple technical subtleties, which lasted until the beginning of 2022. As of now, “The Boys season 3” is scheduled to premiere on June 3, 2022.
Plot
Hughie Campbell was shocked when he saw the remains of his beloved scattered all over the street. He realized that there is a second side to superheroism, which does not look very beautiful in public and therefore is hushed up. Over the years, he got used to the fact that superheroes are everywhere. People have abilities and they are trying to become leaders so that the world knows them.
Deciding to declare war on such an attitude towards people, Hughie negotiates with lawyers who defend the interests of superheroes. But Campbell knows very well that his rights have been violated. Instead of an apology, he receives a bank check, but this outcome does not suit him. He decides to join Billy Butcher – a few years ago his wife disappeared without a trace after she was raped by Homelander.
Billy also hates superheroes, but most of all – Homelander. He is so important, in a suit that looks like a superman outfit, Homelander has similar abilities. People adore him, they consider him a guiding star, send letters and simply do not react to conversations about his dishonor. There is no one better than Homelander, he is number one in the superhero team.
Butcher is no doubt willing to sacrifice his life just to get revenge on Homelander. It is best to kill him and a couple of supers. Hughie is happy to join him, but it doesn’t work the first time.
Campbell doesn’t think all superheroes are the same. This is especially proven by his meeting with Annie, a superhero girl who recently became popular.
Several more people join Butcher and Hughie. Everyone has a grudge against superheroes and wants to reveal the truth to people. Hughie may be right, and not all supers are the same, but every hero will defend the camp they belong to. The main enemy of the boys is still Homelander. And having learned that Billy’s wife is alive, the boys need him alive…
Actors and their roles
- Billy Butcher – a grumpy bearded man in good physical shape; looks for Homelander, but always one step behind; gathered a team of like-minded people ready to help; dreams of returning his wife, who was raped and kidnapped by Homelander a few years ago – Karl Urban.
- Hughie Campbell – computer hardware salesman; he had previously dated a girl whom one of the supers accidentally killed, when he was running in an unknown direction; when Hughie found out that the superhero did not notice the girl, because he was under drugs, he clearly decided to take revenge and protect other people – Jack Quaid.
- Homelander – the main superhero; number one; knows how to find people; possesses great speed, laser vision, sees through objects, flies; keeps Billy’s wife away from prying eyes; she lives with her born child; Homelander has a sadistic tendency and shows it all the time – Antony Starr.
- Annie – recently joined the team of supers and still cannot believe that they are so disgusting; hates clothes that stylists impose on her; is friends with Hughie, but for a long time he does not reveal his identity and participation in the group of boys; Annie is naive, gullible and disappointed in superheroes – Erin Moriarty.
Interesting Facts
- Antony Starr said that he felt sorry for his hero, because he had become such that he could isolate himself from the whole world and did not know how to change now. This is evidenced by his desire to seem good, which is limited only to unfamiliar people. Relatives know what kind of person he is, which often saddens Homelander.
- Erin Moriarty had to dye her straw-colored hair pure blonde for the role. Considering that it took Erin a long time to get a real sun shine on her hair, she did not want to lose this privilege, and at first it was even about wigs. But the director was categorical, especially since the wig would often fall off in complex tricks.
- Among the directors of the TV show is Philip Sgriccia, who has been working on the “Supernatural” project for several years. As the TV series drew to a close, Philip was on the lookout for a new massive project. So his eyes settled on “The Boys”, as Sgriccia prefers science fiction.
