We recently discovered that the third season of The Boys will debut next June 3 on Amazon Prime Video , and two new photos are leaking on the net about it.
The first portrays Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy , the first superhero ever created by Vought . He led a supergroup called Payback ( Avengers parody ) in World War II, and he himself is a Captain America parody . We do not know what his role will be in the series, nor if he will also appear in the present. It seems likely so.
The second photo instead shows Karl Urban ( Billy Butcher ) and Jack Quaid ( Little Hughie ) sitting on the trunk of a car: it was shared by the latter to remind us of the release date of the third season.
You will find the images below.

The synopsis of the series
Hughie (Jack Quaid, The Hunger Games) suffers a devastating loss at the hands of the reckless A-Train. His suffering turns to anger when he discovers that there is no legal recourse for those who suffer harm from superheroes. While trying to recover, Hughie meets a mysterious agent, Billy Butcher (Karl Urban, Star Trek), who recruits him to join him in the search for a justice that regulates the behavior of Superheroes, who are not what they seem.
THE BOYS is a series that shows what happens when superheroes – who are famous as celebrities, influential as politicians and revered as gods – abuse their powers. At the center of the episodes is the struggle between lack and excess of power: The Boys embark on a heroic quest to unmask the reality concerning the Seven and the Vought, the billionaire conglomerate that manages the Seven themselves and their dirty secrets.
The Boys
The team consists of Billy Butcher ( Karl Urban ), the Frenchman ( Tomer Capon ), Breast Milk ( Laz Alonso ), the Female of the Species ( Karen Fukuhara ) and Little Hughie ( Jack Quaid ).
The Seven
Supergroup Seven Justice League spoof includes Patriot ( Antony Starr ), Abyss ( Chace Crawford ), Queen Maeve ( Dominique McElligott ), A-Train ( Jessie T. Usher ), Black Noir ( Nathan Mitchell ), Translucent ( Alex Hassell ) and Starlight ( Erin Moriarty ).
Other actors
Elisabeth Shue plays Madelyn Stillwell , while Simon Pegg is Little Hughie’s father: a sensible choice, given that Hughie’s face- in the comic – was modeled precisely on that of the English actor. Also starring Colby Minifie ( Ashley Barrett ), Goran Visnjic ( Alistair Adana ), Claudia Doumit ( Victoria Neuman ), Patton Oswalt , Aya Cash ( Stormfront ), Shawn Ashmore ( Lamplighter ), Jensen Ackles (Soldier Boy ), Katia Winter ( Little Nina ), Miles Gaston Villaneuva ( Supersonic ), Sean Patrick Flanery ( Gunpowder ), Nick Wechsler ( Blue Hawk ), Laurie Holden ( Contessa Crimisi ), Frances Turner ( Monique ), Kristin Booth and Jack Doolan ( Tess and Tommy , known as TNT Twins ).
