In the minds of many fans of The Boys, the one sheet is a sign that Billy is going to get his own powers.
Every member of The Boys gained powers when they took a single dose of Compound V in the graphic novel series. Billy's eyes are glowing yellow and he is about to get Supe-d on the Prime Video show.
The Boys' fans have been whipped up into a frenzy by the poster.
The Boys: Diabolical, an animated anthology spin-off Prime Video series, was released on March 4.
The one sheet was released on various Prime Video social media channels on Thursday, March 10. Billy and Homelander are two sides of the same coin, so this piece of promotional material could be a way of showing this.
Billy and company's use of Compound V isn't confirmed, so this new poster could be Prime Video's way of whipping up fan discussions about what it means for season 3. Billy's use of Compound V has a huge impact on The Boys' universe in the comics. Billy is going to take Compound V in order to rid the world of Supes. The ability to shoot lazers from his eyes was one of the powers Homelander was given as a child.
It's a far cry from Homelander's abilities, but it gives him a fighting chance in battle. Homelander is one of the Vought International-manufactured'superheroes' and has glowing eyes. A new poster for The Boys season 3 teases that there will be another major storyline from the comics. He could become a villain just like his opponent in Homelander because of his glowing eyes in the poster. Fans of the show who haven't read the comics would be shocked by that.
The Boys season 3 poster tells us about the upcoming season, which will be on Prime Video this summer. We had an in-depth chat with Simon Racioppa about the show's development and ties to season 3.
Vought creates its Supes by injecting test subjects with Compound V, a serum that grants powers to whoever comes into contact with it. We don't have long to wait as The Boys' third season arrives in June. The plot details are sure to be used in future seasons, so we won't reveal them here.
Billy would benefit from a huge dose of Compound V. The poster could be a marketing mistake on the part of Eric Kripke.
