If you haven’t seen the over-the-top insane trailer debut for “The Boys”, based on the ultraviolent comics by Garth Ennis (“Preacher”) and Darick Robertson, do so immediately. Directed by 10 Cloverfield Lane’s Dan Trachtenberg, the series looks at the dark side of being a hero and those who keep them in check. You know, The Boys.
Here are another handful of new images from the series that’s set in a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame. The boys are a group of vigilantes who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.
There are potential spoilers here, although they don’t mean much out of context – they’re mostly character shots from the first several episodes.
Elisabeth Shue, Karl Urban, Jennifer Esposito, Jack Quaid, Colby Minifie, Jess Salgueiro, Brittany Allen and Bruce Novakowski are among the stars of the Amazon series.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the duo behind AMC’s “Preacher,” are bringing the comic series to the small screen July 26, 2019.
