The full official trailer for The Boys season 2 is a dense three minutes of action and exposition. You know you’ve got a good one when there’s time for a song change. Check out The Boys season 2 trailer below.
Holy exploding whale, Batman, where even to begin? Suppose the exploding whale is as good a place as any. The Deep ended last season in exile in Sandusky, Ohio (a very appropriate place for an corny aquatic superhero to be exiled to). Looks like he’s almost got his life back together for season 2 before Butcher and the Boys take a motor boat to his hopes and dreams.
Elsewhere, the trailer makes the Boys’ goals this season crystal clear. Butcher now knows that his wife is alive and being kept in a domestic prison by Vought. Not only that but Butcher and the boys are now “the most wanted lads in the country.” Excellent restraint on not overusing “the boys,” Butch.
But really, the star of this trailer (and hopefully all our lives for many years to come) is Aya Cash. Fresh off a remarkable five year stint on You’re the Worst, Cash is now embodying the villainous Stormfront in The Boys season 2. Per this trailer, Stormfront is the latest member of the Seven and quickly becomes America’s sweetheart. Part of that can naturally be attributed to Cash’s charms. (“Now don’t be a pussy and laser my fucking tits”) but of course the other, more insidious, part is Stormfront’s exploitations of America’s fears.
