Showrunner Kripke recently tweeted posters of an in-show feature film called Dawn of the Seven. According to the Collider, “Filming for the movie was a key storyline in The Boys season 2, with a conflict between Homelander (Antony Starr) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty) brewing in between takes. The fact that these movie posters will be featured in Season 3 teases the possibility that the Dawn of the Seven premiere will likely figure into the new story.”
The Boys stars Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, and Erin Moriarty in lead roles. The first two seasons are available on Amazon Prime Video.
