Earlier today, Amazon released a trailer for its upcoming superhero series, The Boys starring Karl Urban which promises a lot of violent action.
The trailer in question runs for about two and a half minutes. The trailer gives us an idea as to what we will expect from the upcoming Amazon show. In it, Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher recruits a number of people who have been wronged by a team of the world’s so-called greatest superheroes to apparently get some kind of vengeance upon them. The trailer itself shows a lot of violence, blood, and banter between the various characters.
You can see the full trailer for Karl Urban’s new Amazon show, The Boys, below:

From the look of things, the people behind The Boys want to create a bloody but goofy deconstruction of the superhero genre!
What do you all make of this trailer? Are you excited to see something like The Boys take a crack at superheroes? Should Karl Urban have stayed as Judge Dredd? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
The Boys hails from Supernatural executive producer Eric Kripke and is based on the comic series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Amazon has given a straight-to-series order for a total of eight episodes. Preacher producers Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen are both set to direct.
Here is plot synopsis for The Boys:
When superheroes abuse their superpowers instead of using them for good, The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought, the conglomerate that covers up their dirty secrets.
The Boys is set to premiere on Amazon on July 26th.
