The Boys Season 3 Episode 1 Title is an Avengers Reference
Eric Kripke, showrunner for The Boys tweeted out an image of the title page for the script for episode one of season three. The title of that episode is "Payback."
Just as The Seven are a thinly-disguised clone of DC Comics' Justice League, in the comics Payback is an analogue to The Avengers. Indeed the season two villain Stormfront (Aya Cash) is the Thor stand-in, and season two contained many background references to Soldier Boy, the Captain America doppelganger. We already reported in August that actor Jensen Ackles (an alum of Kripke's Supernatural) would play that character in season three.
According to the tweet, production is set to begin on The Boys 3 early next year.
