Urban now addresses this intriguing The Boys Season 3 twist, implying that Butcher's new abilities may have huge ramifications.

In an interview with The Guardian, Urban admits that the addition of Butcher's abilities sparked a variety of talks about the unpleasant reality he would face as a result.

“I had a lot of discussions about what having powers might be like, and I was like: ‘Well, it’s gonna hurt, right?’ It comes back to the question: what is the cost of power? The cost is that it actually causes an extreme amount of pain. [...]”

Urban also teases that Butcher's new adoptive parent role may be strained by these new skills, hinting at a potentially difficult season ahead for his character.
