There's a lot to look forward to in the upcoming season of The Boys. According to Laz Alonso, viewers will be getting more character development from Mother's Milk.

Between the new characters who will be introduced into The Boys, like Soldier Boy, the latest development that our heroes will take Compound V to combat the supes, and everyone's favorite evil Superman Homelander growing less stable by the minute, the series has a lot to offer when it returns. Now, Alonso says that the Amazon Primehit show will touch up more on Mother's Milk's backstory for The Boys season 3.

In a recent interview with Geekset Podcast, Alonso said The Boys show creator Eric Kripke gave him the freedom to give his own interpretation of his character's backstory instead of reciting lines word for word from the script. By doing this, Alonso believes his interpretation will make it sound more authentically like a Black man in his own character's situation. «Eric Kripke has given me the trust to be able to re-write some of my Mother's Milk dialogue in scenes so that it is as authentic as possible,» Alonso said. «Especially when Mother's Milk has monologues… (In) Season 1 and Season 2, there's at least one episode where Mother's Milk has a really long monologue. Season 3 is going to have that as well. Now that Season 3 is getting deeper into the Mother's Milk backstory, we're going to find out a lot of things about him. (Kripke) allows me that license to translate what they want to say but in a way that when (the black) community watches it, they'll believe it.»

Alonso later went on to say that a fair amount of the time, after reading the script, he would pitch changes to Kripke
