Soldier Boy is one of the new Supes coming joining the show The Boys in its third season.
Drawing again from the comic, Soldier Boy is basically the Captain America of The Boys universe. Don’t let Homelander’s patriotic costume fool you. Soldier Boy was the original superhero, fighting in World War 2, also becoming the first super celebrity in America. Why, he even carries a Shield…
Supernatural‘s Jensen Ackles is playing the character, as the show is now filming in Toronto.

Below are two first looks of Soldier Boy’s costume from the set of The Boys Season 3. Note that Ackles is not in the pictures, but rather his stand in, as he is still in quarantine.

As you can see, it looks like filming has completed on Dawn of the Seven, and Soldier Boy is making his entrance on the red carpet. I really wonder how he and Homelander get along…
I’ve never read the comic, but I would assume Soldier Boy has some issues with the fact Homelander eventually stole his spotlight. And though I’m sure he has his own issues like all the supes, I assume with his origins he is anti-facist/nazi. Seeing as how Homelander’s last girlfriend was a literal Nazi, it should be fun to see the two interact!
