What Will Soldier Boy Do in 'The Boys' Final Season? Jensen Ackles Returns!
Expect chaos, dark humor, and shocking moments fans won’t forget.
Jensen Ackles, the crush of 14-year-old me and the hunter of supernatural things, is back — but not as Dean Winchester. This time, he’s taking on the green-and-gold suit of Soldier Boy in Vought Rising, the 1950s-set prequel to The Boys from Eric Kripke. The Boys, the hit superhero series by Eric Kripke.
And yes, he’s doing it for the new series, bringing chaos, dark humour, and a heavy dose of vintage pulp for fans. Vought Rising blends superhero satire with a twisted murder mystery, showing the early days of Vought International and Soldier Boy’s role at the centre of it all. Mix action, dark comedy, and moral twists, and Soldier Boy’s return is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about moments of the season.
"He’s back… and you better hide your great-grandmothers" — Soldier Boy’s Legendary Comeback
Ackles announced Soldier Boy’s return with the cheeky Instagram caption: "He’s back… and you better hide your great-grandmothers."
The joke works on multiple levels. Soldier Boy is technically from the 1950s, so even though he looks young thanks to superpowers, today’s grandmothers are basically his contemporaries. Let’s just say his taste in women is… vintage, and that makes the warning hilariously ominous.
Vought Rising — Coming After The Boys Final Season
The prequel is set in 1950s New York, following Soldier Boy and a line-up of new patriotic supes — Private Angel, Bombsight, and Torpedo — as they navigate fame, politics, and a murder mystery that could change the course of Vought forever. Aya Cash also returns as a younger Clara Vought, decades before she became Stormfront.
Soldier Boy in Vought Rising — Quick Backstory
Soldier Boy first appeared in The Boys Season 3 (2022) as Homelander’s father, a Cold War-era hero with a morally murky past.
He later had a cameo in Gen V. Now, we’ll finally see him in his prime — confident, unpredictable, and just as dangerous — in a story that rewinds to where the Vought empire began.
