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 The Boys, the hit superhero series by Eric Kripke.
And yes, he’s doing it for the final season, bringing chaos, humor, and nostalgia for fans. The Boys continues to 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.
