Although Amazon Prime Video<\/strong>\u2019s The Boys<\/strong> <\/em>is closer to reaching the conclusion of its sophomore season\u2019s run, the show has already been renewed for a third season. While Supernatural<\/em><\/strong> star Jensen Ackles<\/strong> was officially confirmed to join the cast as new superhero Soldier Boy<\/strong>, it seems that Ackles\u2019 Soldier Boy won\u2019t be the only new superhero set to make their debut in the show\u2019s third season.

In a report<\/a> from The Illuminerdi<\/strong><\/em> that unveils new details on the role Ackles\u2019 Soldier Boy will play in the show\u2019s upcoming third season, it has also been revealed that a new superhero will be introduced to fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report kicks off with revealing details that demonstrates Jensen Ackles\u2019 Soldier Boy will be undergoing some significant changes from his original comic counterpart. Originally created by Garth Ennis<\/strong> and Darick Robertson<\/strong>, Soldier Boy has never been a singular character since the mantle has been passed from one hero to another in the comics. Soldier Boy was originally part of a World War II era team, the Avenging Squad<\/strong>, but ultimately met his demise which led to the mantle being passed over the decades. In stark comparison, The Boys<\/em> will adopt Soldier Boy as Vought<\/strong>\u2019s first ever superhero and the mantle\u2019s history will only have one character, portrayed by Ackles. In addition, Ackles\u2019 character will reportedly survive the World War II portion of his origin story and go on to become an international icon (similar to how Captain America<\/strong>\u2019s story played out in Captain America: The First Avenger<\/em><\/strong>). Another intriguing detail unveiled was that, reportedly, Vought will say Ackles\u2019 Soldier Boy met his demise during a mission, but the truth of Soldier Boy still being alive will be a lingering plot thread for Karl Urban\u2019s<\/strong> Butch<\/strong> and the rest of the gang though out the new season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
