The Boys Season 4: Prepare for the Unexpected Character Comeback!

After his standout performance as Soldier Boy in The Boys season 3, Jensen Ackles suggested that his character may still have a future in the show, despite being a toxic yet deeply affected supe from Vought.

Although his hint was short, Ackles implied that there was a possibility of Soldier Boy's return, as the show had not yet confirmed the character's death after the events of The Boys season 3. However, the enigmatic hint did not provide any details on whether Ackles would come back to the show right away or at a later time.

Ackles revealed some intriguing details about Soldier Boy's fate during a conversation with Awards Radar. While unable to disclose specific information, he assured fans that Soldier Boy is indeed alive, much to their relief. As of now, the actor is bound by legal restrictions and cannot divulge any further details about his involvement in future seasons of The Boys. Therefore, it remains uncertain whether Soldier Boy's return will occur in the upcoming fourth season or in subsequent seasons. The Boys' showrunner, Eric Kripke, also teased Ackles' return as the corrupt version of Captain America, but remained tight-lipped about any specific plot developments.

In The Boys season 3, Soldier Boy was subdued by Grace Mallory following his neutralization by The Boys and Co. This action presents potential opportunities for him to become an adversary of The Boys themselves. Their betrayal in the season 3 finale, coupled with Billy Butcher's convincing argument that Homelander was not Soldier Boy's son but rather a replacement for Vought, provides ample reason for him to view them as his enemies.

Soldier Boy's character in The Boys was multifaceted. Initially portrayed as an antihero driven by empathy and seeking revenge against his former team for betraying him to the Russians, his likability dwindled when it was revealed that he had subjected them to continuous emotional and physical abuse. Despite this revelation, Soldier Boy displayed unwavering loyalty to The Boys, even going so far as to be willing to eliminate Homelander, despite the shocking revelation that he was his own flesh and blood. The betrayal inflicted upon him by The Boys, especially after he threatened to harm Ryan, carried significant emotional weight.

The return of Solider Boy remains uncertain, adding to the potential for an even more chaotic situation. The upcoming season of The Boys has hinted at Homelander facing trial for the public murder of a Starlight supporter. With Homelander already teetering on the brink, the introduction of Soldier Boy is sure to further escalate the mounting tension. Stream The Boys seasons 1-3 on Amazon Prime.
