THE BOYS: See Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy

Amazon Prime Video released the first look of Jensen Ackles in the Soldier Boy suit, which debuts in THE BOYS’ upcoming third season.

“Soldier Boy is the original bad ass,” designer Laura Jean Shannon said in a statement. (Greg Hopwood was the concept artist.) “Our goal was to highlight a bygone era of overt masculinity and grit. With that pedigree we dove headfirst into baking in an all-American quality grounded in a military soldier’s practicality with a heavy dose of old school cowboy swagger. We knew that the actor had to have Steve McQueen looks and chops with a John Wayne attitude, luckily Jensen Ackles embodies all of that.”

“When I cast Jensen as Soldier Boy, the first thing I said was, ‘I’m most excited for you, because of the amazing process you’ll go through with LJ, our Super Suit designer,’” THE BOYS showrunner (and SUPERNATURAL creator) Eric Kripke added. “It took six months but the experience surpassed Jensen’s expectations. LJ has made a work of art that tips its hat to the WWII Soldier Boy from the comics, while taking it in a sleek new direction. And if you think the photos are cool, just wait till you see Jensen in action. It’s one of my very favorite suits. Also, now you can quit clogging my Twitter notifications with demands to see it.”
