Amazon Prime Video on Tuesday released the long-awaited first-look of Jensen Ackles in the Soldier Boy super-suit for Season 3 of The Boys. The suit was designed by Laura Jean Shannon and concept artist Greg Hopwood. Says Shannon, “Our goal was to highlight a bygone era of overt masculinity and grit… 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.”

As Soldier Boy is a fan-favourite character from the original graphic novels, showrunner Eric Kripke knew the importance of the super-suit. He says, “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 Laura Jean Shannon.’ It took six months, but the experience surpassed Jensen’s expectations.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
