After Soldier Boy fought in World War II, he became the first super celebrity and a mainstay of American culture for decades. Showrunner and executive producer Eric Kripke says, “When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream – to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I’m happy to say that dream has come true.”

He adds, “Jensen is an amazing actor, an even better person, smells like warm chocolate chip cookies, and I consider him my brother. As Soldier Boy, the very first superhero, he’ll bring so much humour, pathos and danger to the role. I can’t wait to be on the sets with him again, and bring a bit of supernatural to The Boys.”
