There are a few theories circulating regarding Soldier Boy’s return in The Boys season 5 and some make more sense than others. The legendary supe Soldier Boy is a fan favorite in Eric Kripke’s critically acclaimed Amazon Prime Video TV show. Ever since debuting in The Boys season 3, Soldier Boy demonstrated everything that made The Boys unique – he was the perfect satirical response to heroes like Captain America. Jensen Ackles’ gruff bravado was perfect for Soldier Boy, and his long-term working relationship with showrunner Kripke led to perfect synergy between the show’s script and Ackles’ performance.
