But who is this? Someone else is hunting the Supes with a cork board of targets and Soldier Boy is on it listed as MISSING.
Jensen Ackles called his Soldier Boy character a “jackass” in January when he spoke to Michael Rosenbaum on the Inside of You podcast.
He’s a grandpa. He’s from the ’40s. He fought in World War II, and he’s just this curmudgeon, bigoted a–hole. He doesn’t age, so he’s this 40-year-old superhero who’s really 80 years old or 90 years old. There’s just so much material there.. — Jensen Ackles describing his character.
[The Boys] find me and I’ve been essentially in captivity for a while. And so, when they do, I’m bearded and I look like [I’m from the movie] Cast Away, but then they clean me up and I get my superhero outfit back on and I go to town. — Jensen Ackles.
Filming in Toronto:
Jensen Ackles arrived with a bushy beard in Toronto to quarantine five or six weeks into production of season 3 last year and started filming April 19th.
