Jensen Ackles knows who else was considered to play Soldier Boy in TheBoys season 3 – but don't expect him to spill the beans. 'Oh, no [I can't tell you who]. Those are movie stars. I'd get us both blacklisted.'
With his close relationship with the show's creator, Jensen Ackles knows of the other names considered to play Soldier Boy for The Boys season 3. Though having appeared in everything from Smallville to Dark Angel, Ackles rose to stardom with his lead role in The CW horror-fantasy series Supernatural, having starred in the long-running show as Dean Winchester, one of the two brothers traveling across the country hunting down monsters.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Ackles joined an already star-studded cast with The Boys season 3 that also includes Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara and Nathan Mitchell.
"Usually you're going through casting directors and network studio execs, and all that stuff. But I had a direct line to the showrunner [Eric Kripke]. I do know that there were some names that I think the network was considering. There was a short list of names. And when [Kripke] read off a few of those names to me, I was like, 'Oh, well, there's no way. I don't have a shot at this.' Oh, no [I can't tell you who]. Those are movie stars.
Given Kripke and Ackles' prior relationship working on Supernatural, it may not come as much of a surprise that the show's creator kept his former star and friend in mind for Soldier Boy during the development of bringing the character to The Boys.
Though some may still be curious to learn who else was considered for Soldier Boy, Ackles being cast in the role for The Boys season 3 proved to be a welcome addition for fans of the series and star. The former Supernatural star scored rave reviews for his performance as Soldier Boy and with the season 3 finale setting up a bigger confrontation between him and Homelander heading into season 4, anticipation is high for both his and the show's return.
