We’re gradually getting closer to the Season 3 premiere of The Boys, Prime Video’s violent and action-packed take on the tropes of superhero storytelling. The new batch of episodes are expected to weave in a number of comic-accurate elements, including the arrival of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), a Captain America-esque superhero with a key role in the universe’s lore. In honor of Thursday’s National Superhero Day, the show’s official Vought International Twitter account took to social media to share a throwback photo of Ackles as Soldier Boy, and to reveal that he might have a key role with the creation of National Superhero Day.
In 1945, an executive order was drafted to establish April 28 as #SoldierBoyDay, honoring his heroic efforts in World War II. But he humbly changed it to #NationalSuperheroDay instead, making it a day ALL heroes are celebrated. Retweet to honor the original! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/n5gK4W0ZQ2
