Soldier Boy suits up again.
Prime Video dropped a first look at the super suits of Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy, Elizabeth Posey’s Private Angel, Mason Dye’s Bombsight, and Will Hochman’s Torpedo for Vought Rising, the upcoming The Boys prequel series.
The prequel once again hails from The Boys creator and executive producer Eric Kripke and, along with Ackles, will feature the return of Aya Cash as Stormfront, who is notably MIA from the photos.
The series will concern a “twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy, and the diabolical maneuvers of a Supe known to fans as Stormfront, who was then going by the name Clara Vought,” per the press release.

Cash didn’t appear at the fan convention but issued a pre-recorded message for fans: “I am so excited about working with Jensen,” Cash said. “I think this thing is gonna be incredible. We’ve got everything from Judy Garland to Joe McCarthy. How? I don’t know, I didn’t write it. But I have read it, and it’s really really good.”
