While this is the subversive superhero show, we would expect there to be more to the story than that.
“When I was a kid, I had a crazy, impossible dream – to get Jensen Ackles out of profitable employment. I’m happy to say that the dream came true,” says Kripke. “Jensen is a great actor, an even better person, smells like hot chocolate candy cookies, and I consider him a brother. As Soldier Boy, the fiercest Superhero, he will bring so much humor, pathos and danger to the role I Can’t wait to be with him again and bring a bit of Supernatural no The boys. ”
Ackles also announced the gig on his own Instagram feed, and you can find that video below.
