Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers. Proceed with caution if you have not watched the show/movie.

Ever since Season 2 of the Superhero action series The Boys wrapped up, viewers can’t wait to know the release date of The Boys Season 3. The good news is that the filming for the third season and a spin-off series is underway.

The series makers have not yet confirmed the release date for the third season. However, whenever it will release, it will arrive on Amazon Prime Video. The streaming giant has already provided its first visuals teaser for The Boys Season 3 featuring Jensen Ackles in the costume as Soldier Boy.

Who are in the cast of The Boys Season 3?

No doubt Jensen Ackles is the biggest addition to the casting list of The Boys 3. Erik Kripke said "As Soldier Boy, the very first superhero, he'll bring so much humor, pathos, and danger to the role. I can't wait to be on set with him again, and bring a bit of Supernatural to The Boys."

"Jensen Ackles put in the picture that he is taking on the role of Soldier Boy, who fought in World War II and became "the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades," he added.

Recently, the official Twitter of the series posted two pictures of Jensen Ackles with the costume of Soldier Boy. The post’s caption reads, “He's the f'n Captain now, America. #SoldierBoy.”

Amazon's hit The Boys Season 3 would be darker than previous seasons. In a recent interview with Collider, 'The Boys' star Laz Alonso opined that the inclusion of Jensen Ackles to the cast hints at the fact that Season 3 could be darker than ever.

According to Alonso, Jensen Ackles's character has allowed the showrunner to "not only bring in a character historically who's pretty dark, but it also makes all of the other ensemble Supes darker as well."

In addition, Blood & Treasure star Katia Winter has joined Amazon's The Boys Season 3 cast. She will be playing an infamous character called 'Little Nina' from the comic books. Little Nina is a Russian gang leader who is fond of sex toys. This is the first time the iconic comic book character will be portrayed on screen.
