The official Twitter account for The Boys has released another in-universe video clip, this time of Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy performing Blondie's song Rapture. Ackles, who joined Amazon's hit show for the third season, plays a parody of Marvel's Captain America. Dubbed the"Homelander before Homelander," his character is a World War II-era supe who later went on to lead the superhero team known as Payback.
Formed in 1974, Blondie is an American new wave rock band co-founded by vocalist Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. Their 1981 single Rapture first appeared on the band's fifth studio album, Autoamerican. Featuring elements of new wave, disco, and hip hop, it was the first number 1 single in the US charts to feature rap vocals. The single's accompanying music video would also go on to become the first rap song to ever be broadcast on MTV.
Found this one on our VCRs... Solid Gold, with special guest #SoldierBoy. Find more good stuff like this on Prime Video X-ray. pic.twitter.com/RrTRxUi4xG Holy sh*t!! Epic @TheBoysTV https://t.co/1dpvKLppD6 A supe-r co-sign, we're honored. Do think the band was a lot better after he left though. pic.twitter.com/yPwjGYt8SyThis is not the first time that The Boys social media antics have caught the attention of the various celebrities they reference.
As for Ackles' Soldier Boy, the question fans will want to know is whether his character will have the ability to challenge Homelander. While his past performances on shows like Solid Gold make for amusing glimpses into his former world as a Vought-controlled supe, now it seems clear that he poses a threat perhaps even more dangerous than anything Butcher and his friends have faced before.
