Season 3 of The Boys ended with a bang last week, and it left us all asking the same question—is this the last we’ve seen of Soldier Boy? The fan-favorite character portrayed by Jensen Ackles could return in Season 4, and the actor said he would “come running” to play him.

Even before his Soldier Boy became a true sensation, the Supernatural star said he’s open to returning as Soldier Boy, even though he still hasn’t spoken to anyone about reprising the role.

“I know Kripke is very smart about how he sends his characters off because he can always bring them back. So I know there are plans in talks, but I don’t know exactly what those are. But I told Krip, ‘Look, man, put me in anytime. You tell me when to come running, I’ll come running,'” Ackles told EW back in May.

Now that Season 3 of The Boys wrapped up, it’s pretty clear that the series left the door open for his return. Showrunner Eric Kripke told EW that he’s “100 percent” sure Soldier Boy could be back and that he “can’t imagine the series ending without Soldier Boy making another appearance.”

The Boys has been renewed for the fourth season back in June, and the production is set to kick off this August.
