    Jensen Ackles will finally get the chance to play Captain America. Or, at least, to the version of ‘TheBoys‘ from Captain America.

    The actor of ‘Supernatural‘ has always been in rumors and pools when Marvel was looking for an interpreter to embody the hero Steve Rogers, and many fans assumed that he had even auditioned to become the MCU Cap before the role went to Chris Evans.

    Nevertheless, Ackles has claimed that while he may have been in contention for the role for one season, he never auditioned for Marvel.

    Did I audition for Captain America? No, I did not do it“Ackles says during an interview for ew during the promotional tour for the third season of ‘The Boys’. “I don’t know, did they hold auditions? I think they just met with people“.

    Ackles clarifies that, however, “I was not available. So I don’t think they fit into my schedule. Doesn’t seem like the kind of studio that would do that.he continues. “I would have loved to have been involved in that because Chris [Evans] and I used to clash for quite some time on many different things in the past. But unfortunately, I didn’t fight with him about this“.

    Ackles will remove the thorn the thorn embodying the “crappy” version of Captain America in the brutal parody ‘The Boys’which will begin its third season in June on Amazon Prime Video.

    “It’s like Captain America giving up heroism and being just your inappropriate, drunken uncle.”

    In the universe of ‘The Boys’, where heroes are not born but “made” By injecting a serum, Compound V, into several babies purchased from needy families, the Vought corporation used Soldier Boy as their national defense group’s first superhero.

    Soldier Boy led Payback, Vought’s first superhero group to be active during World War II.. Like Captain America, Soldier Boy is currently seen as displaced in time, in a time that he no longer belongs to.

    According to Ackles, “He’s old school. He’s from an era that’s being almost forgotten, it’s been a while. It was World War II era. He partyed with Hefner at the Playboy mansion. This was just a different kind of character. And he certainly represents, I think, a lot of that toxic masculinity that’s so deeply ingrained in so much of what our society feels like.”
