The Boys: Vought Releases Soldier Boy WWII "Found Footage" (VIDEO)

Well, that didn't take long. Shortly after we covered what Showrunner Eric Kripke had to share about the role that Jensen Ackles's Soldier Boy will play during the fifth and final season of The Boys (with prequel series Vought Rising also on the way), it would appear that Homelander (Antony Starr), Vought International, and the U.S. Government are already laying the groundwork to "repair" Soldier Boy's image.

Considering that Soldier Boy is going to have his sights set on him when he returns, we get the feeling that Butcher (Karl Urban) and the crew are going to get the blame for "brainwashing" Soldier Boy. After checking out the video above, take a second to look back on what we've seen so far…
