Jensen Ackles is going to be the king of Prime Video and I am so for it

Given his long list of upcoming TV shows, Jensen Ackles is starting to become the king of Prime Video, and I’m not complaining because almost everything he’s in is worth watching. Although Jensen Ackles has been active as an actor since 1996, he didn’t have mainstream success until he appeared as one of the two leads in the WB series SupernaturalIn recent years, he has received more recognition for his voice acting and portrayal of superhero characters on the small screen, with his best known role being in Prime Video’s The boys.

Although he only appeared in one season of The boysJensen Ackles made every Soldier Boy scene and dialogue unforgettable with his brilliant screen presence and comedic timing. For this reason, I, like many viewers, was disappointed when The boys Season 4 did not mark his return. Fortunately, despite his absence in the fourth installment of the hit superhero satire, he will soon be seen in more than one Prime Video show.

Jensen Ackles’ dominance on Prime Video is great after the disappointment of Soldier Boy

The streamer makes up for his absence in season 4 of The Boys

After making Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy one of its main selling points, Prime Video disappointed me by giving him only a cameo in Generation V and not to see him until The boys the final moments of the fourth season. However, I am glad that the streamer is finally making up for Jensen Ackles’ absence The boys Season 4, not only marking his return in the fifth season of the series, but also giving him his own The boys spin-off and a standalone series. While only time will tell how these upcoming shows will fare, it’s hard not to expect Vought rises be as good as The boys (if not better).

Jensen Ackles’ established history of playing diverse roles in several other mystery thrillers, such as My damn Valentine’s Day And Dark Angell, also increases the anticipation of countdownIn retrospect, I can see how Absence of Soldier Boy from The boys Season 4 was the perfect start to Ackles’ dominance on Prime Video. It may not have been an intentional strategic move on the streamer’s part, but it still creates a lot of excitement about his future projects.
