Last week's episode of Gen V concluded with a teaser for this Friday's instalment, "Jumanji," and it featured a quick glimpse of Jensen Ackles as Solider Boy.

Now, Prime Video has confirmed that the misanthropic super-soldier will indeed be back in action in the sixth episode of the streamer's The Boys spin-off with a new promo.

In the season 3 finale of The Boys, Soldier Boy was finally defeated by the combined efforts of multiple characters after Queen Maeve charged him through a window before he could go supernova. He survived, but was put back on ice by Vought.

We know Gen V takes place shortly after these events (we see the students visit the ruins of Vought Tower in the series premiere), but that doesn't necessarily mean Soldier Boy has been thawed out.

There's been some strange goings-on in Godolkin University, with the students experiencing memory lapses (thanks, Kate) and hallucinations, so we'd say Soldier Boy is most likely to appear in either a flashback, or as part of one of these Supe-induced apparitions.

Then again, maybe the horrible SOB really is back on his feet - you'll have to tune in this Friday to find out for sure.

Gen V is partially based on the "We Gotta Go Now" story arc from The Boys comic series, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson. The show takes place between the events of The Boys season 3 and 4, and Jessie T. Usher and Chase Crawford are also expected to reprise their respective roles as A-Train and The Deep, along with cast mates Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and PJ Byrne.

In Gen V, the students at Godolkin will be "put their physical and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s highly coveted top ranking. They quickly come to learn that ambition comes with sacrifice, and the difference between right and wrong is not as clear as they once believed. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.”

Gen V also stars Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas and Marco Pigossi. The series guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, while Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne will reprise their roles from The Boys.

Soldier Boy is one of the best characters on The Boys. Such a breath of fresh air and the anti Captain America persona is really neat.

Still not quite sure if I am going to choose to spend my time watching this show. It just doesn’t seem to have anything interesting going on.

Being on Invincible S2!

Gen V doesn't hold up to any The Boys comparisons, but it's definitely watchable. I'm finding it gets a little better each ep.

Terrible that a parody of super heroes is turning out to be the best super hero universe in live action. Thanks to the outstanding performance by everyone favorite super powered maniac...

@Forthas - It has it's moments but more recently it's got too many draw backs. It's more enjoyable when you skip the stuff with Hughie, Starlight, mother's Milk and his cuck subplot. Butcher got less interesting after the first season. The frog and his mute seem to run out of plot at this point. Deep, Homelander, A-Train and Soldier boy are the only reason's why I'm still sticking around.

I’m personally enjoying Gen V and don’t really understand the hate it gets.

With that said; I’ll only be excited about Soldier Boy’s return if it’s not a flashback but he’s out of cryo.

I'm surprised how much I like this show, wasn't expecting much when it was first announced to be honest. Super excited to see how it will conclude.
