Ackles plays Soldier Boy in Season 3 of Prime Video's The Boys, which introduces his character as a dark version of Chris Evans' Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. In the Marvel films, Cap is virtuous with impeccable morals, whereas Soldier Boy finds solace in violence and bad behavior.
"Chris and I should probably talk about doing some sort of face-off or crossover," Ackles told Yahoo! when asked if he hopes to hear from Evans about the new character.
However, Ackles quickly backtracked, saying, "No, he's got magic powers! And his shield can return to him; my shield is just a blunt object. He wins."
New episodes of The Boys are released every Friday on Prime Video through July 22.
