The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke hasn’t been shy about adding cast members from his old hit show, Supernatural, into the mix as his satirical superhero series has lived on. Jim Beaver and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played allies Bobby Singer and John Winchester, have already had their turn on The Boys, and Supernatural star Jensen Ackles put any warm, cozy thoughts of monster hunter Dean Winchester in the rearview with his notable role as Homelander’s brutal dad, Soldier Boy.
Now, with the final season of The Boys on the horizon, Kripke has found an opportunity to complete the Supernatural set by getting the other two main stars of the beloved show on board. But if you thought Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins’s characters would be any nicer than Soldier Boy, think again.
“They show up in episode 5,” Kripke told EW. “What I love about what they’re doing is they’re just such douchebags. It’s great. I mean, Soldier Boy is no treat either, but they’re just really not morally upstanding dudes. It’s a blast to watch them play that. It was just so much fun.”
It looks like Ackles will get a decent amount of screentime with both Collins and Padalecki during the scene in episode five, which Ackles describes as “a messy one,” but it seems to have taken a while for the actor to come around to the idea of a reunion with the pair on The Boys.
“I was told that there was the possibility of it happening, and I was like, ‘I think it sounds awesome as long as it makes sense,’” Ackles explained. “I’m protective of the show. Even though I’m not an original cast member, I still want to, as a fan of the show, make sure that every second counts on screen. Kripke figured out a way to weave them in there and make it outrageous and make it something special. It propels the story, it propels the characters.”
Padalecki and Collins’s characters still remain a mystery on the run-up to the final season of The Boys, but Ackles certainly isn’t going anywhere after the mainline show ends, as he’s the star of its upcoming 1950s-set prequel series Vought Rising, where he will reprise the role of Homelander’s dad alongside his Nazi mom, Stormfront (Aya Cash.)
