This marks the first time all three lead actors from Supernatural have reunited since that show ended in 2020. Jensen Ackles had already been cast as Soldier Boy in season 4. Now, his former co-stars are joining him. The announcement sent shockwaves through both fanbases instantly.
“The final season of The Boys will feature a team-up that will warm the heart of many viewers.”
The three actors share massive history together. Padalecki played Sam Winchester for 15 seasons. Collins played the beloved angel Castiel. Their chemistry on Supernatural was legendary.
Why This Matters for The Show
Season 5 is The Boys’ final chapter. The stakes have never been higher. Homelander (played by Antony Starr) is rising to power. Butcher (Karl Urban) has gone rogue with a Supe virus. The remaining Boys must make impossible choices.
Adding Padalecki and Collins signals major plot development for the finale. Their roles haven’t been revealed yet. Details are being kept under wraps. But Kripke confirmed all three will share scenes together. This suggests a significant storyline playing out.
For fans of Supernatural, this is pure gold. The interconnection between both shows runs deep. Kripke created both series. Other Supernatural actors have previously appeared on The Boys. Now we’re getting the ultimate payoff.
