We know that you’ve been imagining this whole brutal, no-holds-barred superhero showdown in season 5 of The Boys. Hoping for your favorite hero (or in this case anti-hero) to get their big moment. But then, imagine a trio of legends swooping in, stealing the thunder like Homelander crashing a press conference. That’s exactly how some fans might feel, now that Supernatural icons are returning in the final season of The Boys.
After wrapping up season 4 of The Boys, showrunner Eric Kripke hinted at a reunion between Jensen Ackles and his former Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki. But now it seems, not just them, even Misha Collins is reuniting in Season 5, marking a dream-come-true moment for longtime Kripke-verse followers. However, fans can’t help but sympathize with the OG cast of The Boys, who have fought (literally and figuratively) to carve out their own spotlight, only for the trio to steal it.
Supernatural trio will join the OG cast of The Boys in the upcoming season 5
Alright, The Boys fans, take a deep breath because things are about to get intense because Eric Kripke is staying true to his words. Previously, after the completion of season 4, the showrunner had indicated that Jensen Ackles would reunite with his former Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki in the upcoming fifth and final season of The Boys.
And now, guess what? With the Kripke-verse expanding, The Boys season 5 is set to bring back Supernatural legends Jensen Ackles (Soldier Boy), Jared Padalecki, as well as Misha Collins. That’s right, Sam, Dean, and Castiel are reuniting! Only this time, instead of hunting ghosts, demons, and Lucifer (again), they’re stepping into the supe-infested chaos of The Boys.
This announcement went viral after Eric Kripke shared a video on his X account featuring Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins, alongside the iconic The Boys logo drop. Following this news, Supernatural fans got hyped, considering how this will mark the ultimate reunion. But for The Boys fans? Well, some are a little nervous.
Fans sympathize with The Boys stars, amid this brutal spotlight-stealing moment
Imagine you’ve been fighting your way through the supe-infested streets of The Boys—dodging the possibility of getting your heads exploded by Victoria Neuman, and navigating the absolute mess. And then, just when you’re about to have your big moment, the Supernatural’s holy trinity appears in the show, ready to steal the spotlight.
That’s exactly what some fans are scared of. While the Supernatural reunion is exciting, it’s hard not to sympathize with the OG cast of The Boys, who have worked their butts off to make this show a hit. Karl Urban’s Butcher, Antony Starr’s Homelander, Erin Moriarty’s Starlight, and the rest of The Seven, who have built this insane world from the ground up.
Fans are worried about how things might end up for the real cast of The Boys, who will have to share the spotlight with three beloved and well-established TV icons. Meanwhile, all we can say is that Eric Kripke must know exactly what he’s doing. Perhaps the Supernatural trio will just have small but memorable roles, and the focus will stay on The Boys.
May what comes, one thing’s for sure—The Boys Season 5 is going to be absolute chaos. Honestly, would we expect anything less?
The Boys and Supernatural are both available on Prime Video.
