Vought’s minions aren’t the only people in Homelander’s corner, though, as Season 4’s finale features him discovering that his “father,” Soldier Boy, is still alive after seemingly blowing up in Season 3. It’s unclear what the villain’s plans are for his dear old dad, but they aren’t going to be good. At least there’s one aspect of Soldier Boy’s story in the final season that doesn’t seem so bad.
Eric Kripke, the creator of The Boys, is also responsible for another notable TV show, Supernatural. He thought Dean Winchester actor Jensen Ackles would be a good fit for his superhero satire show, and he didn’t stop there. Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki will be making their The Boys debuts in Season 5 and share scenes with Ackles.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ackles talked about how the Supernatural reunion came together, giving all the credit to Kripke. He also discussed a “concern” that the production had about what was going to happen when all three actors got in front of the cameras.
“It was funny because there was a little concern that we’re going to get Jared, Misha, and Jensen together and it’s going to be a little wacky,” Ackles said. “Because 15 years together, we got a little off. There’s a lot of history, but it was also a house that we built, and we were able to destroy it the way we wanted to.”
Ackles also poked fun at Padalecki, saying that he had to remind his former TV brother about proper etiquette on set.
“You gotta behave. Jared, you’ve gotta flush the toilet. You’ve gotta flush the toilet here,” he joked. “No, but it was a really good time. I can’t wait to be able to say more.”
Like most superhero projects, The Boys likes to keep things close to the vest, so there’s no way to know how many scenes the Supernatural actors will share until the show comes out. Fortunately, The Boys doesn’t have to be the end of the fun because Soldier Boy is getting a spinoff.
