Every Supernatural Actor In The Boys
Supernatural and The Boys share a creator in the form of Eric Kripke, but the two popular shows also share several of the same actors.
With Homelander (Antony Starr) finding Soldier Boy in cryosleep during season 4’s post-credits scene,Soldier Boy is set to have a major part to play in season 5. Both Soldier Boy and Padalecki’s character could be members ofHomelander’s army of supes. They may have to work together to hunt down Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), Starlight (Erin Moriarty), and other enemies of Homelander, which could provide a reason for the twoSupernaturalactors to share the screen together throughout the season.
Our Take On Jared Padalecki Being In The Boys Season 5
His Casting Makes The Boys Season 5 Even More Enticing
While Kripke previously indicated that Padalecki would likely be inThe Boysseason 5,it is satisfying to have the news confirmed by the actor himself. A Padalecki and Ackles reunion seems all but guaranteed. It would be even better if Padalecki also got to reunite with otherSupernaturalactors. This will be more challenging with Morgan, as his character can only be seen by Butcher, but the bold and creative series has the potential to make it work. At the very least, it is thrilling to know that Padalecki will definitely be inThe Boys' last season.
The Boys
Cast
