Summary
The Boysseason 4 aired on Prime Video on Aug 17, 2025, and viewers think if Jared Padalecki signs on forThe Boysseason 5, showrunner Erik Kripke has to cast the last remainingSupernaturalactor for a cameo.The Boysfollows a team of rogue superheroes, The Seven, with celebrity status and the titular anti-hero team trying to end their corrupt ways. Season 3’s main villain was Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), who has not yet returned in season 4, even thoughKripke said the actor could returnsince his character did briefly appear in the spin-offGen V.
Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki played Dean and Sam Winchester onSupernatural, andJared Padalecki may cameo in season 5 of The Boys. However, there is still another actor fromSPNwho hasn’t yet been cast. SinceJared Padalecki’s showWalkerwas canceled after 4 seasons on The CW due to budget cuts, he has expressed interestin being onThe Boys. He called the cancelation ofWalkera “tough piece of news,” but seems eager to reunite with hisSPNco-stars, although audiences are still waiting for the missing man of theSPNtrio to make his cameo.
The Boys Season 5: Jared Padalecki Gives Encouraging Response To Potential Final Season Cameo
Jared Padalecki offers a very encouraging response to his chances of reuniting with Eric Kripke and appearing in a cameo in The Boys season 5.
The Boys Need To Cast Misha Collins If Jared Padalecki Joins The Team
Jared Padalecki may join The Boys, but currently, his character is unknown.
As the creator of both shows, Eric Kripke has made numerous cameos for hisSupernaturalactors onTheBoys. He castJeffrey Dean Morgan as Joe Kessler inThe Boysseason 4, and Jim Beaver as Robert Singer. Both actors played important roles onSPN; Jeffrey Dean Morgan played the father of the Winchesters, John Winchester, and Jim Beaver played supernatural hunter and mentor Bobby Singer. With these other cameos,if Jared Padalecki joinsThe Boys, it only makes sense that fellow Supernatural star Misha Collins,who played Castiel, should be brought on as well.
Jim Beaver’s character inThe Boysis named after his Supernatural character of a similar name, Bobby Singer.
Misha Collins played nine roles onSupernatural, and his character Castiel had a deep connection with both Winchester brothers, especially Dean. Castiel and Dean appeared in hundreds of episodes together and Castiel’s character arc kicks off with him bringing Dean back from Hell in season 4.Misha Collins has since moved on to other roles, but his portrayal of Castiel is iconic. Because he and Jensen Ackles acted together for so long, it’s only right that Eric Kripke brings him intoTheBoysto meet Soldier Boy.
The Actors Joining The Boys Would Perfectly Round Out Its Supernatural Cameos
Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki have yet to appear in The Boys.
Jared Padalecki seems on board to joinThe Boysand speaking toDeadlinebeforeWalker’sseason finale, he said that he and Kripke had, “already talked about a role"for him in season 5. However, nothing has been said about Misha Collins joining the show.Casting Collins and Padalecki would bring the Supernaturalcameos full circleand satisfy watchers of bothSPNandThe Boys. Casting begins long before filming, as Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s casting in season 4 was announced in 2022, so there is no reason why the writers can’t develop roles for both actors.
Nevertheless, for now, Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki are free to join the cast since they aren’t attached to any other TV shows.
Because the season is now airing,what the cast has teased aboutThe Boysseason 4doesn’t give viewers any ideas about who could cameo in season 5, just that there is a possibility of new cameos happening. Nevertheless, for now, Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki are free to join the cast since they aren’t attached to any other TV shows.The actors were both on shows that were canceled by The CW, with Misha Collins' show,Gotham Knights,ending after 1 season last year for similar reasons to Jared Padalecki’s showWalker.
Casting Misha Collins In The Boys Would Make Up For His Shortlived Gotham Knights Role
Misha Collins played Harvey Dent until Gotham Knights was canceled in June 2023
WithGotham Knightsseason 2 not happening,Misha Collins’s joiningThe Boyswould make sense to make up for his brief roleon the superhero legacy show. Collins played Harvey Dent, a friend of Bruce Wayne’s and the District Attorney of Gotham City. After the show was canceled, he said on Instagram that he was, “incredibly bummed and selfishly disappointed,” to be unable to continue Harvey Dent’s story, but now he voices Jeremy Bradshaw in the audio thrillerConsumed, alongside Jared Padalecki’s wife, Genevieve Padalecki.
Writing cameos for Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki in season five ofThe Boyswouldn’t be difficult, as many characters from the comics can be adapted on-screen. SinceMisha Collins recently worked on a superhero show, he could easily play one of the comic book characters,as could Jared Padalecki, given that he has experience inSupernaturaland screen testing for a Supermanmovie.Nobody knows if Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki will join the cast of season 5, but having theSupernaturalcast members reunite onThe Boyswould be an epic way to conclude the Prime Video series.
