The final season of ‘The Boys’ is already shaping up to be full of shocking twists and long-awaited confrontations. However, to the viewers of another favorite TV show, the most surprising aspect of the trailer could be the reunion of three well-known faces of ‘Supernatural’.
In the trailer, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, and Jared Padalecki are briefly seen on screen together. However, the dynamic between them appears very different from what longtime fans might remember, and that’s exactly what makes the moment so interesting.
‘The Boys’ Season 5 Turns A Classic Supernatural Dynamic Upside Down
In ‘Supernatural’, Collins played Castiel, an angel with supernatural powers of great magnitude, and Padalecki played Sam Winchester, while Ackles played Dean Winchester. Castiel was frequently at an advantage in terms of sheer power, particularly in the first few seasons. However, the short scene in ‘The Boys’ season 5 trailer reverses that dynamic.

Soldier Boy, played by Ackles, is one of the most dangerous supes in the universe and is depicted physically dominating Collins in a scene, whose character is still nameless. Indeed, the video indicates that Soldier Boy is strangling him as Padalecki’s character observes in panic.
For fans who have been watching Castiel save the Winchesters out of impossible scenarios over the years, it is a weird yet intriguing twist to see Ackles’ character take the lead in the encounter. It is a little detail, but it perfectly shows that ‘The Boys’ enjoy breaking the rules.
The Reunion Could Be One of Season 5’s Best Surprises
The three actors appearing together are not simply a fun Easter egg. Eric Kripke, the creator behind ‘Supernatural’, created ‘The Boys’ after all. Over the years, the show has frequently brought in actors from his earlier series, making the worlds feel loosely connected through familiar faces. Nevertheless, Ackles, Collins, and Padalecki’s reunion is sure to cause a buzz among long-term fans.

The trailer also hints that Collins and Padalecki’s characters might share a close relationship, possibly even living together, since the confrontation with Soldier Boy appears to happen inside their home. Their roles are still unknown, but even their short interaction already brings up a lot of questions. Will they be friends, casualties of the Vought mess, or something more complex?
As ‘The Boys’ approaches its final season, the show is evidently not slowing down in terms of surprises. The final chapter is bound to give the fans the type of wild ride they have grown to expect. And to ‘Supernatural’ fans, this crossover moment may turn out to be one of the most memorable moments of the season.
