According to Deadline Hollywood, Padalecki has already begun conversations with Eric Kripke, the showrunner of The Boys who also created Supernatural. This news follows Kripke’s previous comments expressing his desire to involve more actors from Supernatural in the Prime Video series.
Padalecki confirmed the discussions, mentioning a recent conversation with Kripke. He emphasized his interest in projects he finds meaningful and his continued close relationship with Kripke.
The recent cancellation of Padalecki’s CW show Walker has created scheduling flexibility for him to pursue new opportunities. He appears enthusiastic about the prospect of reuniting with Kripke and potentially some of his former Supernatural co-stars.

Padalecki assured fans that he is ready to begin filming whenever Kripke gives the green light. While production for season 5 is not expected to start until next year, Padalecki seems enthusiastic about joining the cast.
Fans are already buzzing about the potential role Padalecki might play and the possibility of a reunion scene with Jensen Ackles, who portrayed Soldier Boy in season 3 of The Boys.
Whether Padalecki portrays a superhero, a vigilante, or someone entirely different, his potential addition to The Boys injects intrigue and excitement into the show’s final season.
