The Boys just might offer us a Supernatural Winchester family reunion. Jensen Ackles’ played the villainous Soldier Boy in season three and will reprise that role this season alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan joining the cast in a mysterious capacity. So that’s Dean and his father John Winchester right there. Now, The Boys showrunner and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke hopes to bring Jared Padalecki to this universe to complete the trinity. Padalecki’s schedule is a bit more open now following the unfortunate cancellation of his Walker series.

“Texts have been sent,” said Kripke to Entertainment Weekly shortly before the cancellation news dropped. “I feel like it would be a bummer to not have Jared on the show one way or another at this point, even if it’s just the one-episode thing. He’s been shooting Walker, but with that show wrapping up, maybe he’ll have some time to come in and play with us. I would love it. We have definitely talked about it.”

We don’t know if it will be a complete family reunion, per se. Jared Padalecki possibly coming to The Boys wouldn’t happen this season because it is already done. There’s certainly hope for season five; however, there’s a chance that Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character and/or Soldier Boy could be legit dead by then. We will see what happens but, either way, we are totally down for it.
