Jared Padalecki is an actor best known for his role in the fan-favorite show Supernatural. Following in the footsteps of his fellow Supernatural cohorts including the likes of Jensen Ackles, Jim Beavers, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Rob Benedict, Padalecki seems all set to jump on board The Boys.
Eric Kripke, the mastermind behind both Supernatural and The Boys, has never been shy about his desire for Padalecki to join the latter. When recently questioned if he was ready to participate, Padalecki responded, “The answer is yes.“
There's a lot buzzing around Jared's potential role. “We have talked [about a role]. As a matter of fact, we talked today,” Padalecki excitedly shared. “I think at this point in my acting life, I only want to work on projects that I really care about or with people that I really care about, and obviously Eric and I are indelibly connected forever.“
Padalecki has been leading The CW's Walker for the past four years. But with the series cancellation last month, it's made room for him to possibly reunite with Kripke. Speaking lovingly of Kripke, Padalecki said, “I mean, he created Supernatural. He created Sam Winchester. He created my wife's character, Ruby [Genevieve Padalecki], and started our whole family story. I admire him a lot. His storytelling, humor, and overall personality are things I cherish. So, I cannot wait. I don't think [Season 5] films until next year, but I will be ready when he makes the call. I'll be there, just tell me when to fly out.”
The Boys is currently reeling with the premiere of its fourth season on Prime Video and is set on a path to its end with the imminent fifth season. Kripke confirmed this when he said, “Season 5 will be the final season! Always my plan, I just had to hold back till I got the green light from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax.“
As for what's brewing in season 4 of The Boys, the stakes are higher than ever. The world hangs precariously on the edge, Homelander is building his power, and Butcher, knowing his days are numbered, deals with loss and trust issues. The Boys have to find unity to try and save the world before it's too late.
In conclusion, the excitement awaiting Jared Padalecki's probable appearance in The Boys is palpable. With his fond connections to Eric Kripke and the possibility of a rewarding role, fans are hoping for this reunion to happen sooner rather than later. So, stay tuned, because if it does, it's bound to be a big one!
