Padalecki, who wants to work with Kripke once again, spoke about it to several media houses and confirmed his availability for season 5 of The Boys. Jared also talked about his conversation with Kripke regarding the same and said,
"We have talked. As a matter of fact, we talked today. 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 won’t be the first Supernatural star to join The Boys. Earlier in season 3 of the show, Jensen Ackles, who starred as Dean Winchester in Supernatural, played Soldier Boy.

He continued,
"I adore him as a person, and his storytelling. So I can’t wait. I don’t think Season 5 films until next year, but I will be ready when he makes the phone call. I’ll just say ‘Okay, when am I flying out?"
