Warning: Spoilers ahead for Gen V season 1, episode 6.
Article Overview
In episode 6 of Gen V, there is a reunion of the Supernatural cast, including Jensen Ackles and two other former members.
The Boys season 4 will feature an even more exciting Supernatural reunion, as another alum has been confirmed to join the cast.
The chemistry between Ackles and the confirmed Supernatural star has the potential to create an electrifying dynamic in season 4 of The Boys.
Episode 6 of Gen V surprises viewers with a Supernatural reunion, but The Boys season 4 has an even more highly anticipated collaboration in store. The Boys spinoff introduces a fresh batch of superhumans who are training at Godolkin University, with many aspiring to join Vought and pursue prestigious careers. It is highly probable that these characters will make appearances in The Boys season 4. Furthermore, several characters from The Boys have already been featured in the Prime Video spinoff.
The intersect of these shows also led to an unexpected reunion in episode 6 of Gen V, featuring various actors from the CW series coming together in a peculiar manner. This thrilling occurrence delighted fans of Supernatural. Nonetheless, The Boys season 4 has the potential to surpass Gen V's Supernatural reunion with an even more remarkable one.
Gen V Brings 3 Supernatural Stars Together In An Unexpected Way
Supernatural, created by Eric Kripke, was showrun by him for its first five seasons. Therefore, it's not surprising to see former cast members making appearances in The Boys universe. In season 3 of The Boys, Jensen Ackles, who played Soldier Boy, had a cameo in Gen V, where he reunited with two other actors from Supernatural. Maddie Phillips, who portrayed Janet Novoselic in Supernatural, played Cate in Gen V. Interestingly, Cate, who has a fondness for Soldier Boy, unexpectedly reunites with the actors in this episode.
The Boys Season 4 Could Have An Even Better Supernatural Reunion
In addition to Ackles and Phillips, there are other familiar Supernatural stars who make an appearance in Gen V episode 6. Alexander Calvert, who played Jack Kline in Supernatural's last three seasons, takes on the role of Rufus. Within Gen V, Calvert's portrayal of Rufus is met with disdain from the other characters, particularly Cate. There are significant on-screen moments shared between Calvert's Rufus and Phillips, as well as a brief scene featuring Phillips and Ackles. This subtle reunion of Supernatural actors is easily recognized by devoted fans. However, the potential for a more obvious team-up of Supernatural actors might be seen in The Boys season 4.
Confirming his appearance in The Boys season 4, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's role remains undisclosed, generating immense anticipation. Best known for portraying John Winchester in Supernatural, Morgan's versatile acting prowess enables him to effortlessly tackle diverse character types. With his notable portrayal of Negan in The Walking Dead, he emerges as a promising candidate to embody a morally corrupted supe. In the event that his character aligns with this description, it opens up the possibility of a collaboration with Ackles' Soldier Boy.
Ackles and Morgan's on-screen chemistry from their time together on Supernatural suggests a potential collaboration in The Boys season 4. It would be a shame to pass up this opportunity as their dynamic could bring a refreshing perspective to the show. Whether they unite as allies, become formidable foes, or navigate through a complex relationship, their reunion promises to be an entertaining departure from the understated encounter in Gen V's Supernatural.
Editor's P/S
As a fan of Supernatural and The Boys, I am thrilled to hear about the upcoming Supernatural reunion in season 4 of The Boys. The chemistry between Jensen Ackles and Jeffrey Dean Morgan was one of the best things about Supernatural, and I can't wait to see them team up again on The Boys. I'm also excited to see how the other Supernatural cast members will be incorporated into the story.
I think this reunion has the potential to be even better than the one in Gen V. Gen V's reunion was a nice surprise, but it was also a bit underwhelming. The characters didn't really have much to do together, and the reunion didn't really have any impact on the story. I'm hoping that the reunion in The Boys season 4 will be more substantial and will have a bigger impact on the story.
