The highly anticipated The Boys Season 5 will see the return of Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, much to the delight of fans. This season promises not only Ackles’ reprisal but also the introduction of another character that has fans buzzing with excitement.

Ackles first captivated audiences as Soldier Boy in Season 3 of The Boys, where he developed an intriguing and morally complex narrative. Initially, Soldier Boy serves as a dark parody of the archetypal superhero Captain America. Instead of being enhanced by a benevolent serum, Soldier Boy’s aggressive nature led to his betrayal by fellow soldiers, which ultimately resulted in decades of experiments at the hands of Russian scientists. His nuanced performance resonated well with viewers, who expressed disappointment over his limited appearance in Season 4. Thankfully, his return in the final season is anticipated with excitement, especially considering the additional actor joining him, whom fans have long wished to see alongside Ackles.

During a recent fan convention, Jared Padalecki confirmed his involvement in The Boys Season 5. In a lively exchange captured in a video by Fangasm, when asked about sharing the screen with Ackles, Padalecki shared an enthusiastic, “yes,” eliciting cheers from the crowd. Ackles humorously reacted in mock surprise during the announcement. Padalecki praised Ackles’ performance as Soldier Boy and indicated that he is eager for the opportunity to collaborate on-screen once more: “It would be fun to share a screen again,” he noted.

The creative mind behind both Supernatural and The Boys, Eric Kripke, hinted at a possible reunion between Padalecki and Ackles during an interview with Entertainment Weekly in June 2024. He remarked on the potential buzz it could create, emphasizing that an appearance of these two actors together would “break the internet.” Kripke described the idea of their on-screen reunion as “appealing,” acknowledging that it could add significant value to the storyline.

Having portrayed the iconic Winchester brothers—Dean and Sam—for 15 celebrated seasons on Supernatural, Ackles and Padalecki have developed a deep camaraderie that translates into a captivating on-screen dynamic. Their strong chemistry has left an indelible mark on fans, who are eager to witness their reunion. While there are currently no specifics regarding Padalecki’s character in the upcoming season, speculation abounds regarding whether he may serve as an adversary or ally to Soldier Boy.

The premiere of The Boys Season 5 is slated for 2026, promising an eventful conclusion for the series.
