Spoilers are ahead for The Boys season 4 ’s coda .

Summary

In the wake of Amazon Prime Video’sVought Risingannouncement atSan Diego Comic - Con , I do n’t want Jared Padalecki inThe Boysseason 5 as much as I desire him to have a substantial role in the coming spinoff . During SDCC , Screen Rantlearned thatThe Boys ' universe is expand with a second spinoff serial publication . UnlikeGen V , which spread out alongside the events ofThe boy , Vought Risingis a prequel . good of all , it ’s substantiate that Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash will reprise their rolesasSoldier Boyand Stormfront inVought arise , promising a asterisk - dot outing .

So far , The Boys ' creator Eric Kripke , who also made the Padalecki and Ackles - ledSupernatural , has been pretty cockeyed - lipped aboutVought Rising ’s plot . I ’m excited to try thatThe Boys ' prequel will slant into its 1950s New York mount — and I ’m even more thrilled thatAckles , who join the SDCC panel , dub the spinoff a " lurid pulp saga prequel . “That say , I imagineVought Risingwill more than deliver , especially ifGen V ’s winner is any denotation . It also makes me feel less pressed about Padalecki reuniting with his fellowSupernaturalalum inThe Boysseason 5 .

Since Jensen Ackles is one of the stars ofVought Rising , I ca n’t aid but feel that the spinoff is now the good plaza for Jared Padaleckito make his long - awaited cameo inThe boy ' existence . Ackles , who plays America ’s first and greatest superhero , had a cameo appearance inThe Boysseason 4 ’s ending , and has confirmed that he ’ll come along in the parent show ’s 5th and final season . Still , aSupernaturalreunion seems better beseem toVought Rising ; Ackles ' Soldier Boy is a main character in the prequel , so there ’s more room to make a meta office for Padalecki .

I knowJared Padalecki ’s condition for hisThe Boyscameohas been fairly consistent and straight - forward : The Actor just needs the time to do it . Now thatWalker , a show he starred in and executive farm , has been offset , Padalecki has been vocal about his willingness to reunite with Kripke and Ackles forThe Boys .

The Boys Season 5 Probably Can’t Give Jared Padalecki A Major Role

Of course , I would n’t say " no " to Jared Padalecki seem in both show — if his character ’s arc allow for it . After all , there are good deal of Compound V - enhance supes , like Soldier Boy and Stormfront , who have look the same for decades . However , with so much happening in the original series , andThe Boys ' cast of charactersgrowing more jam-packed by the bit , it ’s hard to imagine Padalecki would have much more than a cameo inThe Boysseason 5 .
