The exciting news was revealed via a video posted on the official social media accounts of The Boys, featuring Jensen Ackles, along with his former Supernatural co-stars Padalecki and Collins, hinting that they have some work to do together. The video is a fun reference to their Supernatural roots. As fans are already aware, Ackles is returning as a series regular in Season 5 after first appearing as Soldier Boy in Season 3.

The video, which featured all three stars, was captioned with the message: "Season 5 just got a bit more supernatural," further teasing their shared history on Supernatural.

The specific characters that Padalecki and Collins will portray remain under wraps, updates are expected as more details are revealed. It was previously hinted that Padalecki would appear, but Collins' involvement marks the return of the main trio from Supernatural for a highly anticipated reunion.

In a June 2024 interview with TV Insider, Kripke expressed his excitement about having Padalecki on board: "I definitely want to get Jared in there. I feel like that would be one I would love to do. Like I’ve said, I’m completing my game of Supernatural Pokémon. But the truth is, I just like working with people that I like, and Supernatural just happens to be chock-full of people who have remained dear friends of mine."

Supernatural ran for 15 seasons from 2005 to 2020, with Ackles and Padalecki playing brothers Dean and Sam Winchester, and Collins portraying the angel Castiel. Other Supernatural veterans who have appeared in The Boys universe, including Gen V, are Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jim Beaver, Alex Calvert, and Rob Benedict.

'Daredevil: Born Again' Review: Is the Return of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk Worth the Wait?

Image
In Daredevil: Born Again, the iconic archnemeses Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) face off once again, each claiming they’ve changed. Matt, struggling with a tragic past, swears he’s done with his vigilante life, while Wilson, now a mayoral candidate in New York City, insists he has left behind his criminal empire. Charlie Cox in ' Daredevil: Born Again. ' Giovanni Rufino/Marvel However, neither character truly believes the other, and neither do we. The core of this show relies on the inevitable return of these characters to their familiar roles. If Matt and Wilson ever completely transformed, there would be no story to tell. This sense of familiarity brings both comfort and constraint. Daredevil: Born Again largely sticks to the same formula that worked in the original Netflix series, which can be satisfying, but it also risks feeling stagnant. Despite having new leadership — with Dario Scardapane serving as showrunner and Matt Corman...

'The Monkey' Review: A Sinister Wind-Up Toy Gets a Horror-Comedy Twist in Osgood Perkins' Adaptation of Stephen King's Tale

Image
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Stephen King explored two distinct themes that would later become staples in his work: children with psychic abilities (as seen in Carrie, The Shining, and Firestarter) and inanimate objects turning into evil forces. Whether it was a possessed car, trucks, or even a laundry press, King’s sinister mechanical creations often came to life to cause chaos and destruction. These creepy machines made their way from King’s written works to the silver screen, with iconic directors like John Carpenter (Christine), Tobe Hooper (The Mangler), and even King himself (Maximum Overdrive, based on his short story "Trucks") bringing them to life. ' The Monkey. ' Courtesy of NEON One of King’s lesser-known stories, The Monkey, originally published in Gallery Magazine in 1980 and later included in his 1985 collection Skeleton Crew, is a chilling tale that centers around a seemingly innocent wind-up toy.

'My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow' Review

Image
A totalitarian regime led by a leader with unchecked authority. A severe crackdown on investigative journalists. A government filled exclusively with zealous supporters. Federal agents with access to citizens' financial data and private details. Journalists critical of the ruling power who face harassment, threats, and potential legal consequences. ' My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow. ' Julia Loktev What nation is being described here? Although this may sound familiar, it’s not the United States under President Donald Trump’s second term; rather, it’s Russia in 2021, as depicted in Julia Loktev’s compelling 5 ½ hour documentary My Undesirable Friends.

'In the Lost Lands' Review: A Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy with Predictable Plot and Lackluster Chemistry

Image
In a post-apocalyptic world, one thing is certain: the names of places are brutally literal. Paul W.S. Anderson’s latest fantasy film, In the Lost Lands, makes this abundantly clear. The locations in the film often reveal their true nature just from their names. The titular Lost Lands are a decayed region filled with ruins and menacing creatures. Then there's "Skull River," which, unsurprisingly, is home to thousands of skulls. You can also predict the nature of "City Under the Mountain" and "Fire Fields" based on their names alone. The movie's setting feels like a world where maps have vanished, and even primary colors seem to have disappeared, leaving only grim hues behind. ' In the Lost Lands. ' Courtesy of Vertical The movie opens with a dystopian warning: "The world you know is gone." This familiar trope is common in post-apocalyptic tales, yet it feels more like a public service announcement than a compelling sta...
