Supernatural Trio Recreates Viral The Boys Scene

Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins have reunited for the fifth season of The Boys, providing a crossover moment for fans of their previous collaboration on Supernatural. The three actors appear together in Episode 5 of the current season, marking a significant reunion for the trio.

The reunion has extended beyond the scripted plot of the series. Misha Collins shared a blooper video on Instagram during the week of May 11, 2026, showing the actors stepping back into their roles as Dean, Sam, and Castiel. In the video, the actors incorporate specific references to Supernatural, including mentions of Chuck and Busty Asian Beauties.

Contrasting Tones Between Productions

While both The Boys and Supernatural were created by Eric Kripke, the two series maintain distinct writing styles and thematic worlds. The lighthearted nature of the Instagram outtake contrasts sharply with the events of the actual episode.

In the episode, the reunion is characterized by violence rather than camaraderie. The plot features Ackles, appearing as Soldier Boy, and Collins, appearing as Malchemical, engaging in a fight against Padalecki’s character, Mister Marathon. The confrontation ends when Mister Marathon is killed by Homelander, portrayed by Antony Starr.

Audience Response

Viewers have responded strongly to the reunion and the accompanying behind-the-scenes footage. Some fans expressed emotional reactions to seeing the actors back together, with one viewer stating that the video straightup teleported me to my angsty teen days.

Other reactions focused on the recognition of the series-specific references used in the blooper video, with one viewer noting they understood all the references made by the actors.

I actually got so emotional just watching this holy c**p.
