Jensen Ackles on reunion with Supernatural co-stars in final season of 'The Boys': 'It was quite an experience'
In a recent interview with People, Ackles opened up about his enduring friendship with Padalecki and Collins, saying, 'We see each other more often than you would think — honestly, at least once a month.'
Reflecting on the recent experience of having both actors visit and work with him on the set, he shared, 'It was weird. It was like inviting my friends over to somebody else's house for dinner. I was like, 'Listen, guys, don't make me look bad. I got to stay here.' They were amazing. I can't wait to talk more about it because it was quite an experience.'
The possibility of Padalecki joining the Prime Video series gained traction after Kripke publicly expressed his desire to work with the actor on 'The Boys' final season. Padalecki confirmed to Deadline last June that he was open to the idea. 'The answer is yes,' he said, signalling his willingness to reunite with his former showrunner and co-star.
The fourth season of 'The Boys', which is currently airing, also saw the arrival of another 'Supernatural' alumnus. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who portrayed the Winchester brothers' father in the earlier seasons of the CW series, made a memorable appearance as Joe Kessler — a hallucination tormenting Karl Urban's Billy Butcher.
This week, Kripke marked the end of principal photography on The Boys' finale with a heartfelt message on social media. 'It's bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude,' he wrote. 'We have the best cast, the best crew, the most fun story to write, and something that is impossible to predict: the right timing. You wait your whole career to have maybe two of those things, if you're lucky. We got all of them.'
This reunion would not only serve as a nostalgic moment for long-time viewers of 'Supernatural', but also a fitting culmination to Kripke's two most iconic genre-bending series.
Ackles, who starred as Dean Winchester for 15 seasons alongside Padalecki's Sam Winchester in Eric Kripke's cult CW series 'Supernatural' (2005–2020), joined 'The Boys' in its third season as Soldier Boy. Since then, The Boys has continued to attract a growing audience, with Kripke, the showrunner, now preparing to bring the story to a close with its upcoming fifth season.
As production wraps and anticipation builds for the fifth and final season of The Boys, fans will be watching closely for any official announcements confirming the reunion that genre television enthusiasts have long awaited.

Andrew Garfield Arrives Hand-In-Hand With Monica Barbaro, Shares PDA Moments At Wimbledon
Last Updated: Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro turned heads at Wimbledon, arriving hand-in-hand in coordinated outfits. Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro enjoyed a stylish day out at Wimbledon this weekend, turning heads as they arrived hand-in-hand at the All England Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Sunday, July 6. Dressed in coordinated all-white Ralph Lauren looks, the duo looked effortlessly in sync as they made their way into the iconic venue. Once inside, they were seated close to fellow celebrities Maude Apatow, Charithra Chandran, and Matthew Broome. Their chemistry was hard to miss. The two were seen chatting and laughing throughout the day, and at one point, the Amazing Spider-Man star leaned in to kiss Barbaro — known for her role in A Complete Unknown — on the cheek in a tender moment that didn't go unnoticed. The actors, aged 41 and 35 respectively, were first linked romantically back in February 2025, when they were seen attending a play together in London. That same month, PEOPLE confirmed the two were dating through a source close to the couple. Although neither Garfield nor Barbaro has spoken publicly about their relationship, they've been spotted several times since — from casual outings and errand runs to glamorous industry events. Adding fuel to the buzz, the pair are reportedly in talks to star together in Artificial, an upcoming film directed by Challengers filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, according to Deadline. While promoting her Netflix series FUBAR in June, Barbaro remained tight-lipped when asked about the project. Garfield, for his part, has long been vocal about keeping his private life out of the spotlight. 'I have never, and I won't ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever," he told Esquire in a 2024 interview. In fact, his stance on privacy hasn't wavered over the years. Back in 2021, he told Bustle he'd 'fight" for his 'right for a private, personal life." 'My right to be ordinary," Garfield said. 'My right to be a mess. My right to be sorrowful. My right to lose, to get it wrong, to be stupid, to be a person." As they continue to make low-key but notable appearances together, fans are left wondering: Is a joint screen debut on the cards? First Published:

'My mother-in-law was like, 'I remember watching you when you won'", she said on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' in 2023. 'He was 7, I was 17. And he was sitting there, and he was watching". The actress stars in Ilya Naishuller–directed 'Heads of State' with John Cena as the U.S. president and Idris Elba as the U.K. prime minister. The action-comedy is streaming now on Prime Video.

From Clayface to Supergirl: 6 exciting DCU movies coming soon
A new day has dawned for the DC Universe. Under the leadership of DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, the first chapter of an all-new, bold cinematic slate, titled Gods and Monsters, is officially in motion. Director James Gunn poses at a photo call for the film Superman in Culver City, California, U.S., June 28, 2025. (REUTERS) Superman leads the new cinematic universe At the heart of this reboot is Superman, which is set to soar into theatres on July 11, 2025, as the first live-action film of the revamped DC Universe, reported People. David Corenswet will appear as the Man of Steel, joined by Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The action-packed film will also feature DC favorites like Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific and Metamorpho. Supergirl and Clayface step into the spotlight After the David Corenswet-starrer, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be hitting the silver screen on June 26, 2026, starring House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El. Gunn, speaking about the film, said the origin for Supergirl will be more complex compared to her cousin. Reportedly, Jason Momoa will be joining the cast as space bounty hunter Lobo; Eve Ridley and Matthias Schoenaerts will also be joining the cast. Yet another intriguing addition to the DCU, Clayface, will debut the same year on September 11. Starring Tom Rhys Harries as the shape-shifting Gotham villain, a washed-up actor who mutates himself in a desperate bid for relevance, the film will offer a darker, character-driven take on DC's rogues. The 2026 release is being directed by filmmaker James Watkins. Bat Family and heroic team-ups ahead Alongside the new Superman, the DCU will be introducing a new Batman in The Brave and the Bold. The new superhero won't be related to Robert Pattinson or Ben Affleck's iterations. His lethal son, Damian Wayne, will join him as Robin, said the People report. Based on Grant Morrison's beloved comics, this marks the first time Damian appears in live-action. As per People, Peter Safran hinted at appearances from more members of the extended Bat Family; he said they had been left out of the big screen for far too long. Dynamic Duo is also in the works. This animated/CGI hybrid feature film focuses on Dick Grayson (Nightwing) and Jason Todd (Red Hood). The film is scheduled to release on June 30, 2028, and explores the evolving brotherhood between the two former Robins. Lastly, The Authority is a superhero team that reportedly features morally complex characters. Development of the film is in its nascent stages, but one of its members, Engineer (played by Maria Gabriela de Faria), will be appearing in the new Superman movie as one of Lex Luthor's henchmen. FAQs What is 'Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters' in the DC Universe? It's the first phase of DC Studios' rebooted cinematic and TV universe, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, unifying live-action, animation, and gaming. Is Robert Pattinson returning as Batman in this universe? No. A new actor will portray Batman in The Brave and the Bold, set within the DCU continuity. Pattinson's Batman will remain in separate standalone films. When does the new Superman movie release? Superman, starring David Corenswet, releases in theatres on July 11, 2025. Are Superman and Supergirl related in this version? Yes. Supergirl is Superman's cousin, but her backstory will highlight a darker, more traumatic upbringing. Will all these DC films connect? Yes, the new DCU is designed with interconnected storytelling, though each film will still focus on its own narrative arc.
