'We see each other more often than you would think — honestly, at least once a month,' he told People after they starred in Kripke's CW series for 15 seasons from 2005 to 2020.
Ackles added, '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.'
After Kripke expressed his desire to work with Padalecki on the concluding season of The Boys, the actor told Deadline he's in. 'The answer is yes,' he said last June.
'We have talked [about a role]. As a matter of fact, we talked today,' added Padalecki. 'I think at this point in my acting life, I only want to work on projects that I really care about or with people that I really care about, and obviously Eric and I are indelibly connected forever.'
After Ackles joined the series as Soldier Boy during Season 3, his and Padalecki's Supernatural onscreen dad Jeffrey Dean Morgan appeared as Joe Kessler via Billy Butcher's hallucination in Season 4.
This week, Kripke bid farewell to The Boys set as he wrapped the finale. 'It's bittersweet, but my primary feeling is gratitude,' he wrote in part. '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.'
The final season of The Boys, premiering in 2026, comes after Season 4 topped the Nielsen streaming scores for the first time, setting multiple records for Prime Video.

This Wild Scene Was Removed From The New Superman Film After Controversy During Test Screening
The new Superman film may already be at the centre of a whole lot of hype and excitement, but there was one scene in the new comic book movie that fans were far less enthusiastic about. During a recent interview with YouTuber Jake Hamilton, cast member Sara Sampaio let slip that one truly outrageous scene had to be pulled from the film after test audiences had a decidedly negative reaction to it. During the conversation, the host claimed that there's one scene in the film where Superman's villains are 'not the kindest' towards Clark Kent's dog, Krypto. 'They actually cut a worse scene,' Sara claimed, admitting that she and co-star Nicholas Hoult, who plays supervillain Lex Luthor, were 'a little bit pissed about it, but it's OK'. Sara then shared: 'They cut Ultraman punching Krypto. Because, apparently, it did really bad in the test screening.' Co-star María Gabriela de Faría then added: 'It's not OK. You can't punch a dog.' However, she maintained that 'the dog attacked me first' before the deleted punch sequence. Superman – helmed by Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director James Gunn – will introduce David Corenswet as the latest actor to take on the Man Of Steel. David's past work has included the cult horror movie Pearl, Ryan Murphy's Netflix shows Hollywood and The Politician, the political drama House Of Cards and the miniseries We Own This City and Lady In The Lake. He is joined in the film by Rachel Brosnahan – the Emmy-winning star of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, House Of Cards and The Amateur – as Lois Lane. Meanwhile, James Gunn also recently revealed that another divisive shot of David Corenswet flying as Superman was not used in the finished film after fans reacted negatively to it. James Gunn reveals he deleted this scene from #Supermam film following social media response: 'It was a TV commercial and it wasn't a finished visual effects shot... I didn't love the shot, so it's not even the shot that's in the movie.'Source: EW | — Screen Rant (@screenrant) June 19, 2025 Superman hits cinemas on Friday 11 July.

James Gunn confirms Superman is about an ‘immigrant': ‘Yes, it's about politics'
James Gunn has said his Superman is the story of an 'immigrant that came from other places' and of 'basic human kindness'. The DC Studios co-CEO explained the themes of his forthcoming film Superman in a new profile and the inherent political nature of the superhero. 'I mean, Superman is the story of America,' Gunn told The Sunday Times. 'An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.' Starring David Corenswet as the titular Superman, Gunn's iteration of the iconic DC hero also features Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the villainous Lex Luther. The cast also includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer. Gunn acknowledged that the film may be received differently among diverse political groups, but added that at the core of the film lay 'human kindness'. 'Yes, it plays differently,' he said. 'But it's about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them.' On whether Superman was political, Gunn said it was, but it also aimed to start a conversation about morality. 'Yes, it's about politics. But on another level it's about morality,' the Guardians of the Galaxy director said. 'Do you never kill no matter what – which is what Superman believes – or do you have some balance, as Lois believes? It's really about their relationship and the way different opinions on basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart.' 'This Superman does seem to come at a particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people's goodness,' the filmmaker added. 'I'm telling a story about a guy who is uniquely good, and that feels needed now because there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural figures being mean online.' Fans previously hailed the return of popular Superman character Krypto the Superdog when the first trailer for the new film was released, who featured in the comics as Superman's canine companion. Gunn shared previously how adopting his own rescue dog shaped the script for Superman. 'When I first adopted Ozu, I was starting to write the Superman script,' said Gunn. 'Ozu was such a terrible, uncontrollable dog – tearing up our entire house – I thought, 'What if he had superpowers? We'd be screwed.' And thus, the filmic Krypto was born. He really just gave the script that unusual aspect that made it fun to write.' Gunn added that the cinematic Krypto was designed to resemble Ozu, using CGI technology and reference videos. Superman will be released in cinemas on 11 July 2025.
