There’s a spot forJeffrey Dean Morganin the cast ofThe Boys, but having too many zombies to kill in another franchise seems to be the biggest roadblock in the path of theSupernaturalreunion. Previously,The Boysshowrunner Eric Kripke createdSupernatural, and he’s already brought back one of that show’s stars in a big way for the upcoming season 3. With Jensen Ackles on board to appear as Soldier Boy, could Morgan, who played Ackles' father onSupernatural, be close behind?
Unfortunately, it does not appear that Morgan will be popping up onThe Boysanytime soon. Back in 2020, Kripke had offered Morgan a role in the superhero satire series afterThe Walking Deadstar had shown interest. At the time, the scheduling just didn’t work out as Morgan would have been too busy filming the eleventh and final season ofThe Walking Dead. In a new interview withEntertainment Weekly, Kripke provided a new update on his quest for Morgan, and this time, it appears to be off the table once again with the actor planning to shoottheWalking Deadspinoff seriesIsle of the Deadwith Lauren Cohan.
“The question has been asked. Sad for me, happy for him: He’s currently the lead, along with Lauren Cohan, on theWalking Deadspin-off. So, schedule-wise, I don’t know. We might still remain star-crossed, unfortunately, because Ididask. We had a role come up, and my first question was, ‘Well, is Jeffrey available?'”

The Boys Returns in June on Prime Video
Fans are anticipating the return ofThe Boysnext month. While Jeffrey Dean Morgan isn’t involved, there is a lot of fan excitement about the inclusion of hisSupernaturalco-star, Jensen Ackles. For his part, Ackles will be playing Soldier Boy, a superhero from the past who led a team of Supes known as Payback in the years before The Seven had been established. While Ackles was a beloved fan favorite onSupernatural, Kripke previously teased that the characterwill not be a hero, as he’s perhaps not much better than Homelander (Antony Starr).
“I think anyone expecting Jensen to show up and be a good guy, they will be disappointed,” Kripke said. “In the comics he’s mostly just kind of bumbling and subservient to Homelander, I would say. As we’re writing him in this, we’re getting to really talk about the history of Vought because he’s like John Wayne: He’s one of these guys that’s been around for decades of Vought history. And he was Homelander before Homelander, so he’s from a different era, but he’s got the ego and the ambition - it just comes across in a different way because he’s from a different time.”
The Boyswill return when season 3 premieres on August 04, 2025, on Prime Video. you’re able to find the first two seasons now streaming along with the animated spinoff series,The Boys Presents: Diabolical.
