Watch Ackles, who plays Soldier Boy on The Boys, spread the word to Padalecki, and then Padalecki to Collins, in the video below.
Details on Padalecki and Collins’ Boys roles are being kept under wraps at the moment, though the former famously expounded on what he would like to do, ideally clothed, on the twisted comic book adaptation.
Supernatural creator and The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke previously called Padalecki “the Pokémon I haven’t collected yet,” having already enlisted Supernatural vets Ackles, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jim Beaver, Rob Benedict and Christian Keyes to play roles; additionally, Alexander Calvert recurred on the spinoff Gen V.
Bringing Padalecki onto The Boys is a matter of “finding the right role… even if it’s just for a guest shot,” Kripke told TVLine.
Just last spring, Kripke called Padalecki following the cancellation of The CW series Walker.
“He’s like, ‘Hey, dude, a) so sorry about Walker. I know how much you loved it and great show. Would you be interested in coming to play up in Toronto [where The Boys shoots]?’” Padalecki recalled for TVLine. “I was like, ‘Absolutely. Just let me know if I have to get naked or not because I gotta start working out now.’”
“[Eric] and I have talked about what it could look like,” Padalecki shared, adding that he was game to “go play in the playground [of] the guy who created Sam Winchester. I’ve had good times in his playground, so I’m happy to do it again.”
As for what kind of character he’d like to portray, Padalecki had his sights set on a villainous supe, with “the power of wearing clothes,” he said with a laugh. “No, I don’t know…. I just want [Eric] and his f–ked-up mind to think of something cool for me to come and do, and it’s going to be better than anything I could have dreamed up. The way his brain works is wildly interesting and outside of the box… So I’ll just go with what he creates.”
