I still believe Jeffrey Dean Morgan&#8217;s Supernatural reunion can — and should — take place in The Boys season 5, even if it looks quite different from how I had envisioned it. In season four, The Boys&#8217; big Kessler shock revealed that Morgan&#8217;s character was a hallucination of Butcher&#8217;s (Karl Urban) imagination. Although Joe Kessler appeared to his old battle friend on several times, no one else in The Boys season 4&#8217;s cast could see him. This became increasingly evident as the episode approached its conclusion, and Butcher&#8217;s Temp V-caused tumor exacerbated his hallucinations.

The Boys&#8217; Kessler twist seemed obvious to me because it echoed Morgan&#8217;s well-known Grey&#8217;s Anatomy plotline, so I had given up on a classic Supernatural reunion between Morgan&#8217;s Kessler and Jensen Ackles&#8217; Soldier Boy a long time ago. Before inventing The Boys on television, Eric Kripke rose to notoriety with Supernatural, in which Ackles and Jared Padalecki played demon-, ghost-, and monster-hunting siblings Dean and Sam Winchester. Notably, Morgan appeared as the brothers&#8217; late father, John Winchester. With two Supernatural actors in the cast, they just have to share the screen before The Boys finishes.

By The Boys season 4&#8217;s ending, it&#8217;s clear that Butcher&#8217;s Kessler hallucination is a manifestation of the Supe-hating vigilante&#8217;s guilt, anger, and darkest impulses. When Butcher hesitates to make decisions, his late wife, Becca (Shantel VanSanten), urges him to take moral paths, while Kessler encourages violence. Later, while facing off against Ezekiel (Shaun Benson), Butcher blacks and the Kessler part of him takes over to brutally murder Ezekiel. &#8220;What&#8217;s a little genocide between friends?&#8221; Kessler posits, advising Butcher to unleash The Boys&#8216; Supe-𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing virus on the world — a move that endangers Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) too.

Given Jeffrey Dean Morgan&#8217;s response regarding The Boys season 5, it&#8217;s safe to say the actor will be back for the show&#8217;s final outing. That fact alone makes me hopeful about the long-overdue Supernatural reunion. Plus, The Boys season 4&#8217;s Soldier Boy tease, which suggests that Homelander (Antony Starr) will awaken his Supe father for the fight against Butcher, confirms that Ackles will return for the final season too. While Morgan noted that he wants to have scenes with everyone in the cast, reuniting with Ackles is &#8220;[the] carrot in front of my face that I was chasing after.&#8221;
<h3>Season 5 Is The Show&#8217;s Last Chance To Reunite Jeffrey Dean Morgan &amp; Jensen Ackles</h3>
The Boys Season 5 Is The Superhero Satire&#8217;s Final Outing

With Soldier Boy being MIA during the events of the fourth outing, The Boys season 5 is the last chance for the series to reunite Morgan and Ackles. To me, it would be a real shame — and massive waste of an opportunity — if the superhero satire didn&#8217;t go forward with the Supernatural reunion. The Boys has always had a wonderfully meta sense of humor, especially when it comes to its casting choices. In fact, I recall thinking that the reveal of Ackles as Soldier Boy was extra perfect because of his career-defining role in Kripke&#8217;s Supernatural.
<h3>The Boys&#8217; Most Exciting Supernatural Reunion Will Be Much Different Than I Imagined</h3>
Jeffrey Dean Morgan &amp; Jensen Ackles Will Share The Screen — But Not Much Else

No matter how it happens, I think the Supernatural reunion during The Boys season 5 will be a ton of fun in that wink-at-the-TV sort of way. As Butcher hunts down Supes, and Kessler appears to him, Soldier Boy will most likely be hot on Butcher&#8217;s tracks. That said, I know Morgan and Ackles will be in the same scene or room, but the characters will have to interact through Butcher. Honestly, getting Morgan and Ackles to share the screen without actually conversing is a funny bit that feels in line with The Boys&#8216; sense of humor.
