Here’s When Jared Padalecki Will Appear in The Boys Season 5 & What To Expect

by

With only four episodes left in Season 5 of The Boys, fans are especially looking forward to seeing Jared Padalecki make his first appearance as Mister Marathon. His arrival, along with Misha Collins, sets the stage for a reunion with Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy – a moment that will delight fans of Supernatural. While their characters in The Boys might be quite different (and possibly less heroic) than those they played in Supernatural, it will be fun to see the three actors share the screen again, even if they are at odds with each other, as hinted at in the Season 5 trailer.

Fans eager to see Jared Padalecki join the cast won’t have to wait much longer. The Boys is nearing the end of its current season, and while the premiere date for Gen V and Homelander’s fate remain unknown, we now know when Mister Marathon will appear.

Jared Padalecki Will Appear in The Boys Season 5, Episode 5

Eric Kripke, the showrunner for The Boys, recently shared some exciting news with Entertainment Weekly about upcoming guest appearances. Jared Padalecki and Jack Collins will both appear in Episode 5 of Season 5, which will be available on Prime Video starting April 29th. While their roles are limited to this single episode, it’s a special way to celebrate the halfway point of the show’s final season.

Besides announcing when Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Colby Minifie will reunite on screen, showrunner Eric Kripke shared that all three actors will be playing flawed, unlikeable characters. We’ve already gotten a sense of Soldier Boy’s personality, but details about Mister Marathon and Minifie’s character have been largely secret. Kripke hinted that they’ll be just as selfish and unpleasant as most of the superpowered individuals in The Boys’ world.

I really enjoy how awful these characters are – it’s incredibly entertaining. While Soldier Boy isn’t exactly a good guy either, they’re all just genuinely bad people, and it’s fun to watch them act that way. It was a really enjoyable experience.

What We Know About Jared Padalecki’s Character in The Boys Season 5

Given that three actors from Supernatural are playing unpleasant characters in the new season, we can anticipate some conflicts between them. The trailer for Season 5 of The Boys shows Soldier Boy attacking another supe, and Mister Marathon appears to be involved in the action. It’s likely that both Soldier Boy and Homelander will try to find Bombsight soon, and they might know where he’s hiding.

Jared Padalecki’s character has a history in the original The Boys comics, which might give us clues about what to expect from him in Season 5. In the comics, he’s a superhero with super speed who is ultimately killed on a mission by Homelander and replaced by A-Train. While the TV show will likely take a different path for his story, he’ll probably still have the same power, and could still be affected by Homelander’s mistakes. Either way, his appearance this week is sure to excite fans of Supernatural.
