“The Boys” has many ties to “Supernatural,” one other beloved present from author/showrunner Eric Kripke. Kripke is the largest hyperlink between the 2 collection, however a number of behind-the-scenes professionals have labored on each, together with composer Christopher Lennertz and govt producer/director Phil Sgriccia. Jensen Ackles (who famously performed Dean Winchester, one of many two lead characters in “Supernatural”) was added to the solid of “The Boys” as Soldier Boy in Season 3, and Kripke additionally ramped up the “Supernatural” Easter eggs that 12 months, lots of which could be present in Ackles’ varied scenes.
On the finish of Season 3, Soldier Boy is neutralized and put again into cryostasis after inflicting a number of destruction in a brief period of time, so it is not going that we’ll see him again once more as quickly as Season 4 (although it is not unimaginable, as a result of he isn’t lifeless). Nevertheless, we’ve got a brand new “Supernatural” connection to be enthusiastic about for Season 4: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who performed John Winchester, the daddy of Ackles’ character.
Morgan joins the solid of “The Boys” as an outdated pal of Butcher’s named Joe Kessler. Whereas there’s a Joe Kessler within the comics, it is unlikely that Morgan’s TV model may have a lot in widespread with him, as (imagine it or not) the present is not almost as grotesque and disturbing because the comics, and this character actually is on the market. If that appears imprecise, let’s simply say the comedian guide Kessler has a singular nickname related to a weird backstory, however look it up at your personal peril.
