Prime Video - A new teaser for episode 5 of The Boys' fifth and final season makes clear a major draw for viewers: a reunion of Supernatural stars that raises the stakes for this chapter and for the series' final arc.
- In short: Episode 5, arriving 29/04/2026, brings Jensen Ackles (as Soldier Boy), Jared Padalecki (Mister Marathon) and Misha Collins into the same storyline.
What the teaser actually reveals
The promo places The Boys squarely in the spotlight by assembling Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins in one arc — a move that shifts episode 5 from a routine installment into a high-profile event for fans and streaming metrics. For historical context, the three co-starred for years on Supernatural (2005–2020), a long-running series documented on IMDb.
The teaser confirms that Ackles returns in his Soldier Boy role, Jared Padalecki appears as the Seven's original speedster Mister Marathon, and Misha Collins joins the same group, though his character remains undisclosed.
"The teaser confirms three things: the Supernatural reunion happens in episode 5; Jared Padalecki appears as Mister Marathon; Misha Collins' role is still shrouded in mystery."
Context and impact
Episode 5 will premiere 29 April 2026 on Prime Video. In Brasília time the episode drops at 4:00 AM — matching the global rollout pattern used this season (midnight Pacific, 3:00 AM Eastern). That schedule has been standard for the show’s windows and matters for fan viewing habits worldwide.
Bringing high-recognition actors from Supernatural into The Boys’ mythology matters beyond nostalgia: it concentrates fan attention, fuels social chatter, and can increase viewership peaks during launch windows as audiences tune in for the reunion and to learn how these characters tie into Soldier Boy's established storyline.
