Supernatural” 2.0? Why “Vought Rising” Needs Jared Padalecki…This Fan Theory Is Too Good to Ignore!

Fans are clamoring for a “Supernatural” reunion, and the new prequel spin-off is the perfect opportunity for Eric Kripke to make it happen.

Hold onto your burger and fries, “The Boys” fans, because things are about to get super(natural)! While the prospect of Jared Padalecki making a cameo in the final season of “The Boys” has been a tantalizing rumor for months, there’s a new contender in town, and it’s got “epic reunion” written all over it.

Enter “Vought Rising,” the highly anticipated prequel spin-off that’s set to delve into the dark and twisted origins of Vought International, the corporation behind those oh-so-corrupt superheroes. And guess what? Jensen Ackles, aka Dean Winchester himself, is one of the stars!

Soldier Boy and Stormfront Return: A Recipe for Chaos
“Vought Rising” promises to transport us back to the glamorous yet gritty world of 1950s New York, where we’ll witness the rise of Vought International and the creation of their first generation of supes.

Leading the charge are two familiar faces: Jensen Ackles, reprising his role as the morally ambiguous Soldier Boy, and Aya Cash as the chillingly charismatic (and white supremacist) Stormfront.

Eric Kripke, the mastermind behind both “Supernatural” and “The Boys,” has been keeping plot details under wraps, but he’s teased that the prequel will be a “lurid pulp saga” filled with murder, mayhem, and a healthy dose of corporate intrigue.

A “Supernatural” Reunion Made in Heaven (or Maybe Hell?): The Case for Padalecki in “Vought Rising”
Now, imagine this: Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, reunited on screen for the first time since “Supernatural” ended, but this time, they’re playing supes in a twisted world where heroism is a marketing ploy and power corrupts absolutely.

It’s a fan fiction dream come true, and “Vought Rising” is the perfect opportunity to make it happen.

With Ackles already a confirmed main character in the prequel, there’s ample opportunity for Kripke to write a substantial role for Padalecki, one that pays homage to their “Supernatural” brotherhood while also embracing the dark, satirical tone of “The Boys.

Padalecki and Ackles’ reunion in ‘Vought Rising’—a murder mystery about the supe company’s origins—seems like the perfect way to pay homage to the actors’ past ‘Supernatural’ roles,” one fan commented on a recent article speculating about the casting.

Another added, “I can already picture it now: Padalecki playing a morally gray supe who clashes with Soldier Boy. The angst! The banter! The inevitable showdown! It would be pure gold.”

Too Much of a Good Thing? Why “Vought Rising” Is a Better Fit
While a brief cameo in “The Boys” Season 5 might satisfy our immediate craving for a “Supernatural” reunion, “Vought Rising” offers something far more substantial: a chance for Padalecki to truly sink his teeth into a meaty role within the “The Boys” universe.

The final season of “The Boys” is already packed with storylines and characters, leaving little room for a newcomer to make a significant impact. A Padalecki cameo would likely be just that—a brief appearance, a nod to the fans, a fleeting moment of joy.

But in “Vought Rising,” Padalecki could become a key player in the unfolding drama, his character’s arc intertwining with Soldier Boy’s and shaping the very foundations of Vought International. It’s a chance for Kripke to explore the complexities of power, morality, and the enduring bond between two brothers (even if those brothers now have superpowers).

So, come on, Eric Kripke! Give the fans what they want. Give us the “Supernatural” reunion we deserve. Let Jared Padalecki loose in the twisted world of “Vought Rising,” and let the chaos commence!
