'I don't know a whole lot about it, which is effing terrifying,' Padalecki told Business Insider during the 2025 Texas Film Awards.
Padalecki confirmed he will share the screen with Ackles and added, 'I don't know what we're doing. I don't know if we like, bump into each other. I don't know much about it. They're still trying to write and figure out who's gonna be there. But it'll be the end of this month.'
Supernatural premiered on The WB in 2005 and crossed over to The CW the following year. The series created by Eric Kripke ran for 15 seasons and ended its run in 2020. The link between Supernatural and The Boys is Kripke who developed the superhero series for Prime Video.
Ackles joined The Boys in Season 3 playing the role of Soldier Boy and will reprise his role in the final season. Previously, Supernatural's Jeffrey Dean Morgan also appeared in Season 4 of The Boys.
'I know Eric Kripke very well,' Padalecki said. 'I know The Boys very well. He's like, 'Hey, you wanna come play?' I'm like, 'Yes, I think?''
Padalecki said that it was his wife that encouraged him to take on the role but had one condition, recalling a text to Kripke where he said, 'Hey, if I'm getting naked, just give me like a month's notice to eat broccoli and rice and chicken breasts and all day long just sit there doing push-ups.'
Reuniting with his Supernatural co-stars is something that Padalecki knows fans will enjoy, with the actor adding, 'It's fucking terrifying for me.'

Bill Skarsgård's ‘Nosferatu' Gets Prime Video Streaming Date

"Nosferatu" partial poster featuring Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgård. Nosferatu — the 2024 horror hit starring Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult — is coming soon to Prime Video. Directed by Robert Eggers, Nosferatu opened on Dec. 25, 2024. The official logline for the movie reads, 'A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.' Skarsgård stars as the vampire Count Orlok in Nosferatu, while Depp plays Ellen Hutter, whom the vampire has been haunting in her dreams. Hoult plays Ellen's husband, Thomas Hutter, a real estate agent who is trying to thwart Orlok from preying on his wife. The film also stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Simon McBurney, Ralph Ineson and Willem Dafoe. Prime Video has announced that Nosferatu will join its streaming video on demand lineup on Friday, June 27. Viewers who don't have Prime Video can get the streaming service as one of the benefits of being an Amazon Prime subscriber for $14.99 or $139 per year. Prime Video-only subscriptions are also available for $8.99 per month. According to streaming tracker When to Stream, only the theatrical version of Nosferatu will be available on Prime Video when the film makes its SVOD debut on the platform on Friday. The extended cut of Nosferatu, which includes four minutes of additional footage is only available on the Peacock streaming service. Robert Eggers Contacted Bill Skarsgård About 'Nosferatu' After Seeing Him In 'IT: Chapter Two' Nosferatu director Robert Eggers said it was because of another horror role — Pennywise the Clown— that led him to pursue Bill Skarsgård to play Count Orlok. However, it wasn't Skarsgård's portrayal as the clown that inspired Eggers. 'It was [Bill's role] as Pennywise, but in IT: Chapter Two, when he played Pennywise as a middle-aged human man instead of a clown,' Eggers said in a Zoom conversation prior to the film's theatrical release. 'It just had a kind of darkness and depth that I really believed. 'So, that's when I emailed or texted Bill and said, 'Let's talk about Orlok.' I really wanted to work with Bill since I met him almost 10 years ago,' the filmmaker added. 'I cast him in The Northman in a supporting role but because of COVID, it didn't happen. He was always on my mind.' Nosferatu received awards season recognition for films released in 2024, largely in the technical categories. The film earned nominations for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design and Best Production Design for the 97th Academy Awards; and received nominations in the same four categories and a Best Original Score nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards. Nosferatu begins streaming on Prime Video on Friday.

I Just Found Out Super Nintendo World Has A New 'Bomb' Popcorn Bucket, And I Can't Wait To Try And Take This Through TSA

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The popcorn bucket industrial complex has been growing at an exponential rate. Once only the purview of theme parks, intricately-designed popcorn buckets are now found at every movie theater advertising your favorite blockbuster. Disney World is still the king of the popcorn bucket, though Universal Orlando Resort has created some great ones in recent years. This new Universal Studios bucket for Super Nintendo World may be one of the best, and also the most complicated to bring home. Universal Studios Japan just debuted a brand-new popcorn bucket for its Super Nintendo World. It's a 'Bob-omb,' the anthropomorphic explosive device from the Mario games that looks like the classic cartoon version of a bomb, that might raise a few eyebrows when trying to get it through airport security. I mean, I have no idea what airport security would think if they saw this go through an X-ray machine. It might only scan as a hollow piece of plastic, but if anybody gave it a serious look, I can imagine some security officials having questions. It doesn't look like a 'real' weapon, but certainly the TSA could still take issue with it based on how other people might perceive it if they saw it. If the TSA can take issue with "thermal detonator" Coke bottles, then a "bomb"-shaped popcorn bucket is absolutely fair game. As somebody who was mildly worried I might have an issue when I brought my Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge lightsaber through airport security, I honestly might get nervous trying to transport this. Of course, if I was too nervous, that might be when security would get concerned. This may be one of the best popcorn buckets ever devised. First off, it looks perfect as a 'real' version of the Bomb-omb, which was introduced in Super Mario Bros. 2. However, it's also functional, as it makes for a simple receptacle for popcorn, and is even round, which is going to make cleaning the thing a lot easier. The only problem with the Bob-omb bucket is that right now, it's only available at Universal Studios Japan. That park had the first Super Nintendo World, so it's not surprising that it debuted the bucket. That said, we now have two Super Nintendo Worlds in the U.S.: a small one at Universal Studios Hollywood and a much larger version at the brand-new Epic Universe park at Universal Orlando Resort. One imagines that if the popcorn bucket proves popular, the design will make its way stateside. Currently, the only popcorn bucket available at Super Nintendo World on either coast is themed to Mario Kart. While it looks cool, I would buy the Bob-omb bucket in a second, even if I were going to have some explaining to do to get it home.

‘How to Train Your Dragon' Stays No. 1 as ‘Elio' Earns Pixar's Lowest Box Office Opening

Universal/DreamWorks' 'How to Train Your Dragon' will hold on to the No. 1 spot at the box office with a $35 million second weekend, topping the estimated $30 million opening of Sony's '28 Years Later' and the studio-worst $20 million start of Disney/Pixar's 'Elio.' The 'How to Train Your Dragon' remake is dropping 58% from its opening weekend for a 10-day domestic total of $159 million. It needs to pass $217 million to become the top domestic grossing film in the 'HTTYD' franchise before inflation adjustment. With families flocking to the familiar face of the dragon Toothless on the big screen, Pixar's 'Elio' is having a harder time drumming up interest as an original animated film with just $9 million earned on its opening day from 3,750 theaters. As a result, its $20 million estimated opening weekend has passed the $29.6 million opening of 'Elemental' for the lowest opening ever for a Pixar film. If this result holds, 'Elio' would have a lower opening weekend than the $22 million that last year's 'Inside Out 2' made in just its first Monday in U.S. theaters following its $154.2 million opening weekend. While Disney was hoping for an opening closer to what 'Elemental' earned, the poor start of that film followed by its lengthy box office run has prepared them and theaters for the possibility of a rebound for 'Elio.' And the good news is that like 'Elemental,' reception for 'Elio' has been very strong with an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score and an A from audiences on CinemaScore. For Disney, the hope now is that this strong audience buzz will reach the ears of audiences who either don't have 'Elio' on their movie radar or went to go see 'How to Train Your Dragon' first will come back around to see this original film based on its word-of-mouth, particularly during Fourth of July weekend. Things are looking better for '28 Years Later,' Sony/Columbia's legacyquel to Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's famed 2002 horror film '28 Days Later.' The $30-31 million start is consistent with pre-release box office tracking and puts it on pace for a decent theatrical run against its $60 million budget. The bigger question is whether this film will drum up enough sustained interest for Boyle and Garland to turn it into a trilogy. The second installment, '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' is set to come out this winter, but the third film has yet to be greenlit. While critics have praised the film with a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, its more cerebral nature and unexpected tonal shifts have left audiences mixed with a 66% RT audience score and a B on CinemaScore. Whether that causes its theatrical run to be more frontloaded remains to be seen.
