Really attached to his series, Jared Padalecki reacted emotionally to Walker's cancellation. While at first it was disappointment that prevailed, anger quickly took over for the American actor. In a recent interview for Varietythe latter returned to what he thought of the new content broadcast by the channel:
They just change the channel, soon it won't really be a TV network anymore, but more ” here's something to keep you entertained for an hourwhich you will never watch again, but which you will watch anyway. And it's cheap!
Incidentally, the 41-year-old actor makes a bitter observation about the CW's new strategy:
And I hate to say this, but I'm just being honest. And at the same time, they can't fire me again. So, just being brutally honest, I think they are looking to make easy and cheap content with which they can fill the time slots without difficulty.
About to join The Boys
Obviously, in view of these events, Jared Padaleck was also asked about his future plans.. He, who saw himself continuing Walker for countless seasons, was somewhat stunned following the cancellation of said series. But fortunately for him, the actor was able to bounce back quickly and will most likely join the cast of season 5 of The Boys. There, he will reunite with Eric Kripke, a screenwriter he once knew with Supernatural and who now works on the satirical superhero series for Prime Video. The author had been wanting to add his former collaborator to the Homelander universe for a while, but until then, his contract with the CW had prevented him from doing so.
A great opportunity to reform the duo that the actor then formed with Jensen Ackles. In supernaturalthe two played an inseparable and fan-favorite pair of brothers. Indeed, even if the Soldier Boy actor is in the background in this fourth season of The Boys, There is a good chance that the super-powered soldier will return in a fifth and final season.. At this time, there is no information about what role the former CW star could play. But we trust the showrunners to make his appearance memorable. In the meantime, the fourth season of The Boys is still streaming on Prime Video. You can also find our opinion on episode 5 in this article.
