This just in- something for you “Supernatural” fans is coming to season 3 of Amazon’s “The Boys.” Jensen Ackles is reportedly joining the series as “The Original Superhero.”

“The Boys” showrunner Eric Kripke, who also was in the hot seat on The CW’s “Supernatural,” said in a statement:

“When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream — to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I’m happy to say that dream has come true. Jensen is an amazing actor, an even better person, smells like warm chocolate chip cookies, and I consider him a brother.

As Soldier Boy, the very first Superhero, he’ll bring so much humor, pathos and danger to the role. I can’t wait to be on set with him again, and bring a bit of Supernatural to The Boys.”

Ackles shared the news on his Instagram in a post about an hour ago.
