SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for Episode 6 of "Gen V," titled "Jumanji" now streaming on Amazon's Prime Video. This week's episode of "Gen V" featured the highly anticipated cameo of Jensen Ackles' character Soldier Boy from "The Boys." Soldier Boy appears in Cate's fractured mind, providing guidance to Marie, Andre, and Jordan as they navigate through her memories. The producers reveal that the Jensen Ackles cameo was their second idea, with the first being a dream guide played by Taylor Lautner.
However, they ultimately decided on Ackles' character due to his connection to Cate as her first crush and the object of her first masturbation session. The majority of the episode takes place in Cate's mind, revealing her traumatic childhood memories and the dark choices made by the other characters. The producers explain that they chose this format to explore the reasons behind Cate's actions and to show that no character is without sin.
They wanted to explore how the characters would deal with their past mistakes.
