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.

The idea to bring in Jensen Ackles for a brief cameo came from the early drafts of the script. Originally, the cameo was meant for Taylor Lautner, but the producers thought it would be a great opportunity to include Soldier Boy from "The Boys." Ackles agreed to the cameo and even improvised several funny lines during filming.

The producers mentioned that they had shot a lot of additional footage, including numerous euphemisms for masturbation. The producers also hint at the personal reasons behind Dean Shetty's desire to create a deadly virus for supes. They explain that she has a traumatic history with superheroes and is a behavioral psychologist specializing in superheroes.

Her motivations will be explored further as the season progresses.

In terms of future episodes, the producers tease that viewers will see more of Sam now that he has joined the group. They also suggest that Luke may make another appearance before the end of the season, although they don't provide concrete details. As for "The Boys" cameos, the producers confirm that Victoria Newman will appear in the final two episodes. They hint at the possibility of other surprises as well, leaving viewers eager to see what's to come.
