In the latest episode of The Winchesters, the appearance of an angel has left fans puzzled. Richard Speight Jr., known for his portrayal of Gabriel, the trickster archangel, in Supernatural, has returned to the prequel spin-off in a cameo role. However, it is unclear whether he is playing Gabriel or Loki, the Norse god. Gabriel, the fourth archangel, was known for his mischievous nature and skill at disguises.

To escape the drama in heaven, he often posed as the trickster god, Loki. In The Winchesters, Speight's character could be either Gabriel pretending to be Loki or Loki himself. Jensen Ackles, who plays Dean Winchester, has hinted that both characters may be present in the episode, causing turmoil in the situation. However, looking at Speight's performance, it aligns more with Loki's explosive anger and fashion sense, suggesting that he may be playing the Norse god.

While the true nature of Speight's character remains a mystery, it reflects the trickster's nature to keep audiences guessing. If both Gabriel and Loki are indeed in the episode, it would be an impressive move by the trickster and an exciting opportunity to explore their relationship and Gabriel's integration with humanity. Speight's appearance in The Winchesters follows the trend of Supernatural character returns in the prequel series. Fans are eager to see how his character unfolds and interacts with the Winchester brothers.
