The fervent fans of Supernatural couldn't contain their excitement as the cast gathered for their latest reunion, a thrill that was only heightened when a playful dig at President Donald Trump ignited a rousing response from the rambunctious crowd. Former co-stars Misha Collins, Kathryn Newton, Jim Beaver, Rob Benedict, and show director Richard Speight Jr. took the stage at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil, on Thursday, to celebrate two decades of the series that first aired in 2006.
The reunion was a sight to behold, with fans packing the floor of the São Paulo Expo to catch a glimpse of their favorite program's team. The crowd's enthusiasm was palpable, with frequent cheers and even a rendition of Kansas' "Carry on Wayward Son" during the event's introduction, the classic rock tune that had become a signature song for the show.
As Collins, known for his role as Castiel, took the stage, he addressed the crowd with a wry comment. "When we're back home in the U.S., nobody pays any attention to us anymore," he said. "But here, there must be a lag or something because you still know what Supernatural is." The actor then delivered a politically charged response to a fan question that sent shockwaves through the crowd.
When asked by someone in the audience what kind of monster they would want to face, Newton, who recurred as Claire on the series, chose dragons. Collins, seizing the moment, commented on the current presidential administration. "You mean what kind of an evil monster character would we want to go up against?" he asked for clarification. "I think it'd be fun to take on Donald Trump."
This remark sparked a significant cheer from the onlookers, leading Collins to add, "We've found our people. So, not a big MAGA crowd here?" The moderator chose to ignore his remarks and promptly moved on to a video portion of the event. Earlier in the conversation, the moderator had asked Newton what she would imagine Claire might be doing if the character were to ever get a spinoff. "I'm sure Claire's out there, still kicking ass and taking names," Newton responded. "There's always going to be monsters, and somebody's always got to find them."
