‘Supernatural’ season 9: Photos of Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins coming soon
When you are on series like “Supernatural” you have an opportunity to be exposed to a rather wide audience of young fans. However, the negative flip side of this is that you don’t always get the opportunity to do promotional photo shoots every season which can really limit your exposure.
However, with some changes coming for many of their shows, the network is putting out some new promotional material with many of their programs. One of them? “Supernatural,” now heading into its ninth season. With Misha Collins now back as a series regular, this creates a whole new opportunity for there to be some publicity images to shoot, and then share with some fans eager for anything season 9 related. (All story hints for now are on lockdown, and will likely remain in such a way until around the time of Comic-Con next month.)
The good news on this photo shoot was revealed by Suzanne Gomez from the network on Twitter:
“#Supernatural fans! You will be happy to know we have a marketing shoot set up for Jared, Jensen and Misha. New promos, new pics!”
With the news that Misha is going to be featured in all of the marketing materials alongside Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, it looks as though the character really will be given top billing in much of the same way as the leads. Sometimes, getting this promotion does not really mean anything more than a guarantee that the show will have you for a year, and you still get the same amount of screen time. (This happened this past season on “Once Upon a Time” with Meghan Ory.)

I personally can’t wait for season 9 and am thrilled misha will have a larger part of the show, he does so much for everyone not only with the random acts of kindness organization but just by him being him. I love everyone on the show and give major props to the casting director!

Big fan of Misha/Cas, but leaving Jared’s name off the title of this article is just wrong.

Wow, you could have add jared name, you’re making wank among the fans for nothing, it will have take you 2 sec … Jared & jensen are still the leads of the shos, and it’s cool misha a regular too but doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put all their names in the title then ! way to go for someone supposed to be neutral !

I don’t understand why certain people hate so much the fact that Misha/Cas is considered an important member of Supernatural cast. Ok, the story is about the two bros, but in a show there are other important characters beside the main characters, and in Supernatural Cas is one of them! Personally, Cas is one of the reasons why I watch this show. I love him with all my heart. I love Cas. I love Misha. And put your mind at rest.. Misha’ll be regualr in season 9. F**k the haters!!!

I’m surprised that Jared’s name was left out of the title of this article considering him and Jensen are the leads of this show. I like Misha Collins but it’s also important to consider that he has shot promotional material before and still wasn’t given top billing. I enjoy Castiel’s character but the show is ultimately about the two brothers and it’s a little rude to leave one of the two leads out of the title when you’re including the other one and a series regular.

Absolutely thrilled that we are going to be getting new promos and pics with all three team free will members but especially Castiel, he is the reason why I become a fan of the show and he deserves it. Love Sam and Dean but Castiel stole my heart the minute he walked through those barn doors with sparks flying! The more Castiel the happier Ill be:D thank CW for our amazing angel of Thursday!!

It is a bit surprising that Jared’s name was left off the headline, but I’m SO very excited that we’re getting new promo photos. :) I love all three actors, and as a huge fan of Misha, I’m positively thrilled he’s a regular again! Go Team Free Will!

So happy to see we’re getting new pictures! The photoshopped posters (and DVD cover) for Season 8 were dreadful. Some more recent ones will be much appreciated.

Also some of you act like Misha has never been a regular.

Umm… No. Misha has been in promo before. He’s still not a lead like Jensen and Jared. Nice try.

Yeah! New pictures :D It’s about time, too. And I’m really happy that’s Misha’s included in the new promo material, and that’s they finally made him a regular again. Here’s hoping that means lots and lots of Cas. I also hope the promo material will have the three of them in all different variations, mix them up a little, especially because this might be the last promos/pics we’ll ever get with only one (possible) season left after S9. Last but not least: Let’s hope they don’t photoshop the new pics too badly this time. I want Jensen’s freckles to stay, thank you very much.

I’m so excited that Misha is going to be in the promo pics this year, and that he’s a regular! I can’t wait to see what the pics look like! I do wish Jared’s name had been in the title of the article. I love all 3 of them, Sam, Dean and Cas.

Love Misha, but Jared&Jensen always gonna be the leads and it bugs me that Jared’s not mentioned in the title. Nevertheless, Jared&Jensen remains the leads, so who cares? ..

Could not be happier to have Misha back as regular top billing alongside Jared & Jensen. So thrilled to be looking forward at last to new SPN promo material featuring the amazing chemistry of all three talented leads. Perhaps for the first time we may also be treated to a Jensen & Misha combo, to acknowledge Dean & Cas’s profound bond as well as Sam & Dean’s brotherly love.
S9 with our beloved Team Free Will can’t come soon enough!
You're an idiot
June 21, 2013 @ 9:32 pm
OMG. Shut up. Misha is NOT a lead. And please, no to any photo shoots with just Jensen and Misha.
Joels K
June 21, 2013 @ 11:12 pm
OMG. You really made a mature and convincing argument with that lame insult, not. But no dice, not shutting up. Clearly Misha IS considered as much lead material, as he IS going to feature in the new S9 promo material. And as proven by swift sell out convention panels & photo ops, Jensen with Misha is as winning a combo as with Jared. All three are awesome together and there’s absolutely no reason all fans shouldn’t get a little of what they love.

Jensen and Misha? excuse me THE LEADS of the show are JARED PADALECKI and JENSEN ACKLES despite Collins is regular or not. So correct the title please an stop embarrasing yourself

This is excellent news! I am thrilled that Supernatural is back for a ninth season and that Mr. Collins is now a series regular. He and his character certainly deserve the recognition. It’s almost too bad they didn’t realize sooner the real potential they had with both Mr. Collins and Castiel. Several years of completely wasted potential to grow the character and the fandom, but that is neither here nor there. New promotional pictures have been needed for three years now so I am glad someone finally made that decision.
For those who have made comments about Mr. Padaleki’s name being absent from the headline. I don’t think there was room to list all three. Typically headlines such as these have a character limit, though I am not certain about this particular site. Also it makes sense to put the two names with the highest SEO in the title. I’m sorry if this offends, but it’s simply how the internet works on a business level. This does not in any way diminish Mr. Padaleki’s star status or his importance to the show.

You sound like an arrogant sort – Jared is one of the stars of the show and should not be left out at all – in fact if anyone should go it should be Misha as he is a later addition – but hey whatever floats your boat!

Soo. . . they’re arrogant because the know facts? That makes total sense. Just tossing that out there as an observation.
Davonne Burns
June 22, 2013 @ 12:00 am
My comment was not meant to be exclusionary of Mr. Padaleki and I even stated so in my last sentence. I was simply giving possible reasons his name was not in the headline. Mr. Padaleki is most certainly one of the stars of the show as is Mr. Collins. Mr. Padaleki was not excluded from the article, merely the headline.
In case you are unfamiliar with terminology SEO is Search Engine Optimization, it is what your Google, Bing or Yahoo uses to find articles you want as quickly as possible.
I apologize if I confused you.

Excellent point of view, I agree with you 100%, Misha/Castiel was the best thing to happen to SPN in my opinion :) Castiel is an amazing character and brings so much to the show.
Davonne Burns
June 22, 2013 @ 3:24 am
I wholeheartedly agree. Casitel has brought a wonderful dynamic to the show and helped the brothers become even closer with each other while learning to rely on others.

Oh my God, finally! Lack of Misha always makes me nervous. He is SPN star too, and I love his character, the way he plays Castiel…Thank you, CW!

Yay, so happy we’re getting new promotional pics with all three, Jared, Jensen, and Misha. (Am assuming Jared missing in the headline was a typo, since the article mentions all 3).
Even while SPN is Sam and Dean’s story as the center, it can be about other things in addition to that. Speaking as a long-time fan, I love what Castiel and Misha have added to the show and am delighted that the promotion is going to include him more now that he’s been made a regular again. (No amount of shouting on the internet is going to make me care *only* about Sam and Dean or feel that Cas/Misha hasn’t earned his spot on the show and in the Winchesters extended family).

I can’t wait to see the new promo pics. It’s been so long since we’ve had new ones, I’m just head over heels thrilled. Thank you again CW! Misha, Jensen and Jared pictures/promos are going to be wonderful.

I am kind of surprised that you left Jared’s name out of the article’s title, but I did very much enjoy the article!
I’m extremely excited that Supernatural is finally doing new promotional pictures and I’m really looking forward to seeing the pictures of Misha, Jensen, and Jared.
As a huge fan of Team Free Will, I’m crossing my fingers for pictures of all three of them together. And just being greedy, I’d also love some pictures of Misha and Jensen to go along with pictures of Jensen and Jared.
I know it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will happen, but I would love to see Misha given top billing and lots more episodes and scenes in Season 9! I adore Jared and Jensen and completely respect their status as the show’s leads, but I’m such a huge fan of Misha and more Misha is always better for me!
I love Sam and Dean, but Castiel is the reason why I started watching Supernatural and a huge reason that I’ll continue watching Supernatural.

The STARS of this particular show are JARED PADALECKI AND JENSEN ACKLES. Misha Collins is NOT the star. The show is NOT about Dean & Cas. Change the stupid title of this. No one cares about a guest star. We want to see pics of Jared & Jensen.

Incorrect. Misha has been made a series regular for season nine. He is no longer a guest star.

1. Actually the LEADS of this show are Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Misha Collins may not be a lead, but him being the star of the show is probably dependent on who you ask. While Jensen and Jared, who are wonderful actors, terrific people, and great men are the stars of the show for you, Misha is just as much as star for me and one large reason I started and continue watching Supernatural. And Misha is a regular again in Season 9, which makes a lot of sense to include him in promotional pictures.
3. The show actually is a little bit about Dean and Cas, and Dean and Sam, and Dean, and Sam, and Cas, and also about monsters, and angels, and demons, and Crowley, and all kinds of other supernatural creatures and elements. It’s a show about brothers, but also about family, about love, about free will and fate and destiny and so many other cool things too.
4. It is kind of a little rude to order someone to change the title of their article and call it stupid, isn’t it? That came off rude to me, anyway. Don’t know if you intended it to be that way or not, but there are probably much nicer ways to say what you were wanting to say.
5. As has already been pointed out, Misha is no longer a guest star since he is returning to his status as regular character in Season 9. However even still saying that “No one” cares about a guest star is a rather broad and incorrect statement. Whether he’s a regular or a guest star, there are legions of fans that love Misha Collins. I’m not trying to say that everyone does-I’m well aware that some people such as yourself highly dislike this amazing man for some reason, but the fact remains that he is a very well-loved actor and part of Supernatural, and Castiel is a popular character on the show.
Furthermore, other people that have been guest stars on this show have also be quite cared about. Jim Beaver, Mark Sheppard, Amanda Tapping, Felicia Day, Richard Speight Jr…I could really go on all day. I mean Richard Speight Jr was only in 4 episodes or something like that, hasn’t been on the show at all since Season 5 and people still love him and still ask for his character to return. So even apart from Misha’s large number of fans, I’d say that guest stars are most definitely cared about.
6. I’m quite certain that you’ll get to see pictures of Jared and Jensen. I think that a very large majority of people want to see pictures of these two. So why begrudge others that also want to see pictures of Jared, Jensen, and Misha or pictures of Jensen & Misha? I don’t understand. But I most certainly hope that there are some fabulous pictures of Jensen and Jared for you.
You're stupid

You are correct in the sense that Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are the stars. However, you are incorrect to say that Misha isn’t a star. If you’re simply going off the basis of who the main character is, it would simply be Jensen since Dean is the main POV of the show. Sam just has events happen to him to “make” Dean react and move along the plot.
Robin Vogel
June 21, 2013 @ 1:16 am
As long as Jared continues to star in the show and he and Jensen are the two main stars, I’m fine with Misha joining the show.

Pretty crappy to leave Jared’s name off your title. “Jensen and Misha…” Yeah Jared’s name only comes first on the credits no need to include him on the title.
