Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles Discuss 'Supernatural' Ending for Sam & Dean Winchester

The good (and occasionally bad) times continue to roll for Sam and Dean Winchester as Supernatural has officially been renewed for a jawdropping 12th season. But once the CW show finally skids to a halt, will the Winchesters go into the night quietly? Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have just weighed in on how their characters will go out, and it will undoubtedly be "in a blaze of glory!"

Padalecki and Ackles recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly, where they discussed how Sam and Dean will finally say goodbye to their viewers.

"If you'd asked me [during] Season 1, I would've thought that it would've been the apocalypse," Ackles, who plays the pie-loving Dean, said before stating that it probably wouldn't be the best way to go.

"But then again, you can't end the TV show with the worst thing happening," he added, musing on the several possibilities for the Winchesters.

"As we've evolved, I think that there's different roads that the show could certainly go down that would be interesting. I think we've taken some really good turns," Ackles said.

The Winchesters have definitely gone through a lot of almost-apocalypses after 11 seasons and counting. Nevertheless, Padalecki shared that he is hoping that Sam and Dean will end up paying homage to one of his favorite films.

"It's changed a lot over time," he said. "Part of me, loving Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, always thought it'd be great to see the boys against insurmountable odds and to freeze-frame on them and just hear stuff in the background.

But what happens to the Winchesters in this ending? They will certainly be getting the kind of death any hunter would be proud of.

"You don't know if they die, you don't know if they live, but you know that they're going to go out in a blaze of glory," Padalecki stated.

In the end, the man who plays the younger Winchester brother revealed that Sam and Dean should never give up without a good fight.

"The boys can't stop fighting," Padalecki said of the Winchesters. "As long as they're alive, they're not going to stop fighting. We're going to have to see them continue to do good together. I think that's what's the most important part."

The 11th season of Supernatural airs on The CW every Wednesday night.
