The wait is finally over for fans of the superhero college drama. Jaz Sinclair has officially joined the final season of The Boys as her Gen V character, Marie Moreau. But before anyone expects the blood-bending student to save the day by herself, showrunner Eric Kripke wants to set clear expectations about her role in the Prime Video series finale.
The connection between the two shows has been building since the end of Gen V Season 2. That finale showed Marie and her friends joining Starlight’s (Erin Moriarty) underground resistance against Homelander’s (Antony Starr) government. Now that The Boys Season 5 is here, audiences get to see how that setup pays off. However, Kripke has made it clear that the original characters remain the main focus of the ending.
Eric Kripke Explains Why Marie Won’t Take Over The Final Season
The creator of The Boys recently shared his thoughts on including the younger supes from Gen V. He explained that while Marie and her friends will appear, their roles are designed to support the main story, not replace it. Kripke told ScreenRant that the Gen V characters show up before the season ends, but they are part of a larger group fighting alongside Starlight’s army.
“The last thing I would want is for people to feel like, ‘I have to go back and watch Gen V now as homework to understand what’s happening in The Boys.’ And by the way, the reverse is true. I don’t want The Boys to be so all over Gen V that those characters aren’t foregrounded.” – Eric Kripke
Kripke also made an important point about the storytelling. He does not want the Gen V kids to come in and save the season. The show has followed Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and the original team for five years, and Kripke wants to finish their story properly. He told SFX magazine that while watching the spin-off gives extra context, it is not required to understand the main plot of The Boys Season 5.
Jaz Sinclair Teases Marie’s Role While Keeping Major Spoilers Secret
Jaz Sinclair recently opened up about her experience joining the main show. The actress, who plays the powerful blood-bender, shared her excitement with The Hollywood Reporter. She called The Boys the “mothership” and said she felt very lucky to be part of its final chapter. Sinclair confirmed that her Gen V co-star London Thor, who plays Jordan Li, also filmed scenes for the final season.
When asked directly about Marie’s part in taking down Homelander, Sinclair chose her words with care. She understands why fans have been guessing about her character’s importance. The ending of Gen V Season 2 spent a lot of time discussing how powerful Marie is, with some characters comparing her abilities directly to Homelander’s.
“I definitely see why people were speculating about me being on the show, and hopefully they’ll be very thrilled with what we filmed.” – Jaz Sinclair
Sinclair mentioned that she is excited to meet the larger fanbase of The Boys. She knows that some people watching Season 5 may be meeting Marie for the first time, and she hopes those new viewers will welcome her character into the franchise family.
What To Expect From Marie Moreau In The Boys Season 5
According to Kripke, Marie provides what he calls “crucial assists” in the final season. The story picks up about six months after the events of Gen V Season 2. The world is now fully under Homelander’s control, and there is an active underground resistance. Marie and her friends from Godolkin University are now fugitives working with this resistance.
Reports confirm that several Gen V characters appear in the final season. Alongside Marie, Jordan Li (London Thor) has filmed scenes. Other supes from the college spin-off, including Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway) , Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) , and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) , are also part of the resistance storyline.
Kripke told Entertainment Weekly that the connection between the two shows is not accidental. Gen V Season 2 directly leads into The Boys Season 5. However, Marie’s role is simplified to fit the story without overwhelming new viewers. The crossover is designed to reward fans who have watched both shows while keeping the main story clear for everyone else.

Gen V Season 2 Release and Viewership Affects Franchise Future
Gen V Season 2 released its first three episodes on September 17, 2025, with new episodes arriving weekly until the finale on October 22, 2025 . The season ended with Marie, Jordan, Emma, Sam, and Cate leaving Godolkin University as fugitives. They joined the resistance movement led by Starlight and A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) against Homelander’s rule.
The future of the Gen V series beyond Season 2 depends on how many people watch. Kripke told TheWrap in October 2025 that there is a plan for Gen V Season 3, but it needs enough viewers to make it happen. He urged fans to watch the show on Prime Video rather than waiting, because the streaming service pays attention to current numbers.
Prime Video has not yet confirmed a third season of Gen V. The show’s continuation remains tied to how well Season 2 performs. For now, fans can see Marie and the other Godolkin University students in The Boys Season 5, which premiered on April 8, 2026, with new episodes releasing weekly on the platform.
