Exclusive Interview: Gen V Cast Spills the Beans on Costumes, Codenames, and Memorable ‘The Boys’ Cameos.

The cast of The Boys’ hit spin-off, Gen V, talk about the Season 1 finale, hard choices, and where their characters end up.

It all hit the fan in Gen V’s Season 1 finale. Godolkin University turned into a bloodbath after Cate [Maddie Phillips] and Sam [Asa Germann] freed the test subjects locked away in the Woods Facility.

The supes proceeded to massacre any normal people who crossed their paths on campus. Only Marie [Jaz Sinclair], Jordan [London Thor and Derek Luh], Andre [Chance Perdomo] and Emma [Lizze Broadway] stepped up to confront their former friends. Overwhelmed and desperate, Marie’s blood-controlling abilities evolved in unexpected ways. Most notably, she could now manipulate other peoples’ blood and ultimately blew up Cate’s arm to prevent Jordan from falling under her mental spell.

The Boys’ central villain and breakout star, Homelander [Antony Starr], also dropped by and voiced his disapproval of Marie attacking her own kind. Miffed, he blasted Marie with a laser beam from his eyes. She survived, but woke up trapped in a room with no doors or windows. She wasn’t alone. Marie was trapped in the sterile room alongside Emma, Jordan, and Andre. Worse, the news media blamed them all for the bloody campus rampage. Sinclair, Thor, and Luh recently spoke to CBR about their characters’ growth, capes, and Season 2.

This whole season is a journey of self-discovery. By the end, how much closer are your characters to realizing their potential, who they are and who they want to be?

Jaz Sinclair: I think they have so much further to go, to be fair. I’m just thinking that they probably think that they are pretty far along their journey of self-discovery, because everyone kind of does at that age. But I think they have so much to learn about themselves, relationships, powers, right and wrong, and school. I think they are just getting started, honestly.

London Thor: They are right in the sweet spot, where you think you have it all together. Then, something comes along and rips the rug out from under you.

Derek Luh: When have they had any time to process this? The world has been crumbling around them.

Sinclair: That will catch up.

Jaz, Marie was forced to make some truly tough decisions in the finale. What do you believe was the point of no return, and how will she deal with the ramifications in Season 2?

Sinclair: I think blowing up Cate’s arm is a good point of no return. That friendship is pretty much over. I don’t know how you come back from that. I think Marie, for a long time, was trying to ride the middle of doing the right thing Vought’s way, but also, doing the right thing in her own way. She had to make so many snap decisions at the end. I think she’s past the point of no return.

London and Derek, what stands out as one of Jordan’s defining moments in the finale?

Thor: I feel like Jordan always had a clear sense of what was right and what was wrong, for the most part. I feel the big turning point was when they see Marie across the field. Episode 8 was clearly the, ‘‘OK, they are on the path to what they want to do and to good.’’ Love kind of trumped all.

Luh: Marie saves everybody in the helicopter and we have that moment.

Homelander and Butcher [Karl Urban] make an appearance. What other members of The Boys are you hoping to interact with in Season 2?

Thor: I don’t want to answer this. I want to see Butcher. I will add Hughie [Jack Quaid].

Sinclair: We do love Hughie and since we are choosing the path of good, it seems, we are probably aligned.

Luh: So, probably Starlight [Erin Moriarty], as well, to lead us and lead the charge.

The characters strove to become members of The Seven. What are your thoughts about adopting your own codenames and supersuits?

Thor: I want a costume.

Sinclair: I would kill for a costume.

Thor: Yours I could see in my mind.
