Jaz Sinclair is ready for the world to see her involvement with the fifth and final season of The Boys.

The 31-year-old actress joined the Amazon franchise in 2023 via its first extension, the superhero college saga Gen V, where she portrays Marie Moreau. As the lead of the series, much of the contents of its first and second installment have centered around Maries mammoth powers of hemokinesis, which came to a new turning point at the end of season two.

With the final season of The Boys (aka the mothership, says Sinclair) about to fly onto the streamer on Wednesday, Sinclairs Marie will pop up, which was much speculated by the audience. But to what extent is still unknown, and was only recently confirmed with another trailer. I definitely see why people were speculating about me being on the show, Sinclair tells The Hollywood Reporter, continuing, and hopefully theyll be very thrilled with what we filmed.

With Sinclair standing as a fixture of Gen V, she could be positioned as the main leading lady of the wider franchise as The Boys nears its end. In the interim, as Amazon has not yet renewed Gen V for a third season and viewers wait to watch Maries story unfold on the fifth season of the original superhero series, Sinclair is gearing up for her Boys debut and looking forward to what her career holds next.

Below, Sinclair teases her appearance on the highly anticipated fifth season of The Boys, what shes heard about the future of Gen V, her plans for new music to release soon and which filmmakers shed love to work with (on a movie, specifically) next.

What made you want to pursue acting?

I have always loved stories and storytelling more than anything, but Ive also always been really fascinated with human behavior and tendencies and nuance and relationships. Ever since I was a kid, I always just watched people very closely. I think when I realized that acting was a thing, it just felt natural to try it on. Then I ended up loving it so much that I havent stopped.

You are also a musical artist. Which of the two art forms do you feel you can better express yourself, music or acting?

I feel like they show different aspects. Like in acting, youre showing your eyes, the windows to your soul. Youre showing your internal world visually and emotionally. Whereas with music, I really get to say what I feel. I feel like I express me, Jasmine, more through music, but I still love the expression of acting. Its just a totally different experience.

Last year, you teased that you have another album entitled Selkie on the way. What is the status of the album?

Were making a short film out of it, actually. We did the first leg of shooting already. We have a couple more shoot days left to do, and its a visual album that follows Selkie folklore, and basically the journey of heartbreak and losing yourself and being away from home too long, and then coming home, and what that feels like. The music hasnt come out yet because I want to release them in tandem. I am going to release a song next month that Im really excited about. Its called Miss Pathetic, and its about the sacred art of pining.

As your career continues to grow, do you see yourself continuing to expand more so with music or acting, or will you continue to do both?

Honestly, hopefully both. I really love to perform, and its just the most rewarding thing ever when somebody like comes up to me or sends me a message and is like, Hey, this song helped get me through a hard time. I just think its so rewarding to be able to impact people like that. And I know in my life when things are hard, music is where I turn. To be able to pay that forward a little bit feels really good.

You said youre making a short film attached to the album. Are you involved in the filmmaking process?

Yes!

What has the behind the scenes looked like for that?

Its been crazy. Ive never done this before. Im producing it. My friend Jewells Santos is an incredible director, and she and I wrote it together. Being behind the scenes is such a different experience, because you have to be the engine that keeps things moving in a different way. Im really grateful to have to be getting this experience on the producing side of things.

You have starred in Gen V and also Chilling Adventures of Sabrina which are two dark, horror-adjacent projects. Do you see yourself continuing to stay in this horror realm, or is there another genre that youd like to move into next with your career?

Well, whats funny is, I dont like horror at all. I like magic and I like heightened reality and dark things. Both shows kind of dipped their toe between humor and darkness, and I really like that sweet spot. I dont think that Ill only do horror forever, because I dont like being covered in sticky blood. What I really want to do is a romance. I would really love to do a great romance or something in the fantasy world. I have so much trouble leaving magic, but I just love it so much. Something where I have, like, eleven ears in a field somewhere green would be really fun for me.

That is parallel to the superhero franchise that you are part of with Gen V and now The Boys. What is something about being an actor as a part of a superhero franchise that you think would surprise people?

My brain immediately went to all the stunt training we have to do. The amount of time and work and training and practice that it takes to put together one fight sequence. It was really cool and exciting and fun, but its a lot of work. And I think that when you watch [the show,] it all just looks easy and seamless. Theres just so many moving parts involved and pulleys and stunt coordination.

There was a lot of speculation that your character, Marie, and other characters from Gen V would pop up in this fifth, final season of The Boys, and that was confirmed when the most recent trailer dropped. What was your reaction when you learned you would be featured on the final season of The Boys?

Oh, my gosh. Well, Im such a fan of The Boys, obviously. We call it the mothership. Its such an excellent show, and I know a lot of those guys now at this point because we just cross paths, and theyre all so lovely. So when I found out that I was gonna get to be on the show, I just felt so grateful, truly, because its such an incredible feat, the show that they made, and to get to be a part of that is so cool. I just felt really lucky and very excited.

The most recent season of Gen V ended, once again, positioning Marie as the most powerful supe in this whole Boys universe as somebody who could potentially go head to head and finally bring down Homelander. Do you think that the ending of season two of Gen V puts a lot of pressure on what the audience may expect to come from Maries time on The Boys season five?

Yeah, it probably does. I mean, they spend a lot of time talking about how powerful I am and whats possible, and the comparisons between me and Homelander. So yeah, I definitely see why people were speculating about me being on the show, and hopefully theyll be very thrilled with what we filmed.

What are you most looking forward to when the audience can finally see what Maries story will be on The Boys season five?

Im excited to meet this fanbase, because theres a lot of crossover between the fans of The Boys and Gen V, but its also just a different fan base. Im really excited to see what they all think, and if theyre excited. I really am just happy to be a part of it.

If a fan of The Boys who has not seen Gen V is now being introduced to your character, what would you ask of them as they get introduced to Marie and learn how powerful she is as a character?

I would ask them to love her. No, shes amazing. I just love getting to play Marie so much, and I feel like she does fit into The Boys universe. The shows have different tones, but they both have a certain amount of cynicism, a certain amount of hope, and Marie is no exception to that. I would hope that they would just welcome me right into the family.

Is there anything else that you can tease of your appearance on The Boys season five?

I cant say anything. I wish I could. I can say that London [Thor] was there with me, Jordan [from Gen V,] whos also in the trailer, and we had a lot of fun filming together. Thats about all I can say.

Season two of Gen V wrapped in October, but theres been no word yet on a potential third season. Have you heard anything about the future of the show, and if it does get renewed, what hopes do you have for the rest of Maries story?

I have not. I dont know anything as far as what the future holds. Honestly, they do such a great job with my character. They start me somewhere and they end me somewhere else entirely. And so I would hope that continues, whatever kind of arc it is. In this second season, we got to see Marie make some bad choices and listen to the wrong people, and I always love that in a character. I never want to play characters who are perfect and two dimensional and not flawed. I really look for characters who fuck up, because we fuck up. I just would hope that they keep doing what theyre doing, which is giving me so much good material to work with.

If you could have any superpower as yourself, not your character Marie, what would you choose?

Teleportation.

Do you have a dream filmmaker or creative that you would like to work with at some point?

Chlo Zhao. I watched Hamnet and was like, this is the most beautiful thing that Ive ever seen. Shes just incredible. Ive been watching so many interviews of her, and I just feel like I agree with her philosophy on being a soul and a body on the planet. I also am a big Paul Thomas Anderson fan, and then a lot of my heroes are comedy ladies. Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, that gang. I would just love to work with them.

Do you have a favorite TV show or movie right now?

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. I am so into it. I just started season four. I had just finished season three, like, two days ago, and I watched the reunion episode in all its chaotic glory. I just love it so much.

If you had to describe what makes Jaz Sinclair, Jaz Sinclair, what would you say?

A deep sensitivity. Im just a very sensitive person, and I always have been, and I think its why Ive been drawn to the arts. I think its why Im able to empathize with people and express. But it also makes my human experience really cool because Im sensitive in all of the ways; texturally, visually, auditorily, all of those things. Thats just what its like to be me. Id say deeply sensitive.

What else is next for you? What is to come?

I would really love to do a movie next. Ive just been reading a bunch of scripts and auditioning and trying to find something that Im truly excited about. I feel like Ive had the privilege in my career of playing really fucking cool characters. And when I booked Gen V, I was like, this is the coolest character in the world. And so just trying to keep that excitement through my career [by] choosing stuff that lights me up like that. Hopefully the next thing you see me in is a movie that I am obsessed with. Thatd be cool.
