Gen V Season 2 Trailer Reveals A Major Boys Character Recruiting Marie To Stop A Deadly New Weapon

The official Gen V season 2 trailer has debuted, and it reveals a major character from The Boys recruiting Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair). Gen V season 1 ended with Marie and her friends captured by Vought, although the season 2 teaser trailer previously showed that Marie, Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), and Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh) are back at Godolkin University.

Due to the real-life tragedy of Chance Perdomo’s death, his character, Andre Anderson, Gen V season 2 was rewritten with Andre having passed away between seasons. His father, Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas), is determined to learn the truth about what happened to his son.

At Gen V season 2’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, where ScreenRant was in attendance, Prime Video debuted the official trailer, which shows The Boys‘ Annie January/Starlight (Erin Moriarty) recruiting Marie. After saving Marie from another supe, Annie explains that she needs Marie to return to Godolkin University to learn about and stop a deadly research initiative called Project Odessa.

Annie reveals that Project Odessa was created by Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater), who will have a recurring role in season 2. Meanwhile, Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater) believes that Marie is his weapon, and she uses this to try to discover the truth about Project Odessa. There are also glimpses of the Deep (Chace Crawford) and Black Noir II (Nathan Mitchell). Check out the trailer below:

What This Means For Gen V Season 2

Season 2 Will Be Deeply Connected To The Boys Season 5

With Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) being part of Homelander’s army in The Boys, Gen V season 2 was already poised to be deeply connected to the main show. However, the most important connection is the surprising appearance of Annie and her mission for Marie.

Gen V will still primarily focus on Marie and her friends at Godolkin University, but the stakes of stopping Project Odessa go far beyond them. The research is not only a danger to the supes at Godolkin, but has the potential to be used by Homelander to destroy all who oppose him, making it all the more imperative that Marie and her friends stop it.

Building on the teaser trailer, there is new footage of Polarity, who has been promoted to a series regular for season 2. Andre’s passing is seemingly tied to Project Odessa, which gives Polarity plenty of motivation to work with his son’s friends to expose the truth and stop the research from being used for nefarious purposes.

Our Take On The Official Gen V Season 2 Trailer

Gen V Season 2 Is Exciting On Many Levels

Gen V season 2 was already one of my most anticipated shows still to come in 2025, and the official trailer and new reveals only elevate my excitement. Prior to The Boys season 5, Gen V is providing the best look yet at the U.S. ruled by Homelander, and the efforts being made to stop him.

A compelling theory about The Boys season 5 sets up a powerful supe turning against Homelander, and Gen V season 2 could show us how it happens.

There is a high level of connectivity between the two shows, and exciting new additions like Slater, but there is still plenty of heart and coming-of-age focus on Marie and her peers. Polarity being a series regular is also a great sign that Gen V season 2 will not brush over Andre’s death and will honor Perdomo.
