Jaz Sinclair on ‘The Boys,’ ‘Gen V,’ and Her Creative Journey

Jaz Sinclair is poised to captivate audiences with her upcoming appearance in the fifth and final season of The Boys, alongside her ongoing work in music and producing. The actress, known for her compelling portrayal of Marie Moreau in the Amazon superhero series Gen V, is ready to share what’s next.

From ‘Gen V’ to ‘The Boys’: A Superhero Crossover

Sinclair joined the The Boys franchise in 2023 with Gen V, a spin-off exploring the world of young superheroes in a college setting. Her character, Marie Moreau, possesses remarkable hemokinetic abilities, which reached a pivotal point at the end of season two. Speculation has been rife about Marie’s role in the final season of The Boys, and Sinclair recently confirmed her involvement with the release of a new trailer.

A Multifaceted Artist: Acting and Music

“I definitely see why people were speculating about me being on the show,” Sinclair tells The Hollywood Reporter, adding, “and hopefully they’ll be very thrilled with what we filmed.” Beyond her role in Gen V, Sinclair is a talented musician, currently working on a visual album titled Selkie, inspired by Selkie folklore and exploring themes of heartbreak and self-discovery. She’s also preparing to release a new song next month, “Miss Pathetic,” a poignant exploration of unrequited love.

Balancing Creative Pursuits

When asked about her preference between acting and music, Sinclair explains, “I feel like they show different aspects. In acting, you’re showing your internal world visually and emotionally. Whereas with music, I really get to say what I feel. I express myself, Jasmine, more through music, but I still love the expression of acting.” She hopes to continue pursuing both passions, finding fulfillment in the unique ways each art form allows her to connect with audiences.

Producing and Future Aspirations

Sinclair is also expanding her creative horizons into producing, taking the reins on the short film accompanying her Selkie album. “It’s been crazy,” she admits. “I’ve never done this before. Being behind the scenes is such a different experience, because you have to be the engine that keeps things moving in a different way.” She’s eager to explore new genres, expressing a desire to tackle romance or fantasy projects, and collaborating with filmmakers like Chloé Zhao and Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Demands of Superhero Roles

Reflecting on her experience in the superhero world, Sinclair reveals a surprising aspect of the genre: “The amount of time and work and training and practice that it takes to put together one fight sequence… It’s a lot of work.”

Looking Ahead: ‘The Boys’ Season 5 and Beyond

Sinclair is excited for audiences to see her character, Marie, on The Boys, hoping fans will embrace her into the show’s family. She also remains hopeful for the future of Gen V, expressing her desire for Marie’s story to continue to evolve. Ultimately, Sinclair’s goal is to continue choosing projects that ignite her passion and allow her to deliver compelling performances.

What Drives Jaz Sinclair?

When asked what made her pursue acting, Sinclair shared, “I have always loved stories and storytelling more than anything, but I’ve also always been really fascinated with human behavior and tendencies and nuance and relationships.” She describes herself as a “deeply sensitive” person, which fuels her empathy and artistic expression.
