What's Happening?
Prime Video has released a new trailer for the second season of 'Gen V' during San Diego Comic-Con, highlighting the challenges faced by Marie and her friends as they return to Godolkin University. The trailer reveals that Marie, who has been living as a drifter, is saved by Starlight, a former member of The Boys, who asks her to investigate a project called 'Odessa' linked to the school's founder. The project appears to involve Marie's blood powers, which could potentially make her stronger than Homelander. The new dean, Cipher, who was present at their prison, might be attempting to restart the project on campus.
