In keeping with creator Robert Kirkman’s promise not to keep fans waiting, Invincible revealed some star-studded additions to it anticipated third season before its February premiere on Prime Video.
Together with Steven Yeun and JK Simmons Invincible season three is (deep breath) Aaron Paul and Jonathan Banks on Breaking Bad fame; Shang-Chi himself, Simu Liu; Kate Mara (she is Sue Storm in Fantastic Four movie we didn’t mention); Blue beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña, the incomparable John DiMaggio (Futurama)Tzi Ma (rain)Doug Bradley (Pinhead from Hellraiser), and Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth, The Monkey).
Instead of leaving InvincibleThe pop-culture crossover event-worthy cast announcement at that time, Prime Video also revealed who the new lineup of Hollywood actors will play from Kirkman’s best-selling graphic novels. Here’s a quick rundown of who they are, their superpowers, and their allegations in relation to the guardians of the world and Invincible himself, Mark Grayson.
- Powerplex (Paul): A new villain with an emotional past, Powerplex absorbs energy—allowing him to use an enemy’s energy against them. And that enemy is invincible.
- Becky Duvall (Mara): With a deep hatred for the Invincible, Becky works with the Powerplex to bring justice that she believes has been denied.
- The Elephant (DiMaggio): A serious villain with a serious name and a serious look. He wants the world to stop eating meat. Maybe he wants other things too. It didn’t matter as long as he was serious… about someone. Please.
- mr. Liu (Ma): Beneath this sleazy exterior, he is the ruthless leader of The Order—an international crime syndicate. But that’s not all this mysterious old man is hiding.
- Fightmaster & Dropkick (Maridueña): Twins fighting for freedom from a chaotic future, they are willing to risk everything in a desperate quest to save their world.
- Oliver Grayson (Convery): Mark’s younger brother was a child last time we saw him, but when you’re half Viltrumite and half Thraxan, you grow up fast.
- Multi-Paul (Liu): An elite assassin for the secret criminal organization of Mr. Liu, Multi-Paul took the opposite path to his sister Dupli-Kate. But blood is thicker than water…
See how Invincible is an animated series where villains and heroes alike could bite the dust at any moment, here’s hoping the new cast members can hone their voice acting chops before their characters will be 86’d in grand and gory fashion. If their passing happens, we will certainly create a memorial for them with Mark’s classic yellow and blue supersuit.
