Invincible Season 3: New Voice Actors, Mysterious Villains, and a Growing Sidekick
Prime Video recently unveiled the impressive voice acting additions to Invincible's upcoming third season. Aaron Paul, John DiMaggio, and Simu Liu are confirmed, playing Powerplex, The Elephant, and Multi-Paul respectively. However, the most intriguing additions are the enigmatic Jonathan Banks and Doug Bradley, whose roles remain shrouded in secrecy. This strategic silence from Prime Video likely aims to preserve key plot twists.
Speculation abounds regarding Banks and Bradley's characters. Given Banks' history portraying hardened villains, Conquest, a powerful Viltrumite warrior from the comics, seems a strong contender. His role could significantly impact Mark Grayson's journey, especially given Season 2's foreshadowing of Mark inheriting his father's role as Earth's conqueror.
For Bradley, two compelling possibilities exist: Dinosaurus, an environmentally-conscious villain, or Grand Regent Thragg, the overarching antagonist of the Invincible saga. Bradley's voice could add significant depth to either character. Thragg's introduction would mark a significant development in the series' narrative.
Another significant element of Season 3 is the accelerated aging and evolving role of Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother. Christian Convery takes over the role, portraying Oliver's preteen transformation. Oliver's unique Viltrumite-Thraxan hybrid genetics grant him rapidly developing powers, leading him to adopt the moniker "Kid Omni-Man" and become a new, albeit potentially unpredictable, ally for Invincible.
The anticipation for Season 3 is palpable. The mystery surrounding the new villains and the introduction of a powerful new sidekick promise a thrilling and action-packed season. Which villain are you most excited to see?
Finally, the Invincible franchise expands into comics with the prequel Invincible: Battle Beast, set to launch in 2025.
