Invincible Season 3: Key New Characters Revealed

With Invincible Season 3 looming, Prime Video unveiled a stellar voice acting lineup. Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio as The Elephant, and Simu Liu as Multi-Paul are exciting additions. However, the most intriguing news comes in the form of two enigmatic casting choices: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), whose roles remain shrouded in mystery. Prime Video’s secrecy likely aims to protect major Season 3 plot twists.

Let's speculate on Banks and Bradley's characters and the rapidly aging Oliver Grayson.

Jonathan Banks's expertise in portraying hardened killers strongly suggests a villainous role. The most likely candidate? Conquest. Introduced in Invincible #61, Conquest is a powerful Viltrumite, even by his race's standards. His arrival follows a devastating Earth conflict, presenting Invincible with an ultimatum: conquer his homeworld or face death. Season 2 already foreshadowed this confrontation, hinting at Mark's inherited responsibility. Season 3 will likely pit Mark against Conquest in a brutal battle, highlighting Mark's youth and inexperience against a seasoned Viltrumite warrior.

Who Is Doug Bradley Playing?

While Banks seems a perfect fit for Conquest, Bradley's role remains a mystery. Known for portraying Pinhead, his casting suggests another villain. Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus, introduced in Invincible #68, or Grand Regent Thragg, from Invincible #11.

Dinosaurus, while visually cartoonish, possesses compelling motivations, seeking to heal the world from humanity's destructive impact. Bradley's voice could add gravitas to this character. Alternatively, Thragg, the Viltrumite Empire's ruler, is a powerful, ancient warrior and the main antagonist of the comic series. His introduction would be a significant event. Bradley's charisma and menace would be ideal for this role.

Christian Convery’s Oliver Grayson

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a key plot point for Season 3, with Christian Convery taking over the role to reflect Oliver's preteen appearance. Oliver's powers are manifesting early, and he'll adopt the codename Kid Omni-Man. His presence adds a significant dynamic, presenting Mark with a powerful ally but also a potential liability, increasing the stakes for Invincible.
