Prime Video Unveils Invincible Season 3's New Voice Cast, Teasing Major Story Arcs
With Invincible: Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has announced a stellar addition to the voice cast. Aaron Paul lends his voice to Powerplex, John DiMaggio portrays The Elephant, and Simu Liu voices Multi-Paul, Dupli-Kate's brother. However, the most intriguing additions remain shrouded in mystery: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) are joining the cast, but their characters remain undisclosed.
This strategic secrecy likely aims to preserve key plot twists in Season 3. Speculation is rife regarding Banks and Bradley's roles, prompting questions about other characters like Christian Convery's rapidly aging Oliver. His accelerated growth and the emergence of a new sidekick for Invincible significantly impact the narrative. Let's delve into the most anticipated new characters:
Warning: Minor comic book spoilers ahead!
Jonathan Banks as Conquest?
While Prime Video remains tight-lipped, Jonathan Banks' casting strongly suggests a specific role. His expertise in portraying hardened villains points towards Conquest, a formidable Viltrumite introduced in Invincible #61 (2009). Conquest's immense power and battle-scarred history align perfectly with Banks' acting prowess.
Season 2 hinted at this confrontation, leaving Mark Grayson grappling with his father's legacy as Earth's potential conqueror. Season 3 will likely see Mark facing Conquest in a desperate battle, testing his skills against a seasoned Viltrumite warrior.
Doug Bradley's Enigmatic Role
Doug Bradley's casting presents another intriguing puzzle. Known for his portrayal of Pinhead, his voice could lend itself to several villains. Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus (Invincible #68, 2009), a villain with contrasting motivations, aiming to heal the world from humanity's destructive impact; or Grand Regent Thragg (Invincible #11, 2004), the series' main antagonist, a powerful Viltrumite ruler.
Bradley's presence could foreshadow Thragg's introduction, even if only a brief one, hinting at Mark's ultimate adversary.
Christian Convery as Oliver Grayson: A New Sidekick Emerges
Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a pivotal plot point in Season 3, with Christian Convery taking over the role. Oliver's rapid development of powers, including flight, sets the stage for his transformation into Kid Omni-Man.
Oliver's emergence as a powerful ally adds a new layer of complexity, presenting both opportunities and risks for Mark.
