As the eagerly anticipated Invincible: Season 3 approaches, Prime Video has unveiled an exciting new lineup of voice actors set to join the series. Among them are Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio as The Elephant, and Simu Liu voicing Dupli-Kate's brother Multi-Paul. However, the most captivating additions to the cast are shrouded in mystery: Jonathan Banks from Breaking Bad and Doug Bradley of Hellraiser fame are also on board, but their roles remain undisclosed.
Prime Video's decision to keep these roles under wraps suggests significant plot developments in the upcoming season. Speculation abounds regarding which characters Banks and Bradley might portray, and the role of Christian Convery's character, Oliver Grayson, is also generating buzz. How is Oliver aging so quickly, and what does his emergence as Invincible's new sidekick signify? Here's what you need to know about the key new characters expected to appear this season.
Warning: some basic plot spoilers for the Invincible comic ahead!
Jonathan Banks as Conquest
Jonathan Banks, renowned for his role in Breaking Bad, is joining the cast of Invincible: Season 3, yet Prime Video has not disclosed the character he will voice. Given Banks' knack for portraying seasoned, hardened characters, speculation points toward him voicing Conquest, a formidable Viltrumite villain introduced in 2009's Invincible #61. Conquest is known for his strength and battle scars, bringing an ultimatum from the Viltrumite Empire to Invincible: conquer Earth or face death at Conquest's hands. This sets the stage for a brutal confrontation in Season 3, as Mark Grayson, still young and inexperienced, must stand against this veteran warrior.
Doug Bradley's Role in Invincible Season 3
While Jonathan Banks is a likely fit for Conquest, the role of Doug Bradley, famous for his portrayal of Pinhead in the Hellraiser series, remains a mystery. Given his history with iconic villains, Bradley is expected to voice another antagonist. Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus, introduced in Invincible #68, who aims to heal the world by targeting human civilization's toxic effects, or Grand Regent Thragg, the Viltrumite Empire's ruler and the series' ultimate villain. Bradley's voice could add depth to Dinosaurus' mission, or bring the menacing presence needed for Thragg, hinting at future confrontations for Mark Grayson.
Christian Convery’s Oliver Grayson
Introduced in Season 2, Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother, is a unique hybrid of Thraxan and Viltrumite lineage, with accelerated aging. By Season 3, Oliver, now portrayed by Christian Convery, will appear as a preteen, showcasing his powers and donning the codename Kid Omni-Man. His rapid development and emerging abilities will play a crucial role as he follows in his father and brother's footsteps, presenting both an asset and a potential risk to Invincible's missions.
