Invincible Season 3’s New Cast Is a Pop-Culture Crossover Extravaganza

In keeping with creator Robert Kirkman’s promise not to keep fans waiting, Invincible revealed several star-studded additions to its highly anticipated third season ahead of its February premiere on Prime Video.

Joining Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons in Invincible season three are (deep breath) Aaron Paul and Jonathan Banks of Breaking Bad fame; Shang-Chi himself, Simu Liu; Kate Mara (she was Sue Storm in the Fantastic Four movie we don’t talk about); Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña, the incomparable John DiMaggio (Futurama), Tzi Ma (Mulan), Doug Bradley (Pinhead from Hellraiser), and Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth, The Monkey).

Rather than leave Invincible‘s pop-culture crossover event-worthy cast announcement at that, Prime Video also revealed who its new lineup of Hollywood actors will be playing from Kirkman’s best-selling graphic novels. Here’s a quick rundown of the who’s who, their superpowers, and their allegiances relative to the guardians of the globe and Invincible himself, Mark Grayson.

• Powerplex (Paul): A new villain with an emotional past, Powerplex absorbs energy—letting him use an enemy’s strength against them. And that enemy is Invincible.
• Becky Duvall (Mara): With a deep hatred for Invincible, Becky works with Powerplex to deliver justice she believes was denied.
• The Elephant (DiMaggio): A serious villain with a serious name and a serious look. He wants the world to stop eating meat. He probably wants other things too. It doesn’t matter as long as he’s taken seriously… by somebody. Please.
• Mr. Liu (Ma): Under this wizened exterior, he’s the ruthless leader of The Order—an international crime syndicate. But that’s not all this mysterious old man is hiding.
• Fightmaster & Dropkick (Maridueña): Freedom-fighting twins from a troubled future, they’re willing to risk everything in a desperate quest to save their world.
• Oliver Grayson (Convery): Mark’s younger brother was a toddler last time we saw him, but when you’re half Viltrumite and half Thraxan, you grow up REAL fast.
• Multi-Paul (Liu): An elite assassin for Mr. Liu’s secret criminal organization, Multi-Paul took the opposite path of his sister Dupli-Kate. But blood is thicker than water…

Seeing as how Invincible is an animated series where villains and heroes alike can bite the dust at any given moment, here’s hoping its new cast members get to flex their voice acting chops before their characters are 86’d in grand and gory fashion. Should their deaths come to pass, we’ll be sure to hold an in memoriam for them alongside Mark’s classic yellow and blue supersuit.
