As the eagerly awaited Invincible: Season 3 approaches, Prime Video has unveiled an exciting lineup of new voice actors set to join the series. This season, fans will hear the voices of Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio as The Elephant, and Simu Liu as Multi-Paul, the brother of Dupli-Kate. However, the most enigmatic additions to the cast are Jonathan Banks and Doug Bradley, known for their roles in Breaking Bad and Hellraiser, respectively. Prime Video has kept the characters they will play under wraps, adding an air of mystery and anticipation for what's to come.
It's likely that Prime Video is withholding these details to avoid spoiling major plot developments in Season 3. Speculation abounds on which Invincible characters Banks and Bradley might portray. Additionally, the role of Christian Convery's character, Oliver, and his rapid aging, as well as his new status as Invincible's sidekick, have piqued fans' curiosity. Let's delve into what we know about these crucial new characters expected to appear this season.
Warning: some basic plot spoilers for the Invincible comic ahead!
Jonathan Banks, renowned for his role in Breaking Bad, is set to join Invincible: Season 3, though Prime Video has not disclosed his character. Given Banks' proficiency in portraying tough, seasoned characters, it's widely speculated that he will voice Conquest, a formidable Viltrumite villain introduced in Invincible #61 in 2009. Conquest is known for his immense strength and battle scars, serving as an enforcer for the Viltrumite Empire.
In the storyline, Conquest arrives on Earth post-conflict, demanding that Invincible fulfill his duty to conquer the planet or face deadly consequences. This sets the stage for a brutal showdown between Mark Grayson and Conquest, with Season 2 hinting at this impending battle. Mark, still young and inexperienced, must find a way to overcome this veteran warrior to save himself and Earth from subjugation.
While Jonathan Banks seems a perfect fit for Conquest, the role of Doug Bradley remains a mystery. Known for his chilling portrayal of Pinhead in the Hellraiser series, Bradley is expected to take on a villainous role in Invincible. Potential characters include Dinosaurus, introduced in Invincible #68, who aims to save the world from human-induced damage, or Grand Regent Thragg, the ruler of the Viltrumite Empire and a central antagonist in the series.
Dinosaurus, with his unique motivation to heal the planet, could benefit from Bradley's deep, commanding voice, adding depth to his character. On the other hand, Thragg, a millennia-old warrior with extensive combat skills, would be a fitting role for Bradley to bring to life, given his ability to convey menace and power.
Introduced in Season 2, Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother, is a hybrid of Thraxan and Viltrumite descent, aging at an accelerated rate. By Season 3, Oliver, portrayed by Christian Convery, will appear as a preteen due to his rapid growth. This season, Oliver will start manifesting his powers much earlier than Mark did, donning a costume and adopting the moniker Kid Omni-Man.
Oliver's role will be pivotal moving forward, as Mark navigates his responsibilities as a hero while mentoring his younger brother. Oliver's unique abilities make him a valuable ally, yet also a potential vulnerability, as Mark grapples with the fear of endangering his loved ones.
In other Invincible news, the franchise is set to expand with the new prequel spinoff, Invincible: Battle Beast, which is among IGN's most anticipated new comics of 2025.
