Invincible: The Most Important New Characters to Expect in Season 3

Prime Video Unveils Invincible Season 3's New Voice Cast, Including Mysterious Additions

Prime Video recently announced a stellar lineup of voice actors joining Invincible for its highly anticipated third season. This includes Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio as The Elephant, and Simu Liu as Multi-Paul, Dupli-Kate's brother. However, the most intriguing additions remain shrouded in mystery: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) are onboard, but their roles are yet to be revealed.

This strategic secrecy likely aims to preserve key plot twists for Season 3. Speculation is rife regarding which characters Banks and Bradley will portray. Furthermore, the rapid aging of Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson and his emergence as a potential sidekick for Invincible are significant plot points demanding attention.

Jonathan Banks as Conquest?

Given Banks' expertise in portraying hardened villains, the most likely candidate for his character is Conquest. This formidable Viltrumite, introduced in Invincible #61, presents a powerful adversary for Mark Grayson. His arrival following a devastating conflict on Earth sets the stage for a brutal showdown, building upon Season 2's cliffhanger where Mark inherits his father's mantle as Earth's potential conqueror.

Doug Bradley's Enigmatic Role

While Banks' casting as Conquest seems plausible, Bradley's role remains more ambiguous. Considering his iconic portrayal of Pinhead, a villainous role is expected. Two prominent candidates emerge from the comics: Dinosaurus, a character motivated by environmental concerns, and Grand Regent Thragg, the overarching antagonist of the Invincible saga.

Bradley's voice could lend gravitas to Dinosaurus's somewhat cartoonish appearance, while his presence as Thragg, the powerful ruler of the Viltrumite Empire, would introduce a major player into the animated series.

Oliver Grayson's Accelerated Growth

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's younger half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a key plot element for Season 3. Christian Convery's casting reflects Oliver's rapid development from toddler to preteen, showcasing his emerging powers and the potential challenges this presents for Mark.

Oliver's adoption of the "Kid Omni-Man" codename adds another layer of complexity to Mark's role, not only as a hero but also as a mentor to his powerful, yet potentially vulnerable, sibling.
