Title: Pop Culture Icons Unite in Invincible Season 3's Unmissable Cast
Get ready for a star-studded extravaganza as Robert Kirkman's beloved series, Invincible, unveils a plethora of big-name additions for its highly anticipated third season, set to premiere on Prime Video in February. Here's a rundown of the impressive cast:
Joining the fray alongside Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons are former "Breaking Bad" stars Aaron Paul and Jonathan Banks, the dynamic duo known as Jesse Pinkman and Mike Ehrmantraut, respectively. Shang-Chi himself, Simu Liu, rounds out the stellar additions, along with Kate Mara of "Fantastic Four" fame, Xolo Maridueña from "Blue Beetle" and "Cobra Kai", voice acting legend John DiMaggio ("Futurama"), Tzi Ma ("Mulan"), and up-and-coming talent Christian Convery (from "Sweet Tooth" and "The Monkey").
Prime Video also gave viewers a sneak peek into the characters these actors will be bringing to life. Here's a breakdown:
- "Breaking Bad" alumni Paul plays Powerplex, a new villain with a complex emotional backstory, capable of absorbing energy and using it against his enemies, including Invincible himself.
- Kate Mara portrays Becky Duvall, a character harboring a deep grudge against Invincible, working alongside Powerplex in her quest for justice.
- Veteran voice actor John DiMaggio voices The Elephant, a formidable villain with a serious name and look, driven by a peculiar crusade.
- Tzi Ma embodies the enigmatic Mr. Liu, a cunning criminal mastermind leading an international crime syndicate called The Order.
- Xolo Maridueña brings the twins Fightmaster and Dropkick to life. These freedom-fighters hail from a future on the brink of disaster, putting everything at stake in their noble mission.
- Christian Convery tackles the role of Oliver Grayson, who's grown up remarkably fast as Mark Grayson's younger half-Viltrumite sibling.
- And lastly, there's Multi-Paul, played by Simu Liu, who's an elite assassin for Mr. Liu's secret criminal organization. He represents a stark contrast to his sister, Dupli-Kate.
As an animated series with a penchant for surprise deaths, we can't wait to see these talented actors flex their voice acting muscles, hopefully for a long run in Invincible's colorful world.
Before the cast announcement, Skybound Entertainment and Amazon MGM studios confirmed that "Invincible" season three will have a three-episode premiere on February 6. Future episodes will stream every Thursday, concluding with an eighth and final episode on March 13.
