As excitement builds for the eagerly awaited Invincible: Season 3, Prime Video has unveiled a fresh roster of voice actors set to enrich the series. The lineup includes Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio voicing The Elephant, and Simu Liu as Multi-Paul, the brother of Dupli-Kate. Adding to the anticipation, the casting of Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks and Hellraiser's Doug Bradley has been confirmed, though the characters they will portray remain shrouded in mystery. Prime Video's decision to keep these details under wraps hints at significant plot developments on the horizon.
The big question on everyone's mind is: which characters could Banks and Bradley be playing? Additionally, fans are curious about Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson. How is he aging so rapidly, and what does his emergence as Invincible's new sidekick signify for the upcoming season? Below, we delve into the key new characters likely to make their mark in Season 3.
Warning: Some basic plot spoilers for the Invincible comic ahead!
Jonathan Banks, celebrated for his role in Breaking Bad, joins the cast of Invincible: Season 3. While Prime Video keeps his character a secret, speculation points strongly towards Banks playing Conquest, a formidable Viltrumite villain introduced in Invincible #61. Known for his portrayal of tough, seasoned characters, Banks seems a perfect fit for this role.
Conquest arrives on Earth with an ultimatum from the Viltrumite Empire: Invincible must conquer his homeworld, or Conquest will do it himself, leading to a brutal confrontation. Season 2 laid the groundwork for this clash, as Mark Grayson (Invincible) grapples with his father's legacy. Expect a dramatic showdown in Season 3, as Mark, still young and inexperienced, must find a way to defeat this veteran warrior.
While Banks is likely to be Conquest, Doug Bradley's role remains a subject of intrigue. Known for his chilling portrayal of Pinhead in the Hellraiser series, Bradley is expected to lend his voice to another villainous character.
Two possibilities stand out: Dinosaurus, who first appeared in Invincible #68, and Grand Regent Thragg, introduced in Invincible #11. Dinosaurus aims to heal the planet by eradicating human civilization's harmful effects, with a notable plan to destroy Las Vegas. Bradley's distinctive voice could bring depth to this character's mission.
Alternatively, Bradley might be cast as Thragg, the ultimate adversary in the Invincible saga. As the ruler of the Viltrumite Empire and a seasoned warrior, Thragg's introduction could be teased in Season 3, setting the stage for future confrontations.
Season 2 introduced Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother, who is half-Thraxan and half-Viltrumite. His rapid aging becomes a central plot point in Season 3. Initially appearing as a toddler, Oliver will look like a preteen by the new season, necessitating Christian Convery's casting.
Oliver's accelerated growth and emerging powers, which include superhuman strength and flight, set him on a path to follow in his father and brother's footsteps. He adopts the codename Kid Omni-Man and joins Invincible in battle. As Mark navigates his role as a hero, he must also guide his powerful yet vulnerable brother, adding a new layer of complexity to his journey.
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 comics of 2025.
