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

Prime Video Unveils Invincible Season 3's Star-Studded Cast, Including Mysterious Roles for Jonathan Banks and Doug Bradley

With Invincible: Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has announced a thrilling addition to the voice cast. Aaron Paul will voice Powerplex, John DiMaggio will portray The Elephant, and Simu Liu will lend his voice to Multi-Paul, Dupli-Kate's brother. However, the most intriguing additions are shrouded in secrecy: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) have joined the ensemble, but their characters remain undisclosed.

This strategic silence from Prime Video is likely intended to safeguard major plot twists. Speculation is rife regarding the roles Banks and Bradley will fill. Furthermore, Christian Convery's portrayal of Oliver Grayson raises significant questions about his accelerated aging and the implications of a new sidekick for Invincible. Let's delve into the most anticipated characters expected to appear this season.

Warning: Minor comic book plot spoilers ahead!

Jonathan Banks as a Likely Conquest

While Prime Video remains tight-lipped, Jonathan Banks' casting strongly suggests he'll play Conquest. His expertise in portraying hardened villains aligns perfectly with this character from Invincible #61 (2009). A powerful Viltrumite warrior, Conquest arrives after a devastating conflict, issuing an ultimatum to Invincible: conquer his homeworld or face death. This sets the stage for a brutal confrontation, capitalizing on Season 2's cliffhanger where Mark inherits his father's mantle. Given Mark's relative inexperience, this battle promises intense drama.

Doug Bradley's Enigmatic Role

The mystery surrounding Doug Bradley's character is equally compelling. His iconic portrayal of Pinhead suggests a villainous role, but which one? Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus (Invincible #68, 2009), a seemingly cartoonish villain with surprisingly nuanced motivations, or Grand Regent Thragg (Invincible #11, 2004), the overarching antagonist of the Invincible saga. Bradley's voice could add depth to Dinosaurus, while his commanding presence would perfectly suit the powerful Thragg.

Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson: A New Dynamic

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His rapid aging is a key plot point for Season 3, with Christian Convery taking over the role. Oliver's accelerated development of powers, including flight, positions him as a potential ally and a significant source of concern for Mark. The sibling dynamic promises compelling narrative threads.
