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

Prime Video Unveils Invincible Season 3's New Voice Cast, Including Mysterious Roles for Jonathan Banks and Doug Bradley

With Invincible: Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has announced a stellar addition to its 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 roles remain undisclosed.

This strategic silence from Prime Video likely aims to preserve major plot twists in Season 3. Speculation is rife regarding Banks and Bradley's characters. Furthermore, the rapid aging and burgeoning powers of Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother, promise significant plot developments and the introduction of a new sidekick. Let's delve into the most anticipated new characters.

Warning: Minor comic book spoilers ahead!

Jonathan Banks as Conquest?

While Prime Video remains tight-lipped, Jonathan Banks' casting strongly suggests he'll portray Conquest. His expertise in portraying hardened villains aligns perfectly with this powerful Viltrumite warrior, first introduced in Invincible #61. Conquest's arrival follows a devastating conflict on Earth, presenting Invincible with an ultimatum: conquer his homeworld or face death.

Season 2 hinted at this confrontation, leaving Mark grappling with his father's legacy. Season 3 will likely showcase Mark's desperate struggle against Conquest, a seasoned Viltrumite far exceeding his experience.

Doug Bradley's Enigmatic Role

The mystery surrounding Doug Bradley's character adds another layer of anticipation. Considering his background portraying iconic horror villains, a villainous role seems likely. Two candidates emerge: Dinosaurus, introduced in Invincible #68, and Grand Regent Thragg, the series' primary antagonist (Invincible #11).

Dinosaurus, despite his cartoonish appearance, is a compelling character driven by a twisted sense of environmentalism. Bradley's voice could add depth to this complex villain. Alternatively, Thragg, the powerful ruler of the Viltrumite Empire, represents a significant threat yet to appear in the animated series. Bradley's presence would perfectly capture Thragg's menace and power.

Oliver Grayson's Accelerated Growth

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a key plot element for Season 3, with Christian Convery taking over the role to reflect Oliver's rapid growth into a preteen. Oliver's developing powers and the adoption of the "Kid Omni-Man" codename promise significant impact on the series.

Oliver's presence introduces both a powerful ally and a potential liability, adding another layer of complexity to Mark's responsibilities.
