Prime Video Unveils Invincible Season 3's New Voice Cast and Mysterious Villains
With Invincible: Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has announced a stellar 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 cast, but their characters remain undisclosed.
This strategic silence from Prime Video likely aims to preserve major plot twists for Season 3. Speculation is rife regarding Banks and Bradley's roles. Furthermore, the rapid aging of Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson and his emergence as a sidekick for Invincible raise significant questions.
Jonathan Banks as Conquest?
Given Banks' prowess in portraying hardened villains, Conquest from the Invincible comics is a strong contender. A powerful Viltrumite, Conquest arrives after a devastating conflict, issuing an ultimatum to Invincible: conquer his homeworld or face death. This storyline aligns perfectly with Season 2's setup, suggesting a pivotal confrontation in Season 3. Invincible's youth and inexperience against veteran Viltrumites will undoubtedly make this battle a desperate struggle.
Doug Bradley's Enigmatic Role
While Banks' casting as Conquest seems plausible, Bradley's role is more ambiguous. Considering his horror background, a villainous role is expected. Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus, a villain seeking to heal the world by destroying human civilization, or Grand Regent Thragg, the primary antagonist of the Invincible saga. Bradley's voice could add depth to Dinosaurus's somewhat cartoonish appearance, while his charisma and menace would make him ideal for the powerful Thragg.
Oliver Grayson's Accelerated Growth and Kid Omni-Man
Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother, a half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite hybrid. His accelerated aging is a key plot point for Season 3, with Christian Convery taking over the role to reflect Oliver's rapid growth into a preteen. Oliver's early manifestation of powers, including flight, positions him as a powerful ally, but also a potential vulnerability for Invincible. His adoption of the "Kid Omni-Man" codename further underscores his significant role in the series' future.
