The new cast of Invincible season 3 is a pop culture crossover extravaganza

In keeping with creator Robert Kirkman’s promise not to keep fans waiting, Invincible revealed several star-studded additions to his highly anticipated third season ahead of its February premiere on Prime Video.

He joins Steven Yeun and JK Simmons in Invincible the third season is (deep breath) Aaron Paul and Jonathan Banks of Breaking bad fame; Shang-Chi himself, Simu Liu; Kate Mara (was Sue Storm in the Fantastic four movie we don’t talk); Blue beetle and Cobra Kai star Xolo Maridueña, the incomparable John DiMaggio (Futurama)Tzi Ma (Mulan)Doug Bradley (Pinhead from Hellraiser), and Christian Convery (Sweet tooth, the monkey).

Rather than leaving InvincibleAnnouncing the pop-culture crossover event worthy of it, Prime Video also revealed who its new line-up of Hollywood actors will play from Kirkman’s best-selling graphic novels. Here’s a quick rundown of who’s who, their superpowers, and their alliances relative to the guardians of the globe and the Invincible himself, Mark Grayson.

• Powerplex (Paul): A new villain with an emotional past, Powerplex absorbs energy – letting him use an enemy’s strength against them. And that enemy is Invincible.
• Becky Duvall (Mara): With a deep hatred for Invincible, Becky works with Powerplex to bring about the justice she believes has been denied.
• The Elephant (DiMaggio): A serious villain with a serious name and a serious look. He wants the world to stop eating meat. He probably wants other things too. It doesn’t matter as long as it’s taken seriously… by someone. Please.
• Mr. Liu (Ma): Beneath this scruffy exterior, he is the ruthless leader of the Order, an international crime syndicate. But that’s not all this mysterious old man is hiding.
• Fightmaster & Dropkick (Maridueña): twins fighting for freedom from a turbulent future, are willing to risk everything in a desperate quest to save their world.
• Oliver Grayson (Convery): Mark’s younger brother was a baby when we last saw him, but when you’re half Viltrumite and half Thraxan, you grow up REAL fast.
• Multi-Paul (Liu): An elite assassin for Mr. Liu’s secret criminal organization, Multi-Paul took the opposite path of his sister Dupli-Kate. But blood is thicker than water…

Seeing how Invincible is an animated series where the villains and heroes can bite the dust at any moment, here’s hoping their new cast members get to flex their voices before their characters are 86’d in grand and bloody fashion . If their death happens, we’ll be sure to keep one in memoriam for them alongside Mark’s classic yellow and blue supersuit.
