There was a point when it felt like Invincible’s cast list for Season 3 would be a lot shorter due to the deaths of multiple characters…but this isn’t the type of show where people stay dead for long and by the end of Season 2, most of them “bounced back” from injuries that would insta-kill anybody in real life. In fact, the cast of Season 3 will be even bigger.
Amazon Prime has released a list of NINE actors who will join the series in regular or supporting roles this coming season, and they include the likes of Simu Liu, Kate Mara, and Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul. They join an already stellar cast list of regulars: Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, J.K. Simmons, Gillian Jacobs and Jason Mantzoukas.
Paul plays a new enemy with powers similar to Superman’s Parasite named Powerplex. Mara is Becky Duvall, Powerplex’s assistant, who hates Invincible for unrevealed reasons. Liu is playing Multi-Paul, the brother of Dupli-Kate, and Convery is the teenage version of Oliver, Mark’s half-brother…who if you remember grows at an accelerated pace due to his alien genetics. The new list lays it all out…
Powerplex (Aaron 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 (Kate Mara)
With a deep hatred for Invincible, Becky works with Powerplex to deliver justice she believes was denied.
The Elephant (John 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 he’s taken seriously … By somebody. Please.
Mr. Liu (Tzi Ma)
Under this wizened exterior, he’s the ruthless leader of “The Order” — an international crime syndicate. But that’s not all this mysterious old man is hiding.
Fightmaster & Dropkick (Xolo Maridueña)
Freedom-fighting twins from a troubled future, they’re willing to risk everything in a desperate quest to save their world.
Oliver Grayson (Christian Convery)
Mark’s younger brother was a toddler last time we saw him, but when you’re half Viltrumite and half Thraxan, you grow up real fast.
Multi-Paul (Simu 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…
If you counted, that’s seven, not nine. Two additional actors, Jonathan Banks and Doug Bradley, were left off the list; apparently their roles are too much of a spoiler right now. But all answers will be revealed (or will they?) when Invincible returns February 6.
