With Invincible Season 3 on the horizon, Prime Video has unveiled a stellar cast of new voice actors. Aaron Paul as Powerplex, John DiMaggio as The Elephant, and Simu Liu as Multi-Paul are exciting additions. However, the most intriguing announcements are shrouded in mystery: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) and Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) have joined the cast, but their roles remain undisclosed.

Prime Video's secrecy likely aims to avoid spoiling major Season 3 plot points. Speculating on which characters Banks and Bradley might play is a fun exercise. And what about Christian Convery's Oliver? His rapid aging is a significant development, especially now that Invincible has a new sidekick. Let's delve into the most anticipated new characters.

Warning: Minor comic book spoilers ahead!

Jonathan Banks as Conquest? --------------------------

Jonathan Banks's casting is exciting. His expertise in portraying hardened killers strongly suggests a villainous role. The most fitting candidate from the comics is Conquest. Debuting in Invincible #61, Conquest is a Viltrumite, exceptionally powerful even by his race's standards.

Conquest arrives after a devastating Earth conflict, delivering an ultimatum from the Viltrumite Empire: Invincible conquers his homeworld, or Conquest will kill him and do it himself. This sets up a brutal battle for Mark Grayson.

Season 2 hinted at this confrontation, leaving Mark burdened with his father's legacy. Season 3 will likely deliver on this promise, pitting Mark against Conquest. Given Mark's relative inexperience, this will be a monumental challenge.

Doug Bradley's Mysterious Role

While Banks seems a strong contender for Conquest, Bradley's role is more ambiguous. Known for portraying Pinhead, his casting suggests another villain.

Two possibilities emerge: Dinosaurus (Invincible #68), a villain with vastly different motivations than Conquest, aiming to heal the world from humanity's destructive impact; or Grand Regent Thragg (Invincible #11), the main antagonist of the comic series, yet unseen in the show.

Bradley's voice could perfectly embody Dinosaurus, adding gravitas to a somewhat cartoonish character. Dinosaurus's actions, though extreme, stem from a desire for planetary well-being.

Thragg, the Viltrumite Empire's ruler, is a formidable opponent. Thousands of years old and a veteran of the empire's civil war, he's a terrifying force. Bradley's charisma and menace would make him ideal for this role. Even a brief appearance would be significant.

Christian Convery's Oliver Grayson: A New Sidekick

Season 2 introduced Oliver, Mark's half-brother. Half-Thraxan, half-Viltrumite, his accelerated aging is a key plot point for Season 3. Christian Convery's casting reflects Oliver's rapid growth from toddler to preteen.

Oliver's hybrid DNA grants him early manifestation of powers, unlike Mark. He'll adopt the codename Kid Omni-Man, becoming both a powerful ally and a potential liability for Invincible.

Oliver's presence adds significant complexity. Mark not only grapples with his own heroic identity but also bears the responsibility of guiding his younger brother.
