'Invincible': Amazon Reveals Full Voice Cast For Robert Kirkman's Animated Superhero Show
At long last, Amazon has revealed the full voice cast of its adult animated series Invincible, based on the Image Comics title from writer Robert Kirkman. The Kirkman co-created animated series has been in the works for more than a year, with Steven Yeun announced as the lead of a star-studded voice cast last January. Now, as Invincible gets closer to debuting on Amazon, the full voice cast of the subversive superhero series has been revealed.
On Saturday, Amazon revealed that Zachary Quinto (Star Trek, NOS4A2) and Khary Payton (The Walking Dead) have been added to the Invincible voice cast, Collider reports. On the same day, series co-creator Robert Kirkman participated in the Skybound Expo virtual panel to reveal which characters the previously announced cast members will be playing. We already knew that Yeun, who has starred in a Kirkman series before with his breakout role in The Walking Dead, will be voicing the protagonist Mark Grayson, a teenager with a famous super-powered parent who begins to develop powers of his own, and discovers that the job isn't all it's cracked up to be. Kirkman also revealed that J.K. Simmons will be playing the role of Mark's father, the very powerful Omni-Man.
Here is the rest of the Invincible casting breakdown:
Some previously revealed cast members like Sandra Oh, Mae Whitman, and Max Burkholder weren't included in the casting breakdown, so it's uncertain which characters they'll be voicing, or if they're still involved in the series since the cast was announced in January 2019.
Amazon's Invincible is an hour-long series that is set to premiere sometimes in the near future. The comic is Kirkman's second-longest after The Walking Dead, and was created by Kirkman, Cory Walker, and artist Ryan Ottley. The comic ended its 15-year run in February of 2018.
Here's the official description of the show:
From Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker and based on the Skybound / Image comic of the same name, Invincible is an adult animated superhero show that revolves around Mark Grayson, a normal teenager except for the fact that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet. Shortly after his seventeenth birthday, Mark begins to develop powers of his own and enters into his father's tutelage. The series is suspenseful, action-filled, and emotion-packed, yet builds upon poignant and heartwarming moments of love, friendship, and humanity.
