As the anticipation for “Invincible” season 3 heightens, fans have more than one reason to be excited. Robert Kirkman, the showrunner, recently hinted that some familiar faces from his previous success, “The Walking Dead”, could be joining the upcoming season of “Invincible”. This revelation opens up a world of possibilities and speculation. With several TWD alumni already lending their voices to the animated superhero saga, who else can fans expect to join the roster?
Robert Kirkman’s Big Reveal at NYCC 2023
During his appearance at New York Comic Con 2023, Kirkman had fans buzzing with excitement when discussing the progress of “Invincible” season 3.
Season 3 is very far along… If you think the cast expanded for season 2, just wait until you hear about who we’re getting in the show in season 3,” he teased. Making it even more intriguing, Kirkman dropped another bombshell: “It’s possible that there may be some more Walking Dead alums that may be popping into Invincible at some point.”
From The Apocalypse To Superhero Realm
It’s not new for “Walking Dead” actors to join “Invincible“. Steven Yeun, remembered by many as Glenn Rhee, lends his voice to the protagonist, Invincible/Mark Grayson. Other notable TWD alumni who’ve already made their mark in “Invincible” include Lauren Cohan, Lennie James, Ross Marquand, Michael Cudlitz, Sonequa Martin-Green, Khary Payton, and Chad L. Coleman, among others. While not all of these actors enjoy Hollywood’s A-list status, their connection with Kirkman and their notable performances in TWD have made them ideal candidates for “Invincible”.

Speculation Runs Rampant
Given the history of casting, fans are rife with speculation. Key players from “The Walking Dead”, like Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Jon Bernthal (Shane Walsh), who has previous superhero credentials as The Punisher, are potential contenders. Norman Reedus, a fan favorite for his role as Daryl Dixon, could also join the mix. Other possibilities? Michael Rooker and Danai Gurira, who have their share of superhero screen time with roles like Yondu and Okoye, respectively.
Moreover, considering how other TWD alumni, such as Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Laurie Holden, have explored the superhero genre in shows like “The Boys”, it wouldn’t be a stretch to see more familiar faces transition to “Invincible“.
An Ensemble Cast Awaits
As “Invincible” gears up for its third season, the potential ensemble cast, with its mix of new and familiar voices, promises to be a treat for fans. The fusion of Kirkman’s past successes with his current venture could offer an unprecedented viewing experience. As the lines between the worlds of “The Walking Dead” and “Invincible” blur, one thing is certain: the upcoming season is bound to be more invincible than ever before.
While the potential additions to the cast are exciting, official announcements regarding the exact lineup are eagerly awaited.
