Kirkman has, in recent weeks, teased big things coming from the production of Invincible. "I will say we are very close to giving a lot of updates on the Invincible series," Kirkman said during a live stream. "We're very hard at work at it. Unfortunately, animated series takes a fair amount of time to work on. I've watched some episodes and it's all turning out really great. We're going to have a panel, we're going to talk about the Invincible series and reveal a little bit more about the cast, and things like that. And then we're going to be showing some things very quickly."
Yuen starred as Glenn in the live-action adaptation of Kirkman's hit zombie comic The Walking Dead. He spoke in 2019 about reteaming with the creator for the animated superhero drama.
"Robert Kirkman is now making an animated show of his amazing comic book run called Invincible, that will come out on Amazon I think later next year. It's got a great cast. Mark Hamill, Sandra Oh, J.K. Simmons, Zazie Beetz," Yeun said at Walker Stalker Con London, adding the series is "gonna be hopefully many seasons."
