Kirkman has assembled a cast of heavy hitters for the Amazon Studios series, plus plenty of his former co-workers from The Walking Dead including Steven Yeun as super-powered teen Mark Grayson โ who suits up as costumed crime-fighter Invincible after inheriting powers from his alien father, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), the world’s most powerful superhero. The series also features a previously announced cast that includes Sandra Oh, Mark Hamill, Seth Rogen, Zazie Beetz, Gillian Jacobs, Walton Goggins, Zachary Quinto, and The Walking Dead‘s Khary Payton.
Recently even more additions were made to the series with include current Walking Dead cast members Lauren Cohan and Ross Marquand as well as Fear the Walking Dead leading man Lennie James. Former Walking Dead stars joining Invincible include Sonequa Martin-Green, Chad Coleman, and Michael Cudlitz as well.
Kirkman previously confirmed the Invincible animated series will be just as graphically violent as the comic book series. Recently he’s teased major updates on the series (though you’re likely reading one right now), and even though footage from the series has yet to be released it’s on the horizon very soon.
“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.”
