Robert Kirkman’s superhero animation Invincible will arrive on Amazon Prime Video this March, and a new video gives us a closer look at the series.

Based on the comic book from The Walking Dead creator Kirkman, Invincible revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), who’s just like every other guy his age — except his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (JK Simmons). But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.

Yeun and Simmons are joined by Sandro Oh, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Zazie Beetz, Jason Mantzoukas and Mae Whitman, alongside Lauren Cohan as War Woman, Chad Coleman as Martian Man, Michael Cudlitz as Red Rush, Lennie James as Darkwing, Ross Marquand as The Immortal & Aquarius, and Sonequa Martin-Green as Green Ghost. You can hear them all in action on 26th March when the series premieres on Amazon Prime Video.

Until then, see Mark chat with his father about his developing powers in this extended first clip:

The Walking Dead alumni join Amazon’s Invincible

27th July 2020

Several familiar faces from The Walking Dead are reuniting with Robert Kirkman for his Amazon series Invincible.

The show, based on Kirkman’s comic books, brings a new perspective to the superhero genre, following the teenage son of a hero – Mark, a 17-year-old who is like everyone else his age, except for the fact his dad is Omni-Man. As Mark develops his own powers, he discovers his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as legend says.

The animated series is produced by Robert Kirkman’s Skybound, with Kirkman exec-producing alongside Simon Racioppa, David Alpert and Catherine Winder, with Justin & Chris Copeland (Avengers Assemble) on board as supervising directors. The project has been in the works at Amazon Studios for some time, as part of Kirkman’s first-look deal with Skybound. The casting got off to an impressive start, with Sandro Oh, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Jason Mantzoukas, Mae Whitman, Chris Diamantopoulos, Melise, Kevin Michael Richardson, Grey Griffin and Max Burkholder all lending their voices – alongside lead actors Steven Yeun and JK Simmons.

Now Yeun, already a favourite of The Walking Dead fans, is getting some familiar company, with Lauren Cohan (War Woman), Chad Coleman (Martian Man), Michael Cudlitz (Red Rush), Lennie James (Darkwing), Ross Marquand (The Immortal & Aquarius), and Sonequa Martin-Green (Green Ghost) all joining the cast.

The announcement was made at Comic-Con At Home, as part of Kirkman’s solo panel, which you can watch below.

 

Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons to lead Amazon’s Invincible

1st February 2019

Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons will lead the voice cast of Amazon’s animated series Invincible.

The show, based on Robert Kirkman’s comic books, brings a new perspective to the superhero genre, following the teenage son of a hero. That’s Mark Grayson, played by Steven Yeun, a 17-year-old who is like everyone else his age, except for the fact his dad is Omni-Man, played by J.K. Simmons. As Mark develops his own powers, he discovers his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as legend says.

The animated series is produced by Robert Kirkman’s Skybound, with Kirkman exec-producing alongside Simon Racioppa, David Alpert and Catherine Winder, with Justin & Chris Copeland (Avengers Assemble) on board as supervising directors.

They have assembled an impressive voice cast to bring the animation to life, with Simmons and Yeun joined by Sandro Oh, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Jason Mantzoukas, Mae Whitman, Chris Diamantopoulos, Melise, Kevin Michael Richardson, Grey Griffin and Max Burkholder. They will be joined by Seth Rogen, who is also working on his own feature film based on the comic, alongside Evan Goldberg.

While that film will come under Kirkman’s first-look deal with Universal Pictures, the animated series from Skybound marks Kirkman’s ongoing partnership with Amazon Studios, after he inked a first-look deal to produce projects for Amazon Prime Video. With Kirkman’s comic his second-longest-running after The Walking Dead, even though the series ended its run in 2018, Amazon will no doubt be looking to build a franchise that could prove as equally established.

The animated show will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in 2020.
