Invincible Season 3 Finale Teaser: Conquest (Nuff Said); Clip Tomorrow

In the Season 3 finale teaser for Prime Video's Invincible... Conquest. Plus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Robert Kirkman discuss Morgan's casting.



Article Summary

  • Jeffrey Dean Morgan voices Conquest in Invincible Season 3 finale. Clip drops tomorrow.
  • Creator Robert Kirkman felt Morgan's nuance suits Conquest's brutal yet complex character.
  • New season adds voices of Aaron Paul, Simu Liu, and others to Invincible's animated cast.
  • Amazon's Invincible sees Conquest add to Mark's turmoil as new villains emerge.

Just when we thought our jaws had dropped as far as they could by the time the smoke cleared on "The Invincible War," Prime Video's Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons-starring adaptation of Robert KirkmanCory Walker and Ryan Ottley's comic book series Invincible S03E07: "What Have I Done?" hit us with none other than the appearance of Conquest, one of the most powerful Viltrumites to ever wreck pain and destruction – and he's voiced by none other than Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Of course, The Walking Dead fans picked up on the Morgan/Conquest and Yeun/Invincible connection as soon as they identified the voice. Based on how the episode ended, it didn't look like they were in the mood for espresso and a quick catch-up at a local cafe.

"I don't know what it is about being in a [recording] booth and trying to destroy the world, but it's really physically hard," Morgan shared about recording the role in a recent profile from EW. Noting that he had Morgan in mind for the role "probably since the beginning of the show's existence," Kirkman explained why Morgan was right for such a heavyweight role. "Conquest needs a lot of nuance. There's a tremendous amount of personality there, even though he is this giant, powerful brute that's just wrecking things. And I knew Jeffrey could bring that," Kirkman explained. Here's a look at the promo teaser for the third season finale of Prime Video's Invincible, "I Thought You'd Never Shut Up":

Joining the voice cast this season are Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Simu Liu (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad), Kate Mara (House of Cards), Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Tzi Ma (The Farewell), Doug Bradley ("Hellraiser" franchise), and Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth). Though details on Banks's and Bradley's characters weren't released (Hmmm…?), here's a rundown of who's who:

Invincible

POWERPLEX (Paul): A new villain with an emotional past, Powerplex absorbs energy – letting him use an enemy's strength against them. And that enemy is Invincible.

BECKY DUVALL (Mara): With a deep hatred for Invincible, Becky works with Powerplex to deliver justice she believes was denied.

THE ELEPHANT (DiMaggio): A serious villain with a serious name and a serious look. He wants the world to stop eating meat. He probably wants other things, too. It doesn't matter as long as he's taken seriously… By somebody. Please.

MR. LIU (Ma): Under this wizened exterior, he's the ruthless leader of The Order – an international crime syndicate. But that's not all this mysterious old man is hiding.

FIGHTMASTER & DROPKICK (Maridueña): Freedom-fighting twins from a troubled future, they're willing to risk everything in a desperate quest to save their world.

OLIVER GRAYSON (Convery): Mark's younger brother was a toddler the last time we saw him, but when you're half Viltrumite and half Thraxan, you grow up real fast.

MULTI-PAUL (Liu): An elite assassin for Mr. Liu's secret criminal organization, Multi-Paul took the opposite path of his sister Dupli-Kate. But blood is thicker than water…
