Warning: some basic plot spoilers for the Invincible comic ahead!
Jonathan Banks as Conquest --------------------------Jonathan Banks, renowned for his role in Breaking Bad, is set to join Invincible: Season 3, though Prime Video has yet to disclose the specific character he'll portray. Given Banks' knack for embodying tough, seasoned characters, it's highly likely he'll voice Conquest, a formidable Viltrumite villain introduced in 2009's Invincible #61. Conquest, known for his strength and battle scars, brings an ultimatum from the Viltrumite Empire to Earth, challenging Invincible to conquer his homeworld or face deadly consequences. This sets the stage for an intense battle between Invincible and Conquest, a pivotal moment teased in Season 2 as Mark Grayson grapples with his father's legacy and his own destiny.

Who Is Doug Bradley Playing in Invincible Season 3?
While Jonathan Banks is speculated to be Conquest, Doug Bradley's role remains a topic of speculation. Known for his chilling performance as Pinhead in the Hellraiser series, Bradley is likely to take on another villainous role. Two prime candidates emerge from the Invincible comics: Dinosaurus, who first appears in Invincible #68 and aims to heal the planet from human civilization's damage, and Grand Regent Thragg, the ultimate antagonist introduced in Invincible #11. Dinosaurus's unique motivation and Thragg's immense power and history make both compelling choices for Bradley's distinctive voice and presence.

Season 2 introduced Oliver Grayson, Mark's half-brother, born from Nolan's time on Thraxa. With his accelerated aging, Oliver transitions from a toddler to a preteen by Season 3, a development that will play a significant role in the narrative. Christian Convery takes on the role of Oliver, who now showcases his powers and dons the costume of Kid Omni-Man, eager to follow in his father and brother's footsteps. Oliver's growth and burgeoning abilities present both an asset and a challenge for Invincible as he navigates his responsibilities and the dangers of his heroic journey.
