Invincible is set to return for its much-anticipated fourth season on Amazon Prime Video this March, as Mark Grayson, the lead character, deals with the aftermath of his fierce battle against Conquest. The new season will feature a lineup of formidable villains, including Lee Pace as Thragg and Matthew Rhys as Dinosaurus. Notably, the show will introduce Universa, voiced by Danai Gurira, famed for her roles as Michonne in The Walking Dead and Okoye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Prime Video recently unveiled an exciting sneak peek of Universa, showcasing her confronting Atom Eve in a high-stakes scenario. This glimpse hints at the significant events expected in the upcoming season, which will also see the return of beloved characters such as Omniman, Allen the Alien, and the Guardians of the Globe. While Universa may not be as powerful as some adversaries like Omniman or Thragg, she certainly poses a notable threat to Mark and Eve.
In the original comic series, Universa arrives on Earth in search of energy to save her own world, although her methods would lead to devastating consequences for humanity. As the animated series draws inspiration from the comic books, audiences can expect Universa to challenge the heroes in profound ways. The new season promises to retain connections to the source material while also venturing into fresh storylines. Creator Robert Kirkman has hinted at exploring narratives involving Damien Darkblood and themes surrounding the underworld, which were originally intended for the comics but never fully realized.
Kirkman expressed enthusiasm about reintroducing Darkblood, revealing that the character’s return had always been a goal for the show following his successful depiction in the prior season. As fans gear up for the return of Invincible, the combination of familiar faces, new foes, and intricate storytelling is likely to enhance the viewing experience and build excitement for the series’ future.
