Invincible Season 3 Creates A New Plot Hole With This Villain’s Return
Invincible season 3 finally properly introduced a villain who has been teased since season 2, but his debut creates a massive story problem.
Speaking withDiscussingFilm, Kirkman revealed thatBryan Cranston is the only actor who keeps turning down a role inInvincible. While the series creator didn’t explain which roles had been offered to theBreaking Badalum, he confirmed they’ve asked him to join every season, but that he’s turned them down each time. However, they still have roles in mind that he could play, with the creative not giving up on getting him for the superhero show. Check out what Kirkman had to say below:
Sometimes an actor is brought up for a role, and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, never in a million years would have I thought of that.’ That’s when it’s really exciting. As far as dream casting goes, I think we offer Bryan Cranston a role every season. That has become our tradition, and his tradition is that he turns us down (laughs). But we’re coming for you again, Bryan, and we’ll see what happens next time. Fingers crossed! Literally, Bryan Cranston is the only actor that has turned us down.
What Bryan Cranston Turning Down Invincible Roles Means For The Show
Will He Ever Be Part Of The Series?
Cranston is no stranger to voice acting, portraying Po’s biological father, Li Shan, in theKung Fu Pandamovies, alongside playing the Siberian tiger Vitaly inMadagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wantedand Jim Gordan inBatman: Year One. However, his most well-known roles are live-action, like Walter White inBreaking Badand Hal inMalcolm in the Middle. While this doesn’t mean he’ll never show up inInvincible, it does emphasize how his most well-known roles aren’t in the realm of animation.
Invinciblehas already been renewed for season 4, offering another chance for Cranston to join the cast.
