If you've read the Invincible comic book by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, you probably already know the answer to what's being teased in the next statement. 

However, it appears that two fan-favorite powerhouses from the first season of the show—who were not present in the second—will have a significant role in the third season.

That's right, Battle Beast and Titan will be back for season 3. Previously, Titan was voiced by (Mahershala Ali while Battle Beast was portrayed by Michael Dorn.

As you may be well aware if you have read the comics, both characters are essential to Mark Grayson's ongoing development, both mentally and physically.

It has previously been teased by Kirkman that the wait for Invincible season 3 won't be as long as the wait for season 2 (two years). Amazon previously renewed the show for season 2 and 3 back in April 2021.

"I think that there’s so many pieces that have been put in place in season two that we’re going to build on in season three and so many different ways that we’re going to expand the show and push the show even further," Kirkman teased [via Games Radar]. 

He went on to add, "We want every [season three] episode to feel like it’s a finale. Season three is an absolutely huge season with so many crazy things that you won’t expect. And where we leave things at the end of season three… Oh my god, I cannot wait for people to see that stuff."

Battle Beast was super fun when we saw him in Season 1. I understand that he has a very large part to play in the future so I’m looking forward to his return!

@mountainman - Omni-Man and Battle Beast are the two best characters in the show.

Well for me.

@marvel72 - I haven’t gotten enough from Battle Beast to make him an overall favorite, but he’s my favorite one off for now.

Omni Man is certainly awesome.

I like a lot of these characters. Atom Eve has a really cool power set but i’m looking forward to her finding herself. Her current status quo is boring to me.

Love the tragic nature of both Robot and Monster Girl.

Donald became really interesting to me with what we learned about him this season.

Much better character work here than what we normally get in hero shows.

@mountainman - I have seen what he gets up to in the comics, he has a classic brutal fight with....

Not going to tell you.

@mountainman - there isnt a better animated or comic book live action show on television if you ask me. characterization alone.....Invincible just does it best.

@McMurdo - I was even thinking that Marks challenges balancing his regular life with super hero life are better depicted than in any spider-man adaptation we’ve seen.

@PC04 @soberchimera - yeah animation still takes long, like the guy in the show explained. That was both funny and informative

Battle Beast's ego is going to be something to watch out for. Wonder if they tweak that from the comics as his role becomes larger.

can't wait. LOVE this show. will need to binge S1 and S2 before S3 to get the hype back up; just glad it won't be a 2yr wait between seasons

@MotherGooseUPus - what did you think of season 2 overall?
MotherGooseUPus
MotherGooseUPus - 4/10/2024, 1:21 PM
@EZBeast - i thought it was pretty damn good, but, S1 was def better, imo. I will say, ive never read the comic so i went in blank knowing nothing. Both Seasons are great, but S1 was better, imo. Looking forward to S3 if it's as epic as people are saying

@MotherGooseUPus - S2 fell off for me, it just didn't feel structured well? I think it's the amount of fake out deaths that's ruining it for me as well. Next time someone REALLY dies it won't be as impact ful for me anymore and that's a big problem. I still like the show and im still excited for S3 but S2 didn't quite live up to my expectations unfortunately.

@Typhoon20 - you should probably drop it then because much more of that is coming

@MotherGooseUPus - I'm eagerly anticipating season 3 but I can't lie, I feel the quality dipped a bit and I'm worried there are a few storyline they're going to skip over the from the comic that I felt were well done.

I know almost nothing about the Invincible comic, but Battle Beast left a strong impression from his brief appearance in season 1 and I can't wait to get more of him.

@FireandBlood - As a guy who hasn't had a lot of interest in the games, the trailers for the show had me hooked. Glad to hear it.

@ObserverIO - It peaked with Infinity War or Endgame, it's in decline now.

We may get little glimmers of hope but they'll be snuffed out like a candle between a finger and thumb.

@marvel72 - peaked with IW. and even then they botched Hulk. then in Endgame they botched Thor so horribly and never redeemed Hulk at all. Whedon's Avengers is as good as Avengers ever got IMO.

I was devastated when I realized the second season was over already. I hope it's not a ridiculously long wait again til next season

@Tpo81 - same. And I hope there won't be a midseason break either. That didn't really add anything

What a place to end season two. I'm still bummed they've not included Brit, but the things to come.

I'm not familiar with the comics, so I don't know what role they're gonna play. Kinda even forgot about them even,but that maybe due to the long wait. Good to know that it'll be shorter now.

And speaking of animated Prime show taking a long time, do we know anything about Vox Machine S3 yet? Can't really find anything about it or how long it's gonna take.
