PRIME VIDEO's INVINCIBLE

  • Paul (Breaking Bad, Westworld) will play Powerplex, a new villain with an emotional past. He absorbs energy - letting him use an enemy's strength against them. And that enemy is Invincible (Steven Yeun).
  • Mara (House of Cards, A Teacher) will play Becky Duvall. With a deep hatred for Invincible, she works with Powerplex to deliver justice she believes was denied.

  • DiMaggio (Futurama, Disenchantment) will play The Elephant, 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.
  • Ma (24, Kung Fu) will play Mr. Liu. 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.
