"Invincible" Animated Series From Amazon

[Agent Z]

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard much of anything about Amazon’s animated adaptation of Invincible, the Robert Kirkman comic. But it looks like it’s still on the way, and it’s got some new names attached, to boot.

Yesterday, it was announced that two new names would be joining the star-studded voice cast leading the project. Via the Hollywood Reporter, Zachary Quinto (Heroes, NOS4A2) and Khary Payton (The Walking Dead, Teen Titans) will be joining a cast that already includes names like Zazie Beetz, Walton Goggins, Mark Hamill, and Sandra Oh.

According to THR, Quinto will be lending his voice to Robot, one of the protagonist’s key allies in the book, while Payton will play the superhero Black Samson. Both are fantastic voices, Payton being a veteran voice actor and Quinto bringing an eccentric character actor energy to just about everything he works on.

That’s a pretty impressive cast, and that alone is enough for me to watch.

I don't know that I buy J.K Simmons as Invincible's dad.

He's not who I would have thought of first either, but I think it might work if he doesn't go full-blown bombastic like he does for J Jonah Jameson.

I'm super hyped for this. Invincible was the best gods damn comic there was, and the cast looks fantastic. I mean, Seth Rogan as Allan the Alien? I was sold right there.

That voice cast is pretty hype .

I wonder if they're race-bending Amber with Zazie Beetz playing her. They don't necessarily have to, what with it being voice acting and all, just something that struck me with the casting.

I wonder if Quinto will just voice Robot in his Robot form depending on how they handle a certain plot point regarding him later in the comic.

JK is almost as prolific an actor as he is a voice actor. I can see him playing Nolan like he did Klaus with a dash of White Knight from Generator Rex.

I'm gonna guess that, even if the original plan wasn't to race bend Amber, it'll be done now.

As for Robot.....I'd assume Quinto will voice Robot, in all his versions, but they'll run his voice through a synthesizer for robot Robot.

And I have no idea what Generator Rex is. Show? Video game? And....Klaus? Not Morrison's BOOM Studios Klaus is it? Can't be; if that got a cartoon I'd have heard of it. Right?
