Invincible debuted in 2021 and quickly became a fan favourite due to its strong writing and intense, no-holds-barred violence. The series is based on the comics by Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley and follows teenager Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), the son of Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), the world’s greatest hero. Mark’s world is turned upside down when he learns that his father is actually an alien conqueror from the planet Viltrum.

Morgan’s role as Conquest

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, best known for his role as Negan in The Walking Dead, will voice Conquest, a ruthless member of the Viltrum Empire sent to Earth to pacify Mark. Conquest is one of the most powerful and brutal characters in the series, and his arrival sets the stage for an intense showdown.

Morgan, who previously worked with Yeun in The Walking Dead, expressed his excitement about the role. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he said, "I was just thrilled to get to be a part of it and give Steven his chance at redemption."

He also acknowledged the challenge of differentiating his performance from Negan, "I was trying to be aware of just voice inflexion. It's so easy for me to get into Negan mode after this many years."
