Aaron Paul Confirms He Won’t Return to ‘Invincible’ for Season 4

URGENT UPDATE: Aaron Paul has officially announced he will not reprise his role as Powerplex in the upcoming season of Invincible. This revelation comes during a recent episode of the Kinda Funny podcast, where the actor shared his reasons for stepping back from the animated series.

Paul, who gained fame from Breaking Bad, voiced the supervillain Powerplex, a character whose dark storyline includes the tragic deaths of his sister and niece during a pivotal battle in season one. Despite his initial enthusiasm for the role, Paul described the experience as “too grueling” and admitted he “didn’t feel comfortable” returning to the character. He stated, “What it did to me, I didn’t like,” emphasizing the emotional toll the role took on him.

Powerplex made a notable debut in the season three episode titled “All I Can Say is Sorry,” where he tragically kills his wife and son during a confrontation with Invincible. This heartbreaking narrative left both the protagonist, Mark, and fans in a deeply emotional state. Following this, Powerplex appeared again in “What Have I Done?” as he continued his quest for vengeance against alternate universe versions of Invincible.

Despite his departure, fans can expect to see more of Powerplex in future comic storylines. With season four of Invincible set to premiere in March 2024, the character will likely be voiced by a new actor, maintaining his role as a formidable threat in the series.

For those eager to hear Aaron Paul in a more uplifting superhero role, the actor stars in AdHoc Studio’s Dispatch, which has recently been nominated for accolades at the Game Awards.

As fans and followers await the next season of Invincible, Paul’s decision marks a significant shift in the series’ narrative landscape, leaving viewers to ponder the future of both his character and the emotional depth the show is known for. Stay tuned for more updates as Invincible continues to evolve.
