‘Invincible’ Season 3 trailer teases a big fight between Mark and his boss

“We can be the good guys, or we can be the guys who save the world. We can’t be both.” So says Cecil to his team of superheroes in the new Season 3 trailer for Invincible.

The official trailer for the season, released on Saturday, opens with a training progress update on Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), aka The Invincible. In a surprising turn of events, we learn that Mark’s boss Cecil (Walton Goggins) has teamed up with the villain DA Sinclair – a sign that the tension between Mark and Cecil will reach breaking point. We see Mark fighting alongside his younger brother Oliver, who has grown up quickly from the baby introduced in Season 2. We also get a look at Invincible’s new black and blue suit, which Mark says “feels a little serious” – perhaps hinting a change of tone in Season 3, which premieres on February 6, 2025.

The Prime Video the show is an adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s Invincible comic series. It’s full of high-stakes battles, but it’s also a coming-of-age story. Mark is the son of real estate agent Debbie (Sandra Oh) and a powerful superhero named Omni-Man (JK Simmons); after gaining his superpowers much later than expected and assuming the mantle of Invincible, Mark must balance his new responsibilities with his desire to be a normal high school student. But he has to grow up a little faster when he learns the truth about his father.

Where’s Mark, William?

In a teaser trailer released last month, Mark and Cecil discuss the current state of affairs with a silly montage of chipped characters, and laughingly mention the four-month hiatus in the middle of Season 2. The teaser trailer specifically mentions that Season 3 will not have a mid-season break; we expect a new episode to be released every week until the conclusion on March 13th.

The second season ended last April; if you still haven’t caught up, there’s no time like the present. And if you’re new to Invincible, do yourself a favor and watch the first episode – it opens with Omni-Man defending the White House from the feuding Mauler Twins and ends with a huge plot twist. Be prepared for a great deal of animated gore and gore (memorably, the first season’s title card is splattered with more and more blood as the show progresses). But there’s also a lot of heart, as well as fun references to other superhero franchises (Guardians of the Globe is a thinly veiled spoof of DC’s Justice League).

How many more seasons of Invincible will we get?

He was invincible renewed for season 4 and may continue after season 4. The show doesn’t follow the comic’s 144-issue storyline in a row, instead shuffling between plot points and sometimes covering multiple stories at once. Kirkman, the comic’s creator and one of the show’s writers and executive producers, said yes he hopes the show will continue until season 7 or 8. It would be “enough to cover the entire comic” and possibly include some elements that didn’t make it into the original story.

Even if you’re feeling superhero fatigue or weren’t the biggest superhero fan to begin with, you’ll find a lot to love about Invincible. The tightly paced story carries emotional weight – superheroes can’t escape the consequences of their superpowers – but is balanced by healthy doses of self-aware humor. Only Omni-Man would explain how letting go and learning to fly is like “peeing your pants on purpose.”
