The season 3 finale of Invincible hits Prime Video this Thursday, and IGN has released a clip from the opening scene.
Last week's penultimate episode concluded with the arrival of a powerful and bloodthirsty (not exactly unusual for this race) Viltrumite known as Conquest (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who was appalled to see that Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) had not set about paving the way for the Viltrum invasion.
In this clip, Conquest makes it very clear that he has no intention of attempting to convince Mark that surrender is the best course of action for the people of Earth, as to him, "there is no greater pleasure than to feel the warmth of my fists drenched in blood."
"I was just thrilled to get to be a part of it and give Steven his chance at redemption," Morgan told EW in a recent interview "I was trying to be aware of just voice inflection. It's so easy for me to get into Negan mode after this many years."
Robert Kirkman also teased what fans can expect from the finale.
"At the end of 307, Mark is at his absolute lowest. He has seen other versions of himself decimate the planet. Everyone is turned against him. He is participating in the rebuilding effort, but he feels more guilt than he has ever felt in his life. And Conquest shows up. So he's in this unique head space. He's backed into a corner. The world is already in shambles, and Cecil calls [Conquest] 'Mr. 10 Times Worse.' We've been hinting at this character's arrival since season 2, when Anissa warned that he was going to be coming, and now he's here. So it's going to get even worse somehow."
Check out the clip below.
Prime Video recently announced some impressive new cast additions (some of whom you'll have met already).
Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, BoJack Horseman) will voice Powerplex, Simu Liu (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Atlas) is Multi-Paul, Kate Mara (House of Cards, A Teacher) will play Becky Duvall, Xolo Maridueña (Cobra Kai, Blue Beetle) has been cast as Dropkick and Fightmaster, John DiMaggio (Futurama, Adventure Time) is The Elephant, Tzi Ma (The Farewell, Kung Fu) will voice Mr. Liu, and Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth, Cocaine Bear) will take over as Oliver Grayson, aka Kid-Omni Man.
Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) and Jonathan Banks' (Breaking Bad) roles are being kept under wraps, but there was a lot of speculation that they'll play Brit and Conquest, respectively (we'd say Bradley will still end up voicing the former).
You can check out some breakdowns for each new character below.
POWERPLEX: A new villain with an emotional past, Powerplex absorbs energy – letting him use an enemy’s strength against them. And that enemy is Invincible.
BECKY DUVALL: With a deep hatred for Invincible, Becky works with Powerplex to deliver justice she believes was denied.
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.
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.
FIGHTMASTER & DROPKICK: Freedom-fighting twins from a troubled future, they’re willing to risk everything in a desperate quest to save their world.
OLIVER GRAYSON: Mark’s younger brother was a toddler last time we saw him, but when you’re half Viltrumite and half Thraxan, you grow up REAL fast.
MULTI-PAUL: An elite assassin for Mr. Liu’s secret criminal organization, Multi-Paul took the opposite path of his sister Dupli-Kate. But blood is thicker than water…
