Rumors have been swirling for quite some time regarding a potential Spider-Man cameo in Invincible season 2. They stem from the fact that at this point in the original comic's story, Mark Grayson makes a trip to an alternate reality and meets Spider-Man and a few other Avengers characters.
Spectacular Spider-Man voice actor Josh Keaton has also teased that he has a role in the upcoming season but declined to provide any additional details, further stoking fan speculation.
But will that actually occur in the animated series, given the complicated nature of character rights and licensing?
Online scooper @MyTimeToShine, recently stirred the rumor mill up anew but we now have word from IP creator, Robert Kirkman.
Said Kirkman, "Would that we could pull the powers of Amazon and Disney and Marvel and everybody together! Wouldn’t that be an amazing thing? But I wouldn’t count on it. And that’s not a tease."
Kirkman also addressed the potential of a crossover back in October, calling it "tricky" to pull off.
While Kirkman is (seemingly) putting a damper on the possibility of a Spider-Man appearance this season, he did bring a new clip from Season 2 Part 2, which you can view below.
Invincible Season 2 Part 2 will return on on March 14. Four episodes remain in the show's second season, which initially premiered on November 3, 2023, before going on a midseason hiatus.
Kirkman previously stated that Prime Video employed this tactic to cut down on the time between seasons, however, fans have been less than thrilled with having episodes spaced out in this fashion.
Invincible Season 2 Synopsis:
