The third season finale of Invincible teased the arrival of Thragg, the ruler of the Viltrum Empire. Who should voice the antagonist in the animated series on Amazon Prime?
In an interview with creator Robert Kirkman, he discussed what viewers should expect from the upcoming fourth season. In the interview, he dropped a few hints about the most powerful Viltrumite.
"Thragg is cast and will be in Season 4. So, I won’t reveal anything other than if you’ve been watching the show since Season 1, you might be like, 'Hey, when is there going to be more Viltrumite stuff?" Kirkman revealed. "I will say that Season 4 has more Viltrumite stuff that you might be wanting."
Will Thragg's appearance on the animated show be like Conquest's (voiced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan)? Conquest made a cameo appearance in the penultimate episode, "What Have I Done?," before becoming the central character during the third season finale. "I Thought You'd Never Shut Up."
Who might Kirkman, who is also the executive producer of the show, cast as Thragg? From what we already know, Kirkman has brought in cast members from his other work, The Walking Dead, for a featured voice role. For example, actor Steven Yeun, who voices Mark Grayson/Invincible, played Glenn in the undead drama.
Let's find out who might be the most likely candidates to play Thragg.
5. Tom Payne
If you thought Thagg needed an accent, then Tom Payne, who played Paul "Jesus" Rovia is your pick. The English actor performed with an American accent in the AMC drama and the serial killer drama Prodigal Son.
4. Norman Reedus
Norman Reedus became a major player in Hollywood after his star turns with The Walking Dead and its spinoff, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. He continues to take the industry by storm as he co-stars with actress Ana de Armas in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. His gruff voice would work for Thragg.
3. Jon Bernthal
Although Jon Bernthal's screen time as Shane was short on the horror show, he definitely made a name for himself as The Punisher. He went on to win critical acclaim for his role in The Bear and won a well-deserved Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. in 2024. Is Bernthal too busy for a voice role on Invincible, though? Especially if he's supposed to reprise the Marvel anti-hero in a standalone Disney+ special?
2. Steven Ogg
Steven Ogg also had a brief run on The Walking Dead. He played Steven, the right-hand man of Negan (Morgan). Ogg is best known as the voice of Trevor in the video game Grand Theft Auto V. The Alone in the Dark actor has the most voice acting experience to make Thragg work.
1. Andrew Lincoln
Who wouldn't want Andrew Lincoln to reteam with The Walking Dead creator on another project? Lincoln became the breakout star of the horror series as the main protagonist, Rick Grimes. This pick would be epic casting if Lincoln turns out to be playing Thragg.
