Spider-Man Unlikely to Appear in Invincible Animated Series, Says Creator Robert Kirkman

Kirkman expressed his desire for a collaboration between Amazon, Disney, and Marvel, but stated that it is highly unlikely to happen. He clarified that his statement was not a tease, indicating that the Invincible show will primarily focus on its own characters.

While the Invincible comic book has previously featured crossovers with various famous superheroes and teams such as The Tick, Batman, The Avengers, and Spider-Man, it seems that the animated series will not follow suit.

Speculation Surrounding Spider-Man’s Potential Appearance in Invincible Animated Series

Speculation regarding Spider-Man’s potential appearance in Invincible gained traction when voice actor Josh Keaton confirmed his involvement in the show’s second season. Keaton, known for his portrayal of Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series, hinted at his participation without revealing the character he voices in Invincible.

Character Arc of Omni-Man in Invincible Animated Series

Kirkman also discussed the character arc of Omni-Man, the show’s villainous character. He emphasized that Omni-Man is not an evil character, despite his heinous actions. Kirkman mentioned that Omni-Man’s journey will undergo significant development throughout the series, differentiating him from other “evil Supermen” such as Homelander from Amazon’s The Boys.

Progress of the Live-Action Invincible Movie

Regarding the progress of the live-action Invincible movie, Kirkman shared that it is still in the early stages. He jokingly suggested that by the time the movie is released, Steven Yeun, who voices the protagonist Mark in the animated series, may be better suited to play the character Cecil Stedman.

Kirkman acknowledged that the movie’s development was briefly halted due to industry strikes but assured fans that they are taking their time to ensure it is done right. The goal is for the movie to complement the animated series and showcase the coolness of the Invincible universe without detracting from the show’s success.
