J.K. Simmons and Steven Yeun To Star in Robert Kirkman's Animated Comic Book Series INVINCIBLE
Amazon is producing a new animated series based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series Invincible and Deadline is reporting that Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons will star in it.
They will be joined by an impressive voice cast that includes Sandra Oh, Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Jason Mantzoukas, Mae Whitman, Chris Diamantopoulos, Melise, Kevin Michael Richardson, Grey Griffin and Max Burkholder.
The adult animated superhero series revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson (Yeun), who’s just like every other guy his age — except his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (Simmons). But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.
The series could end up being a ton of fun and it will consist of eight hour-long episodes. It will also premiere at some point in 2020. Skybound is producing the series with supervising directors Justin and Chris Copeland (Avengers Assemble, Ultimate Spider-Man).
This series is on top of the live-action feature film adaptation that Seth Rogen is developing with Evan Goldberg.
