Live-Action ‘Invincible’ Movie Still Happening, Will Be Seperate From The Upcoming Animated Series

When the Invincible movie was announced in 2017 it came with the news that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg would write and maybe even direct the project. Rogen is providing one of the voices for the upcoming Invincible show, and Kirkman says Rogen and Goldberg are still attached to the film as well:

So will the animated series tie into the movie? It doesn’t sound like it. “There will definitely be some significant differences between the movie and the television show. People will easily be able to tell them apart,” Kirkman said. “We’re definitely working to make sure that the two can exist and complement each other.” As for when we might see the live-action movie, well…that’s still up in the air. According to Kirkman, the movie is still in the “very early going” stages.

In the upcoming Invincible animated series, seventeen-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) is “just like every other guy his age — except that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers that his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.”
