Jason Mantzoukas teases Invincible Season 2 and talks about what it's like being part of the series as a fan of the comics.
Jason Mantzoukas is a big fan of Robert Kirkman’s hit comic book Invincible, which means working on the voice cast of Prime Video’s animated series is a fan’s dream come true. During an exclusive interview with Collider’s Maggie Lovitt for Star Trek: Prodigy, where Mantzoukas plays Jankom Pog, the star talked about being a fan of Invincible long before it was shopped as a TV show and what we can expect from the upcoming Season 2.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The animated adaptation of Invincible premiered last year on Prime Video and quickly became one of the biggest hits in the streaming platform's history. So, of course, we are excited to see how Invincible’s creative team will handle the next comic book arches, especially since Prime Video has already renewed the series up to Season 3.
While we still don’t know which stories Season 2 of Invincible will tell, Mantzoukas told us that working on the series is a dream come true. In the show, Mantzoukas voices Rex Splode, a young hero with a short fuse. In the series, Rex Splode becomes more responsible when Earth’s mightiest heroes die a gruesome death, forcing a younger generation to step up. As a long-time fan of Kirkman’s work, Mantzoukas couldn’t be happier working in Invincible.
That’s the dream, working with something that you love. And in Mantzoukas' case, something similar happens with Star Trek: Prodigy. As Mantzoukas tells us, “as a Star Trek fan, it's incredible to be in a Star Trek show.” Even so, his love for the Invincible comic book is just on another level. As the star says, “Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely bananas and exciting [to work with Star Trek]. But the idea that I'm playing Rex Splode, that's nuts.
