BREAKING: Aaron Paul has officially announced he will not reprise his role as Powerplex in the upcoming seasons of Prime Video’s hit series, Invincible. In a recent episode of the Kinda Funny podcast, Paul revealed that he turned down an offer due to the emotional toll the character took on him, stating, “What it did to me, I didn’t like.”
This news comes just ahead of the anticipated season four premiere in March, leaving fans to wonder how the series will adapt without the voice of the acclaimed actor. Paul portrayed Powerplex, an electricity-controlling supervillain, whose backstory includes a tragic vendetta linked to the events of the first season.
Powerplex first appeared in the episode titled “All I Can Say is Sorry,” where his character accidentally caused the death of his wife and son during a confrontation with Invincible. This storyline left a significant emotional impact on viewers and highlighted the darker themes of the series. Paul expressed that he enjoyed working on Invincible, but the experience was “too grueling” for him, prompting his decision to step away.
Despite Paul’s exit, the character of Powerplex continues to play a vital role in the comics, suggesting that fans will still see this formidable villain in future adaptations—albeit with a new voice. The decision not to return is sure to resonate with audiences who appreciated Paul’s intense portrayal.
For those seeking to hear Paul in a more uplifting role, he has recently lent his voice to AdHoc Studio’s Dispatch, which has been nominated for a prestigious award at the Game Awards.
Fans of Invincible will need to stay tuned as the series evolves without Paul’s involvement. The departure of such a prominent voice actor raises questions about the future direction of the show and its characters. As the premiere of season four approaches, viewers will be eager to see how the series navigates these changes.
