Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for season 2 of Invincible during the New York Comic Con panel.

It focuses on Mark's burning desire to resume fighting crime, despite the brutal beating inflicted upon him by his own father, Omni-Man, in the season 1 finale. However, Mark's journey back into the fold won't be a smooth one. As depicted in the video, he continues to grapple with the malevolent legacy left behind by his father, which ultimately pits him against the villainous Angstrom Levy from the multiverse.

What The New Trailer Reveals About Invincible Season 2 & The Future

The fragment

While it has been known that he would be the primary antagonist for the season, it is exciting confirmation that Kirkman and showrunner Simon Racioppa are staying true to the comic books by adapting Levy's origin story accurately. Levy, a scientist introduced in issue No. 16 of the Invincible comics, possesses the power to create portals to alternate universes. He is driven by the goal to construct a machine that can harness the knowledge of his other versions. Despite receiving assistance from the Mauler twins across multiple dimensions, Levy's experiment fails due to the intervention of Invincible. This leads to a significant deformity in Levy's body and fuels his desire for revenge against Mark.

The Invincible season 2 trailer primarily focuses on Mark's struggles with embracing his Viltrumite heritage and his realization that his race intends to take over Earth. Allen the Alien, portrayed by Seth Rogen, pleads with members of the Coalition of Planets, assuring them that Mark is different from his father and has good intentions for Earth. However, others warn Mark that his powers pose a danger rather than a help. The trailer captures the consequences of Mark's battles, showing the destruction caused and Mark's emotional distress.

One interpretation of these scenes suggests a potential shift towards villainy in Invincible season 2. It also hints at the possibility that the visions of an evil Mark could be from a future version he aims to prevent. However, a more likely explanation relates to Levy's backstory, where in the comics, a variant scientist triggers Mark's transformation into a multiverse villain. Levy's invitation for revenge and the image of Mark warning humanity not to resist, both borrowed from Kirkman's graphic novel but with minor show adaptations, create an intriguing character dynamic to anticipate.

The first four episodes of Invincible season 2 will air weekly beginning November 3, followed by a mid-season hiatus with the rest premiering in early 2024.
