Summary
Invinciblehas paved the way for a bigThe Walking Deadreunion. Two stars from the hit gritty drama have come together again forInvincibleSeason 3, but the tables have turned this time.
Invincibleis an adult animated superhero series based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book of the same name. The first season debuted on Jun 24, 2025, and the second season followed two years later. Both Season 1 and Season 2 were well-received, with the former receiving 98% ratings from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and the latter a perfect 100% score. The third season brought two stars fromThe Walking Dead, but this time, their encounter is on another level.
Jeffrey Dean MorganjoinsInvincibleSeason 3 as Conquest, one of the most brutal and sadistic enemies of Mark Grayson aka the titular Invincible (Steven Yeun). Conquest is a high-ranking soldier who is purely evil and is deemed one of Mark’s most dangerous nemesis. Prior toInvincible, Morgan and Yeun worked together onThe Walking Deadas Negan and Glenn, respectively. In the series, Negan whipped Glenn to death to establish fear over Rick’s group of protagonists. The unforgettable scene caught the audience by surprise as no one expected Glenn to die since he was a true fan favorite. This time, Yeun and Morgan’s encounter will be much different because Yeun’s characterInvincibleis superior to Morgan’s Conquest. Morgan acknowledged some similarities between Negan and Conquest and jokingly said the reunion is Yeun’s “chance at redemption.” Morgan said, perEntertainment Weekly:
I was just thrilled to get to be a part of it and give Steven his chance at redemption.
Even if Morgan and Yeun’s characters inThe Walking Deadwere at odds, the two actors were actually good friends. Yeun was even pleased to work with Morgan again inInvincibleSeason 3. “We certainly couldn’t ignore that fact… All I can say is that it is always a pleasure and honor to work with Jeffrey Dean Morgan,” Yeun wrote in an email obtained by EW. “He is a great actor and human and also knows how to play a tremendous heel.”
Morgan and Yeun’s reunion inInvincibleSeason 3 is their first project together afterThe Walking Dead. Although both were busy after the apocalyptic thriller, they were unsurprisingly working on separate projects. So, Morgan and Yeun’s face-off asConquest and Invincibleexcites fans. Although the show has nothing to do with their original series together, the duo working together again is enough to stir excitement. The pair have great acting chemistry, and many are excited to see Yeun’s character have the upper hand because they feel that Glenn didn’t deserve the tragic death at the hands of Morgan’s Negan. InTWD, Negan eventually changed over time, but despite redeeming himself, murdering Glenn stuck with fans as one of his darkest acts.
Finally, Yeun will be able to get back at Morgan inInvincible. Although Invincible’s battle with Conquest is one of the bloodiest in the series, he eventually defeats Conquest in the comic series. So, yes, Morgan is right that Yeun will be able to redeem himself this time. Fans can’t wait to witness that.
