Invincible Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 4, 2025, 20:11 IST Invincible has solidified its place as one of Prime Video's most gripping animated superhero series, captivating audiences with its intense storytelling, emotional depth, and star-studded voice cast. With Season 3's explosive finale leaving fans eager for more, speculation about Invincible Season 4 is at an all-time high. From release date rumors to confirmed cast members and tantalizing plot details, here's everything we know so far about the next chapter of Mark Grayson's superhero journey. Release Date Speculation for Invincible Season 4 While an exact release date for Invincible Season 4 has not been confirmed, multiple sources indicate that the show is on track to premiere in early 2026, likely between March and April. Creator Robert Kirkman has expressed a commitment to reducing the lengthy gaps between seasons, aiming to maintain the cadence established between Seasons 2 and 3 (a roughly 10-month gap). Expected Cast for Invincible Season 4 Invincible boasts an impressive ensemble of voice actors, and Season 4 is expected to bring back many fan-favorite performers while introducing new talent for pivotal roles. Here's a breakdown of the anticipated cast: Steven Yeun as Mark Grayson/Invincible : The heart of the series, Mark Grayson, will return, with Yeun's nuanced performance continuing to anchor the show. J.K. Simmons as Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man : Omni-Man's complex redemption arc will likely continue, with Simmons delivering a powerhouse performance. Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson : Mark's mother remains a key emotional touchstone, expected to navigate new challenges in Season 4. Gillian Jacobs as Atom Eve : Eve's evolving powers and relationship with Mark will be central, with Jacobs confirmed to return. Walton Goggins as Cecil Stedman : The morally ambiguous GDA leader will likely play a significant role, especially given his actions in Season 3's finale. Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Conquest : After surviving Season 3's brutal showdown, Conquest is expected to return, setting up intense confrontations. Clancy Brown as Damien Darkblood : A post-credits scene in Season 3 teased an original storyline for the demon detective, with Brown reprising his role. Seth Rogen as Allen the Alien : Allen's alliance with Mark and Nolan will be crucial, with Rogen confirmed for Season 4. Christian Convery as Oliver Grayson/Kid Omni-Man: Mark's half-brother is growing into his powers, and Convery's role is expected to expand. Invincible Season 4 Potential Plot Invincible Season 4 is poised to be the most action-packed and emotionally charged season yet, building on the dramatic events of Season 3's finale. While specific plot details remain under wraps, several key storylines are expected to dominate, drawing from both the Invincible comics and original content crafted for the show. Here's what we can anticipate: The Viltrumite War Arc Season 4 is widely expected to adapt the Viltrumite War , a pivotal storyline from the comics where Mark, Omni-Man, and the Coalition of Planets face off against the Viltrum Empire. The introduction of Thragg, the ruthless Grand Regent of the Viltrumites, will escalate the stakes, presenting Mark with his most formidable opponent yet. Thragg is described as stronger than Conquest, Anissa, and even Nolan, making him a terrifying threat. The season may open in outer space, focusing on Nolan and Allen the Alien's efforts to prepare for this climactic conflict. The first half could center on building alliances and strategies, while the latter half dives into the war itself, featuring brutal battles and complex moral dilemmas. Mark's Darker Path Season 3 ended with Mark declaring he'll kill anyone who threatens his family, signaling a darker, more ruthless side to his character. This evolution will likely be a focal point, as Mark grapples with the moral implications of his choices while facing new threats. Atom Eve's Powers and Potential Pregnancy Atom Eve's near-death experience in Season 3 revealed new immortality powers, but her malfunctioning abilities could hint at deeper issues. If the show follows the comics, Season 4 may explore Eve's potential pregnancy, adding emotional weight to her relationship with Mark. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

2 GDA officials booked for demanding bribe; 1 held
A supervisor of the Ghaziabad development authority (GDA) has been held for allegedly demanding ₹2 lakh as bribe from a resident for approving construction of a private building in Muradnagar. Police said the anti-corruption team from Meerut, who nabbed the supervisor, has filed an FIR against him along with a junior engineer (JE). The bribe was allegedly demanded on behalf of the JE. The incident came to light on a complaint by Muradnagar resident Surendra Kumar who bought a property on Rawli Road in November 2024 and later constructed a basement and some pillars. Kumar alleged that on May 28, the JE and the supervisor came to the site and asked him to stop work till some talks were held. When the complainant requested them to allow the construction, they demanded ₹2 lakh, without any negotiation, Kumar told the anti-corruption unit. The FIR in this connection was lodged at Muradnagar police station under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and named supervisor Raj Kumar and junior engineer Ajit Kumar, as suspects. The inquiry, prima facie, found that the allegations by the complainant were correct. The investigating team planned to lay a trap and catch the suspects red-handed. On June 2, the supervisor arrived at a designated place in Muradnagar, and the complainant handed him a bag containing the money in cash. While the supervisor was taking the money from Kumar, the team nabbed him. Investigators said he told them that he was collecting the amount as told by the JE as he left to attend some family emergency. 'The FIR names the supervisor and the JE, and the supervisor was arrested by the team of the anti-corruption unit. They also filed the FIR and will take up further investigation in the case,' Surendra Nath Tiwary, deputy commissioner of police (DCP) of rural zone, said. When asked to comment on the allegations, GDA said the act by the staff has dented the image of the authority. 'In connection with the incident, the supervisor has been suspended with immediate effect, and a team will also take up disciplinary action and an inquiry. Meanwhile, senior officials have sought a report about allegations against the JE and will soon apprise the state government about the matter. Further required action will also be taken up,' Rudresh Shukla, media coordinator of GDA, said.

7 months after takeover, squatters & illegal parking still plague Indirapuram
Ghaziabad: Seven months after GDA handed over Indirapuram to the municipal corporation, encroachments, illegal parking and damaged sewer lines—the township's main problems—have remained. While vendors selling fruits, clothes, utensils along the busy roads, like Kala Patthar Road and Makanpur, block pavements, haphazard parking on roadsides chokes daily traffic in the township. "Parking mafia has taken over roads along major malls. Haphazardly parked bikes and cars reduce traffic to a single lane. Drain lids are damaged everywhere. You can't walk on pavements as you risk falling into drains, and you can't walk on roads as you risk being hit by a vehicle from behind," said Ashish Kumar, a resident of the area. Another resident Arvind Mishra said barring door-to-door garbage collection, things have hardly changed. GMC's chief engineer NK Choudhary told TOI that there are surprise anti-encroachment drives across the township but that hasn't helped. He claimed snarls and encroachments are more administrative than civic problems, as the parking mafia was active in the township. Mayor Sunita Dayal, meanwhile, said an anti-encroachment drive was planned after May 30. "In the meantime, a database of roadside shopkeepers is being prepared to ascertain their domicile. Only those will be allowed to conduct business at designated places," Dayal said. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Brother's Day wishes , messages and quotes !

GDA to recover Rs 349 crore from Indirapuram locals to pay farmers
Ghaziabad: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) board has approved the recovery of Rs 349 crore as enhanced land compensation for farmers from around 2 lakh Indirapuram allottees. Officials said a specially constituted committee would determine individual payment amounts for residents of high-rise apartments and plotted societies. The recovery process comes 36 years after the initial land acquisition. The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling of 2019 that mandated enhanced compensation to farmers of Makanpur village — from where GDA acquired 1,295 acres for the Indirapuram township. The land, initially acquired at Rs 90 per square yard between 1986 and 1989, now commands a compensation rate of Rs 297 per square yard. The legal battle began in 1991, when the affected farmers approached the district court seeking higher compensation. The court ruled in their favour in 2001, increasing the rate to Rs 160 per square yard. GDA followed it up with an appeal at the Allahabad high court. But it backfired when the court further enhanced the compensation to Rs 297 per square yard in 2017. The Authority then approached the SC, which upheld this decision in 2019. GDA officials highlighted their legal rights to recover the enhanced compensation, citing a clause in the original allotment agreement that makes allottees liable if compensation was enhanced in the future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo "A committee has been formed to determine the implementation process. Let's wait and see what it has to say," a GDA official said. Kapil Tyagi from Makanpur village, whose ancestral land was acquired for the Indirapuram township in 1989, backed the decision. "This was a long, protracted legal battle, and we won in every court. Indirapuram is now one of the city's most expensive areas. Yet, our land was taken for a pittance," he said. Resident associations, however, are opposing the move. Alok Kumar, a senior member of the Federation of AOAs, argued, "Freehold property owners have no such liability. The agreement between GDA and developers was bilateral. So, individual flat owners cannot be forced to pay enhanced compensation." Indirapuram, now a prime residential area with around 70 builder projects and numerous plotted societies, is set to face a significant financial impact from this decision. "The implementation mechanism and timeline for the recovery are yet to be determined by the newly formed committee. We have to wait and watch," an official said.

Ghaziabad master plan cleared, RRTS & metro corridors set for transit-oriented development
GHAZIABAD : Sent back to the drawing boards several times over the last three years, the unified Master Plan 2031 was finally approved by the GDA board on Tuesday, paving way for implementing the transit-oriented development (TOD) policy that seeks to regulate development around the city's rapid rail, metro and expressway corridors. The master plan, which covers an overall developed area of 33,543.1 hectares—18,687.8 hectares in Ghaziabad, 6,874.9 hectares in Modinagar and 7,980.4 hectares in Loni — will come into effect once the state govt issues a gazette notification, which is expected within a month, an official from GDA said. It proposes to develop TOD and Special Development Area (SAD) zones as land under the mixed-use category with a higher floor area ratio to allow residential and commercial growth. TOD zones will come along a 1.5 km-long rapid rail (4,261.43 hectares) and 500m along the Red Line and Blue Line metro corridors (616.61 hectares). A SAD (909.82 hectares) will come up around the Duhai rapid rail depot. The GDA board, in its 169th board meeting, also cleared a revised layout of the Madhuban Bapudham housing scheme that sought to reallot 373 plots on crematorium land. The Public Access for Housing and Allotment Login (PAHAL) scheme and a proposal to change land use category of a 0.431-hectare plot in Galand from agricultural to industrial under the UP govt's PLEDGE scheme were also approved. "PAHAL portal, which offers services like payment of property dues, checking property ledger, verifying property details, downloading allotment letters, online registration of allotment and applying for mutation at the click of the mouse, will enhance ease of doing business," the official said. The board also gave approval to the Rs 2,384-crore budget allocated for acquiring 336 hectares from five villages, Mathurapur, Shamsher, Champatnagar, Bhanera-Khurd, and Nangla Feroze Mohan Nagar, for the Harnandipuram township. The cost includes 7% stamp duty and 1% registration charge. Last month, a DM-led committee said the land compensation rate for Harnanipuram will be four times the DM circle rates under the Land Acquisition (Rehabilitation & Resettlement) Act, 2013. Which means farmers in Mathurapur, where 14 hectares will be acquired, will receive Rs 4,080 per sqm against the current rate of Rs 1,020. In Shamsher, where 86 hectares are needed, farmers will get Rs 6,760 per sqm, up from the existing Rs 1,690. Champatnagar farmers, who will part with 33 hectares, will receive Rs 4,040 per sqm compared to the current Rs 1,010. For Bhanera-Khurd's 9 hectares, the compensation rate will be Rs 4,240 per sqm, up from Rs 1,060. The largest land portion of 192 hectares will be acquired from Nangla Feroze-Mohan Nagar, where farmers will be compensated at Rs 7,200 per sqm, up from the existing Rs 1,800.
