Invincible Season 4 fans love Lee Pace’s casting as Thragg
Amazon Prime Video confirmed at New York Comic Con that Invincible Season 4 will premiere in March 2026 and that Lee Pace has joined the cast as Thragg, leader of the Viltrumites. The announcement arrived alongside a teaser trailer highlighting returning cast members Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, and J.K. Simmons. The previous season debuted in February 2025 and received an early Season 5 renewal during San Diego Comic-Con in July.
The casting news quickly trended across X (formerly Twitter), where fans praised Pace’s addition to the ensemble. One fan wrote, “INSANELY GOOD CASTING,” while another celebrated with, “WHAT, WE WON!” An individual commented, “Lee Pace is perfect casting. This is going to be intense.”
Many also referenced his earlier roles as Ronan in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Ned in Pushing Daisies. Another post read, “He played Ned in Pushing Daisies and Ronan in Guardians of the Galaxy. Excellent casting choice.” A separate comment added, “Lee Pace will redefine Thragg, proving that true talent always rises to the occasion regardless of the pressure.” These reactions collectively accumulated thousands of views within hours of the announcement.
Season 4 continues after the events of the Invincible War, where Mark Grayson faced Angstrom Levy’s multiversal army. The new season will introduce Conquest (voiced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and pick up unresolved storylines involving Atom Eve, Cecil Stedman, and Battle Beast.
Amazon’s decision to reveal Thragg’s casting at NYCC marks one of the show’s most-discussed updates since its 2021 debut, with Lee Pace’s involvement drawing widespread excitement from both comic readers and animation fans.
