NYCC 25 gives Invincible reveals! Season 4

Invincible Season 4: Lee Pace Cast as Thragg in Epic NYCC 2025 Teaser Reveal

ByKorey Epps

The wait for Invincible is always a tough one, but the payoff is always worth it. After a record-shattering third season, fans have been desperately clinging to any scrap of news about what comes next for Mark Grayson. Well, the wait for information is over. During a packed New York Comic Con panel, Prime Video dropped a bombshell on over 4,500 screaming fans: a brand new, Burger Mart-themed teaser for Invincible Season 4. And it came with a release window.

Get ready to mark your calendars, because Invincible is officially set to return in March 2026. Yes, it’s a bit of a wait, but if the teaser is anything to go by, the creative team is using every second to craft another masterpiece of superhero storytelling.

What Happens in the Invincible Season 4 Teaser?

The teaser opens in a scene that feels both familiar and deeply unsettling. Mark Grayson and Eve Wilkens, finally reunited as a couple, are sharing a meal at a rundown Burger Mart. The place is a mess, a clear casualty of the city-leveling battle that capped off Season 3.

Mark, ever the lovable, slightly oblivious hero, is chowing down on a disturbingly gray hamburger. He’s recounting his “victory” over Conquest, telling Eve how fans used to complain he could never win a fight. His version of events is, let’s say, a little embellished. We see a flashback where a ridiculously heroic-looking Mark single-handedly dismantles the army of alternate-reality Invincibles, quipping about “throwing their thick, muscly buns off his plans.” It’s classic Invincible humor, blending gore with a self-aware wink to the audience.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be an Invincible teaser without a meta-joke. As the title card flashes the March 2026 release date, Mark breaks the fourth wall, cheekily asking when Season 5 will drop before yelling, “Enough already!”—a perfect nod to the fan base’s eternal impatience.

Who is the New Villain in Invincible Season 4?

As if a new teaser and a release window weren’t enough, the NYCC panel had one more colossal surprise. The casting news fans have been dreaming of is finally here: Lee Pace is joining the cast as the voice of Grand Regent Thragg.

For those who haven’t read the comics, this is a massive deal. Thragg isn’t just another villain-of-the-week; he is arguably the most formidable and terrifying antagonist in the entire Invincible saga. He is the iron-fisted ruler of the Viltrum Empire, a being of immense power, ruthless cunning, and unwavering brutality. Groomed for leadership since birth, his singular mission is to restore Viltrum to its former glory, and he will let nothing and no one stand in his way.

Pace, known for his commanding presence in roles like Ronan the Accuser in Guardians of the Galaxy and Emperor Cleon in Foundation, is the perfect choice to bring Thragg’s terrifying authority to life. His voice has the weight and gravity needed for a character who can make even Omni-Man tremble. The arrival of Thragg signals a dark and bloody new chapter for Mark Grayson, one that will push him to his absolute limits and beyond.

The stage is set for a conflict of epic proportions. With Thragg in the picture, the stakes have never been higher. His introduction means the Viltrumite War is about to escalate in a way we’ve only seen glimpses of so far. Prepare for heartbreak, brutal battles, and a story that will redefine what it means to be a hero. March 2026 can’t come soon enough.
