The streaming wars have been in impact for years now, with every service having its personal acclaimed unique content material. These with an Amazon Prime subscription have been lately handled to Season 3 of Invincible, however there are nonetheless lingering questions on whether or not or not a live-action film will ever occur. And Robert Kirman lately offered an replace on that long-gestating undertaking.
Whereas Kirkman commonly expresses curiosity in an Invincible flick, the timeline of the upcoming superhero film nonetheless is not clear. This topic as soon as once more got here up throughout an interview with ComicBook, the place he expressed confidence {that a} live-action film adaptation is an inevitability. As he put it:
Sadly, there’s not a lot I can say. I’ll say that the tv present makes it vastly simpler and vastly harder in numerous totally different elements of the event of the film. That’s type of the place I’ve to depart it, sadly. It’s nonetheless early going. I might be shocked if it doesn’t occur at some point.
Okay then. Whereas not precisely a affirmation or a launch date, it sounds just like the comedian guide author thins that an Invincible film will occur ultimately. Hopefully we get extra data quickly, and precise concrete growth on the undertaking will transfer ahead. Fingers crossed.
After all, followers of the franchise (myself included) won’t wish to maintain their breath. Simply because Kirkman thinks an Invincible film is not occurring doesn’t suggest that there is any deal inked or something official occurring. As a substitute, he appears centered on the animated collection in the meanwhile.
Invincible’s Season 3 finale was a doozy, with Mark, Eve, and Oliver participating in a horrifying battle with the Viltrumite Conquest. It was an epic and bloody struggle, one which seemingly killed a ton of innocents within the course of. And thru a lot of the episode I used to be questioning how this sequence may look in live-action.
Certainly, the largest problem in giving Invincible a live-action adaptation could be making an attempt to provide the undertaking the identical scale because the comics and animated collection. The heroes within the collection are wildly sturdy and quick, particularly the Viltrumutes like Omni-Man and Invincible himself. Add within the franchise’s penchant for gore and brutal violence and there are a selection of potential street blocks to the film getting a live-action film.
Working example: Season 1’s scene the place Omni-Man places his son in entrance of a subway and makes use of him to tear by the physique of numerous passengers. It is already disturbing on the web page and within the TV collection, however seeing the sort of bloodbath play out in live-action would little question be even worse. We’ll simply have to attend and see if the film ever occurs.
Invincible’s first three season (and the Atom Eve particular) are streaming of their entirety on Amazon. Sadly, we should not count on to see extra new episodes as a part of the 2025 TV premiere checklist.
