Invincible Season 4: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
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.

Stunning photo of pink spoonbills soaring over a shark wins photo prize
A flock of roseate spoonbills flies overhead as a shark hunts mullet below. The water of Florida's Everglades wetlands is turquoise and calm. But the serene image tells a bigger story, of the bright pink spoonbills that are becoming increasingly rare due in part to sea level rise and the loss of mangrove habitat where they forage for fish. The striking photograph, taken by Mark Ian Cook, won the grand prize in the 2025 Mangrove Photography Awards. 'It clearly shows the diversity of life that lives and dies, both aerial and aquatic, in the same space and time, that all depends on the mangrove ecosystem,' said judge, photojournalist and marine biologist Sirachai 'Shin' Arunrugstichai, in a press release. The awards, in its 11th year, aims to raise awareness of mangrove forests — salt-tolerant trees living where freshwater meets saltwater — which are found in more than 120 countries worldwide. This year, it received a record 3,303 entries from 78 nations. 'The goal of the Mangrove Photography Awards is to captivate and inspire audiences across the globe,' Leo Thom, creative director and founder of the awards, told CNN. 'We want to expose the beauty and complexity of mangrove ecosystems and, most importantly, to spark emotional connections that lead to conservation action on the ground.' Mangroves are key in fighting climate change, as they are carbon sinks, serve as a natural barrier against flooding, and provide a habitat to endangered animals like tigers and jaguars. But they are one of the world's most threatened ecosystems. According to the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems, more than half of global mangroves are at risk of collapse by 2050. 'Despite their importance, mangroves are often still overlooked,' said Thom. 'Unlike iconic ecosystems such as the Amazon rainforest, mangroves are frequently misjudged and seen as mosquito-infested swamps or wastelands. 'This is where photography becomes a powerful tool for change. It offers a window into the real stories of mangroves,' he added. One of the categories in the awards is dedicated to mangrove threats. The winning image, taken by Tom Quinney, shows a mountain of waste towering over a dwindling mangrove forest in southern Bali, Indonesia. Runners up in the same category depict horseshoe crabs tangled in fishing nets, mangrove forests that have been converted for prawn aquaculture, and drought. Other commended images show how people depend on mangrove forests for their livelihoods. A series of photos depict women collecting honeycomb in the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, which is primarily in Bangladesh. Rising sea levels, salinity and more extreme cyclones are damaging the forest and displacing communities. The images 'reveal the intricate relationships and vibrant biodiversity … and show the profound human connections within coastal communities that depend on mangroves for their way of life,' said Thom. '(It's) more than a contest,' he added. 'It's a call to observe, feel and learn. It's a platform for photographers to speak up for one of the world's most vital, yet misunderstood ecosystems.'

I tested the Toniebox and Yoto Player for 2 weeks, and they helped my kids cut down their TV time
The Toniebox offers a lighter, simpler media player, unlocking the door for its many cutesy and beautifully rendered figurines, which are a highlight of this device. The box itself is very durable, bright, and has a satisfying squidginess to it, and even though its audio isn't quite stellar, it's a big hit for younger folk. The Yoto Player delivers a solid audio performance coupled with an adorable lo-fi screen. Its cards keep things simple and pack in a fair bit of media, making them easy to travel with. Its app also offers plenty of control and packs in heaps of free content, representing excellent value. As a busy dad of two, I'm always looking for ways to reduce my children's screen time, which is why kids' audioplayers like the Toniebox and Yoto Player seem like a good proposition. Devoid of a typical display, both allow kids to listen to songs and stories without needing to focus on a screen. They also give them the independence to choose what to play, so parents don't have to worry about YouTube's algorithm going off reservation or their kids turning into TV zombies after long sessions in charge of the remote. While they work in similar ways, the Toniebox and Yoto Player have some key differences, which we'll outline further on. And not only will you read my thoughts on the two devices, you'll also discover what my 6-year-old thinks of them. Plus, do they actually reduce screen time? Toniebox Yoto Player (3rd Gen) Ages 3+ 3-12+ Dimensions 120mm x 120mm x 120mm 110mm x 110mm x 105mm Weight 600g 678g Battery life 7 hours 24+ hours A Toniebox Starter Set is available from the Tonies website for $99.99, with a choice of six colours. Some come bundled with a licensed figure, such as Moana or Spider-Man. Tonies also sell bigger discounted bundles, which is great if you're looking to build your collection quickly. The Tonies figures themselves typically range from $9.99 to $19.99. The third-gen Yoto Player can be yours for $99.99 from the Yoto website and comes with a Welcome Card for overwriting with your own recorded audio. It only comes in a dual white and gray color, though jackets in varying shades are available for an additional $20 when bought together. There's a bit more variance in how much Yoto cards cost, with the cheapest cards starting from around $4 and rising to around $14.99 for more popular compendiums. The Toniebox is the slightly bigger box, which features a tactile, squidgy cube design with a plastic, magnetized top to help secure figurines, LED status square, and asymmetric rubber ears serving as the volume buttons. It's clearly built for some rough and tumble, which I tested immediately when I accidentally dropped it, emerging completely unscathed. You wouldn't want to drop the Yoto Player — its chunkier, all-plastic design feels more fragile. It's got a clean, retro alarm clock look to it, with orange dials on the top corners for volume and track selection, and a card slot on the top. Its key feature is its display, which doesn't play video but pixelated stills — seeing fan favorites like Elmo and Paddington brought to life in vibrant mosaic style is genuinely charming. On the rear is a wedge design for tilting and an integrated nightlight. The Toniebox integrates a minimalist control setup, perfect for smaller kids. Simply place a figurine on the top, and it'll start playing. You're supposed to tap the sides to skip a track or repeat the previous, though it requires a fairly firm tap to acknowledge your input. I tried teaching the technique to my daughter, and while it took a few goes, we eventually got the hang of it. You can also tilt the box to fast forward and rewind. The Yoto Player offers a greater level of control but needs more nuanced inputs. During playback with a card, you can click the dials to track forward or back and twist the left dial to control volume. With a spin of the right dial, you can bring up a track selector, represented onscreen by the card's track number and relevant icon. The power button on the side also doubles as a pause button. The Toniebox does a moderate job in the sound quality department — its single speaker has a comparable volume to the Yoto, but there's a slight muffling in the audio that dampens its crispness. Putting Moana's You're Welcome on, I also noticed a lack of oomph in the rap elements, and audiobooks, while offering decent clarity, do carry some tinniness in the vocals. The Yoto Player's dual speaker setup is the winner here. With the volume cranked up, clarity is excellent for such a diminutive box, and there's even a surprisingly decent bass response — just don't expect it to compete with your Bose. I stuck on Moana: The Songs, and its mid-range notes filled the room with crisp lucidity. Both players work similarly, involving a concealed NFC chip in a figurine or card. Once placed or inserted, the player can determine if the media tied to the chip needs to be downloaded, played from local memory, or streamed via Wi-Fi. With the Toniebox, an attractive prospect for kids is collecting the figurines, particularly the licensed models. Queen Elsa and Moana came with my sample pack, and both models represent excellent detail and quality and near-perfect representations of their big screen counterparts. A word of warning though — keep these figures safe, as if they're lost in a toy box or go walkabout, you won't be able to play that media again. The Yoto gets around this issue with its cards — once downloaded, the media syncs with your phone's app, so you can quickly zap over your kid's favourite story without having to rifle through your card library or control the device directly; handy while on car journeys, for example. Due to their size, neither system is particularly portable, and you'd argue that the Tonies figurines are trickier to haul around. Though the Yoto cards don't offer the aesthetic appeal of the Tonies, they're easier to lug around in a card wallet. There is an impressive array of over 200 Tonies available, including Disney's Encanto, Frozen, and Tangled as well as popular characters from Toy Story, Sesame Street, and Cocomelon. I can see kids wanting to build up a vast collection of them, so they can make for great stocking fillers or smaller gifts from relatives. One licensed figurine generally crams in between 30 and 60 minutes of audio. And while the Frozen figure features an abridged story, it would have been nice to pack in a few extra songs than the four included for $20. It's also worth pointing out that not all Tonies feature their film's original songs, instead sung by different vocalists. I was slightly disappointed this was the case, seeing as the company has gone to great lengths to ensure their figurines look authentic. Both the Moana and Frozen tracks feature alternate singers, though Encanto does carry the original vocals, so it's worth checking out product previews to hear what you're getting. That said, while it might cause some uncanny feelings in parents, having different vocals didn't perturb my daughter at all, and she was content playing through all of them. Yoto also carries popular favourites such as Frozen, Moana, and Peppa Pig. While their cards have fewer of the Disney brands, they have much more expansive audiobook selection, with Paddington, The Gruffalo, and the works of Julia Donaldson and Roald Dahl on their roster. The choice is staggering too, with over 1,200 storybooks, music albums, and compilations available. These cards might not be as exciting as the Tonies, but the range means they can suit younger and older kids. I also checked with Yoto HQ, and they confirmed that all their Disney range features the original vocalists on its licensed songs. Another difference is that while the Tonies generally feature a handful of songs plus a shortened story, the Yoto splits them up, selling one card with more songs and another packing in a longer story — both Encanto cards are $14.99. So really, it's a toss-up between the Tonies figurine with less content, and the Yoto card with more. As the Toniebox emphasizes user independence, there's no way to control playback via smartphone app, but you can check out Tonies for sale, review the Tonies you've registered, adjust volume limits and record your own audio. There's also a Free section that carries a decent selection of audiobook samples and free songs and books. The app is looks very clean and is very easily navigable. The Yoto app handily carries all of the media that's tied to your account, so you can operate it like a remote for your player. It also has a create studio feature and news section for product announcements. The standout feature is the Discover section, which has a host of sleep sounds, free podcasts, and exclusive radio stations, giving it a big boost to its value offering. The app itself can be a little trickier to navigate due to its many sections, but most won't have any issues. The Toniebox yields around 7 hours on a single charge. It relies on a bespoke charging base rather than USB-C, so you'll need to remember to pack that if you're on the road. The Yoto Player handily accepts USB-C charging and delivers over 24 hours of playback. Unsurprisingly, my six-year-old was immediately drawn to the Tonies. She loved the songs, figures, and design and squidgyness of the Toniebox. As stated before, when I questioned the use of alternate vocals, she didn't mind at all. And while it took a few goes to get the skipping tracks tap technique right, she enjoyed the tactile experience. She also liked the Yoto Player — albeit to a lesser extent — particularly its cute, pixelated display that she said was very colorful. At the age of six, however, she was more interested in the licensed content that she knew of, rather than giving new stuff a chance. We've been testing both for nearly two weeks, and she's only been too happy to slot in a card or figurine and have a big sing-off with Queen Elsa, Mirabel, and co. Importantly, getting her off the TV has felt less of a chore, and it's great that she's engaging so well with the licensed content. With all that said, in my daughter's view, the Toniebox emerges victorious. Both the Toniebox and Yoto Player have a lot to offer for kids, and their media libraries are extensive. Importantly, both represent a novel way for them to take charge of their media consumption and are much safer and appropriate than letting them loose on an iPad or YouTube. It can be all too easy for them to be hooked on screens these days, so having these devices around is beneficial to give their eyes a rest and get their imaginations flowing. Just be aware that investing in either device locks you into an ecosystem of having to buy more and more figurines and cards, and at around $10-20 a pop, costs can soon spiral. Younger kids will no doubt prefer the colorful Toniebox and its exciting range of gorgeous figurines. With that said, older kids, particularly preteens, will get a lot of enjoyment out of discovering newer books and free content with the Yoto Player. For its functions, superior audio performance, and longevity, the Yoto gets my vote, but there's no denying the Toniebox's vibrant appeal among smaller audiences, including my 6-year-old.
