Summary

Steven Yeun has seemingly bump a surprising role in the live - actionInvinciblemovie . In the animated show , Yeun plays the young champion , Mark Grayson , who struggles to cope with his place in the galaxy . The show premiere in 2021 and is based on theInvinciblecomic , which was produce by Robert Kirkman , Cory Walker , and Ryan Ottley . It is currently in the middle of time of year 2 , having taken a short mid - time of year fracture . The live - actionInvinciblemovie , meanwhile , has been in development since 2017 .

TheInvincibleseason 2 , part 1 endingoffered insight into the future of the show . The picture show is another story , as its development has been slow . While word about its yield is circumscribed , Kirkman has offered some insight into the casting cognitive operation . While speaking withIGN , Kirkman seemingly revealed that Steven Yeun will be play Cecil Stedman , the head of the Global Defense Agency . Check out his quote below :

It ’s going through the pipeline slowly . The strikes and everything kind of put a interruption on thing for a while . We ’re just now getting back into that , and it ’s all very exciting but it ’s not something that we ’re rushing , it ’s something that we unquestionably want to get right . Now that the show is out and the recreate series is doing well , we ’re trying to figure out ways to ensure that it stand apart , works in tandem with the show . To show how cool Invincible is and and does n’t detract from it in any way . So there ’s a pile of maneuvering that has to go into that and so it is taking a picayune turn of time but I ca n’t wait for everyone to see Steven Yeun as Cecil Stedman .

Is Kirkman Joking About The Invincible Movie?

With so lilliputian information about theInvinciblemovie , it would be easy to believe everything that Kirkman say about its production . After all , the quietus of his statement was a fairly serious answer , which would make a pivot man into an unexpected trick surprising . Even if Kirkman ’s chronicle are unpredictable , asthe season 1 ending revealed , the man himself does n’t necessarily need to be .

Invincibleis usable for cyclosis on Prime Video .

If Kirkman is telling the truth , then Steven Yeun being honk as Cecil Stegman would be a monumental modification of tempo . Yeun is used to playing the heroic Mark Grayson , so switch to the underhanded authorities agent would be a serious shift in centering for him . He also barely looks the part . Cecil is an old and bitter broker , while Yeun is only 40 twelvemonth old . It would take major make - up body of work to make Yeun jibe Cecil . With that in mind , it is probable that Kirkman is just joking about Yeun ’s casting .

Yeun does have experience with bouncy - action acting , which would make some sort of show potential . He had a long stint withThe walk Deadand has appear inThe Twilight Zone , Nope , andBeefin the past few years . For him to come back to live - legal action would be similarly unsurprising , give that he is set to star in the moviesLove MeandMickey 17within the next two years . Even if Kirkman ’s comment about Yeun playing Cecil is a joke , Yeun may still asterisk in the live - actionInvinciblemovie .
