Invincible season 2's second part is incoming, and a previous whisper has returned, highlighting the potential appearance of a popular character from another franchise.

Invincible is one of the most popular superhero IPs outside of the Marvel/DC dichotomy, with the widely acclaimed graphic novel series seeing an unprecedented surge in that popularity thanks to its animated adaptation courtesy of Prime Video. The first season was a success, with fans praising the largely faithful adaptation of the comics, amongst other things. Additionally, fans have been hoping this trend keeps up, as Invincible season 2 clues point to a Spider-Man crossover based on a fan-favorite mini-arc in the comics finally making it to the screen.

God of War's live-action adaptation has the opportunity to truly test how faithful it wants to be with the games' most rare storytelling technique.

While the first part of Invincible season 2 gives Mark Grayson an important new role, the second part of the season holds a lot of promise, as the progress on adapting the comics might encompass the much-anticipated crossover that sees Mark meet the one and only Spider-Man from Marvel Comics. In response to a post on X confirming that Josh Keaton, who voiced Peter Parker/Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man, will lend his vocal talents on Invincible for the second half of season 2, the account MyTimeToShineHello would post, “Can confirm it’s what you think it is.” While vague, the post was loud and clear to fans in the know, who have been waiting for news on the potential cameo since the show was announced.

The other half of the second season comes just months after the first, keeping in line with Invincible creator Robert Kirkman promising fans that large breaks were done. The second part of the season contains another four episodes, as highlighted by Cryptic HD QUALITY on X, who also indicated the Spider-Man cameo with a web emoji next to the last episode in their runtime breakdown. Some fans doubted the confirmation, with one user asking if that was a hill they were willing to die on, ending with the sentiment Rest in Peace, to which Cryptic HD QUALITY would hilariously post an image of Spider-Man in his symbiote suit emerging from a grave with the caption, “Me 4 hours after the episodes drop💀💀.”

There’s little information about Keaton's involvement in Invincible at this specific time in the show’s timeline. However, it’s clear why some might be skeptical of such an ambitious crossover involving Spider-Man. For one, Spider-Man famously required Marvel Studios and Sony to unite to bring to the big screen in Tom Holland's Home trilogy because the latter owns the Spider-Man film rights. However, if it can be done, it will be a fan-favorite moment and propel the Invincible series even further into the limelight. The two characters fit well together and have a fair amount in common as individuals and in terms of their stories, with many people even convinced that an Invincible video game could be an M-rated Marvel's Spider-Man due to the similarities.

The show is such a massive success that it’s worth considering if a live-action Invincible film is necessary. With a live-action film confirmed to be on the way and more media like video games, multiple seasons, and spin-offs in the works, fans certainly have more than just one cameo to look forward to.

Invincible season 2, part 2, is currently set for release on Prime Video on March 14, 2024.
