Invincible season 3 spoilers follow.
Invincible has confirmed another big return for season 3, in the form of Ben Schwartz's chaotic comic relief-turned-hero Shapesmith.
The actor spoke to ScreenRant about playing the morphing martian and revealed that he will be back for the next season – following Shapesmith stepping up to do the right thing in the last few episodes of season 2.
"I remember when Robert Kirkman told me what the character is," Schwartz told the publication.
"I wasn't aware of him in the graphic novel of the comics, but I'm a huge fan of that show, I think Invincible's so good – he said, 'Hey, do you want to play this character?'

"He told me kind of what it was, I was like, 'Oh my God, this is so fun.'
"Not only does he have these 'Plastic Man abilities', or Elastic Man, or Mr Fantastic-type of stretching abilities and morphing abilities, but he is hiding that he's really an alien who's trying to pretend that he's a human."
Schwartz added that he likes that the character's qualities mean he can not only play comedy, but also "beautiful scenes of saving the day".
"In the last four that they released, there's this gorgeous fight scene where you see Shapesmith really stand up for the team," he explained.

"I'm excited to keep going too. He's still around, he hasn't bitten the dust yet, so I get to keep playing him until whatever part of the storyline takes him to a place where maybe he's not around anymore, but hopefully he stays for a long, long time."
Kirkman previously teased that Titan and Battle Beast will be back for Invincible season 3, after sitting the second season out.
The show was renewed for a second and third season at the same time after its debut run of episodes had dropped. A fourth season has not been announced at the current time.
Invincible seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Prime Video, with season 3 in the works.
