Summary

– Gurira reunites with former Walking Dead co-star Steven Yeun
Invincible Season 4 is set to welcome a familiar face from The Walking Dead universe, as Danai Gurira has officially joined the voice cast ahead of the show’s upcoming return.
Gurira, best known for her portrayal of Michonne, has been cast as a mysterious new antagonist named Universa. The role places her alongside Steven Yeun, who voices Mark Grayson, marking a reunion between the two actors who previously worked together on The Walking Dead.
The animated series, created by Robert Kirkman, has developed a strong connection to alums from his long-running zombie franchise. Over the years, numerous Walking Dead cast members have appeared in Invincible, continuing a trend that blends familiar voices into the superhero-driven story.
Universa is described as a powerful alien whose origins and home world remain largely unknown. Armed with the Staff of Leadership, she is driven by a mission to save her planet, a quest that will eventually bring her into conflict with Invincible and his allies.
Gurira’s casting adds another high-profile name to an already stacked lineup. Her most recent Walking Dead appearance came in the spinoff The Ones Who Lived, where she reprised her role alongside Andrew Lincoln. Outside of television, she is also recognized for her work in film, theater, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Season 4 of Invincible is expected to premiere within the next few months. The series has earned widespread critical acclaim across its first three seasons, establishing itself as one of Prime Video’s most celebrated animated shows.
