In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Robert Kirkman confirmed the live-action
Invincible movie “is still very much in development” and exists separately from the upcoming Amazon Studios animated series.
That is still very much in development. That hasn’t changed. We’re just taking a long time. But we’ve been fortunate enough to have a two-track plan with
Invincible. Right now we’ve got the animated series at Amazon, which is now on the cusp of launching, and then we’re also still developing it as a film series with Universal, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg attached. So, those two things are still very much happening concurrently, which is somewhat weird, I guess. But there’ve been Spider-Man animated series and Spider-Man movies at the same time. So, I think we’re in good company.
