Actor Aaron Paul refuses to return to Prime Video’s Invincible due to overwhelming content
Aaron Paul, known for his role in Breaking Bad, has been making waves in the superhero genre. From voicing Mecha-Man in Dispatch to playing Powerplex in Prime Video’s Invincible, he’s been diving into complex characters. But don’t expect to see him back in Invincible anytime soon. According to Paul, the role of Powerplex took him to some uncomfortable places he didn’t want to revisit.
During an interview, Aaron Paul shared, “Powerplex is not just messing around. He’s going through turmoil. I put myself in that skin, and it was a skin I didn’t feel comfortable in, to be honest. I didn’t want to do it anymore.” While the character of Powerplex is set to return in future seasons of Invincible, Paul has made it clear that he won’t be reprising the role. And that’s okay; playing villains can be emotionally taxing, and not everyone is up for it.
For fans eager to see more of Aaron Paul’s work, they can catch him as Mecha-Man in Dispatch. The optimistic and friendly world of Dispatch offers a stark contrast to the dark and intense character of Powerplex. So, while we may not see Paul back in Invincible, there’s still plenty to look forward to in his upcoming projects.
