Invincible creator Robert Kirkman recently addressed the recasting of Ezra Miller in season 2 of the animated superhero series. Miller originally voiced the character D. A. Sinclair, a mad scientist who conducted gruesome experiments on humans to create ReAnimen. Despite Sinclair's brief appearance in season 1, the show hinted at his return in season 2. However, in season 2, part 2, viewers noticed that Miller was no longer voicing the character.
Kirkman explained in an interview that Miller's recasting was due to scheduling conflicts, emphasizing that it was a common occurrence in large ensemble casts. He also mentioned another recast in season 2 involving the character Rick Sheridan. Kirkman praised Eric Bauza, Miller's replacement, for his talent and experience in animation.
In the series, Sinclair's character is a villainous scientist who believes in enhancing humans by turning them into cyborgs. His experiments involve abducting individuals and subjecting them to torturous procedures. Despite being thwarted by Invincible in season 1, Sinclair reappears in season 2 under Cecil's supervision, working on perfecting his ReAnimen.
Viewers speculate on Sinclair's future role in the show, especially considering his ties to Cecil and the potential use of ReAnimen against powerful adversaries. With recasting allowing for character continuity, Sinclair's return in future seasons seems likely, although the fate of Bauza's portrayal remains uncertain.
Invincible, based on Robert Kirkman's comic book series, follows Mark Grayson, a teenager navigating life as the son of the superhero Omni-Man. As Mark discovers his own superhuman abilities, he also uncovers the darker aspects of his father's legacy.
