Invincible Season 3 introduced Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Conquest, one of the scariest villains in the show – and there’s a great reason he wanted to join the cast.
The Walking Dead Season 7 opened with one of the most infamous episodes in modern TV history: ‘The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.’
After Season 6’s cliffhanger ending, it properly introduced audiences to the barbed bat-swinging tyranny of Negan (Morgan), the show’s biggest and nastiest antagonist. His debut also came with a huge death: Glenn (Steven Yeun), murdered by Negan and reduced to twitching mush in front of Rick, Maggie, and co.
In October 2016, that particular episode was broadcasted. Over eight years have passed since then, and in 2024, Robert Kirkman delivered an epic showdown known as “Invincible vs Conquest.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan reveals why he joined Invincible cast as Conquest
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Morgan explained why he accepted the role of Conquest in Invincible: he also wanted justice for Glenn.
“I was just thrilled to get to be a part of it and give Steven his chance at redemption,” he said.
Despite striving to satisfy The Walking Dead fans, he made sure Conquest wouldn’t become a carbon copy of Negan 2.0. “I was consciously focusing on my tone,” he explained, emphasizing that he aimed to keep a significant distance from his Walking Dead antagonist.
“It’s so easy for me to get into Negan mode after this many years,” Morgan added.
Morgan was always at the top of Kirkman’s list for Conquest. “I didn’t hesitate just because there is the meta of it all like, ‘Oh, it’s the rematch between Glenn and Negan, and now Glenn gets to win,’” he told Variety.
There was an appealing, engaging quality to it, yet I had concerns it might divert focus from the main event. However, as I became immersed and focused, such thoughts didn’t typically cross my mind.
“I don’t think it ruins the episode or anything, but I think it enhances things and puts an extra level of stakes on it. For anybody who’s a longtime Walking Dead fan, it’s a nice bit of justice.”
