Abhishek Bachchan is undoubtedly not a bad actor, but his selection of scripts is not always as good as it should be. Ever since he made his acting debut with Refugee in 2000, he has starred in many films, but most of them turned out to be duds at the box-office, corroding his focus as an actor. But it looks like his last release Manmarziya (2018) has changed a lot for the actor.
After staying away from films for a few years, Abhishek Bachchan had his date with box-office with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s critically acclaimed film Manmarziya. The movie helped critics see Junior Bachchan in new light. Not just critics, audiences also poured in a lot of appreciation.
After winning raves for his performance in Manmarziya, Abhishek is reportedly now getting some interesting offers from several filmmakers. Currently, he has two projects in his pocket and the count is expected to rise in coming days.
The actor will soon be making his digital debut with the second season of Amazon Prime’s Breathe. After Breathe, he will reteam with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on celluloid for a film titled Gulab Jamun.
“Abhishek is getting some interesting offers and he is in no mood to pick scripts just for the heck of it. He has chosen some great projects for now and his dates are blocked,” a well-placed source revealed.
Lee Pace joins the voice cast of Prime Video’s Invincible as Thragg in Season 4.
Thragg is the Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire and the most powerful Viltrumite.
Season 4, due March 2026, sets the stage for the ultimate conflict between Mark Grayson and the Viltrumites.
Lee Pace joins as Invincible’s ultimate villain
Prime Video has confirmed that Lee Pace will voice Thragg, the Grand Regent of the Viltrum Empire, in Invincible Season 4. The announcement was made during a panel at New York Comic Con, which also featured a new teaser for the Burger Mart scenes and confirmed the series’ March 2026 release window.
Thragg is the mastermind behind key characters such as Omni-Man, Anissa, and Conquest. As one of the few survivors of the Viltrumite Civil War, he is dedicated to restoring the empire’s dominance. Superior strength, near-immortality, flight, invulnerability, and advanced healing make Thragg the most formidable threat the series has yet faced.
What Thragg means for Mark Grayson and Earth
Season 3 saw Mark Grayson defeat Conquest, the second most powerful Viltrumite, signalling his choice to resist the empire rather than follow his father’s path. Thragg’s arrival elevates the stakes dramatically. Every conflict from this point will centre on Mark’s efforts to mount a credible defence against the Viltrumites, both on Earth and across the galaxy.
Series creator Robert Kirkman said at NYCC, “Thragg is a monumental addition to the show, who is going to change everything you think you know about the Invincible universe.” Lee Pace described Thragg as a patient but violent character, whose awareness of his power and strategic mind make him a uniquely formidable adversary.
Although Invincible has been renewed for a fifth season, Thragg’s debut marks the start of the series’ true endgame. Mark’s earlier battles were preparation; now the narrative expands to include a larger resistance against the Viltrumites, with Earth playing a central role. Fans can also expect greater involvement from characters such as Anissa and an epic showdown between Thragg and one of Earth’s other powerful metahumans, though specifics remain under wraps.
With Thragg now in play, the series gains momentum, and Mark faces his greatest challenge yet: defending his home and allies against the most dangerous Viltrumite of all.
