Though that may seem a bit confusing at first, Kirkman isn’t concerned about crossing wires. The creator cited the multiple versions of Spider-Man existing at the same time as proof that audiences can handle various adaptations of the same story being told at the same time. When asked about the Invincible film, the writer remarked, “that is still very much in development. That hasn’t changed,” he said. “We’re just taking a long time.”
While it’s been nearly 3 years with no significant news about the live-action Invincible movie, it wouldn’t be the first time a film project has gone dormant only to rev up again years later. In fact, the animated series may actually give some momentum to the film, acting as a sort of barometer for the public interest. That said, Kirkman insists that the show and the film will have substantial differences beyond their format and that people will “easily” be able to tell them apart.
He went on to say that the teams were “working to make sure that the two can exist and complement each other,” which at least suggests that they have given thought on how to differentiate the two projects. Hopefully, the film and the TV show will live up to the hopes of their creators and audiences will find good reasons to watch both when they finally release.
