Robert Kirkman "personally" stopped his own Invincible script being turned into a movie because it was "absolutely horrible"

Long before Invincible landed on our screen as a series, creator Robert Kirkman had planned to make it into a movie. However, the comic book writer has revealed that he personally stopped it being made because he thought the script was so bad.

Speaking at the Annecy Animation Festival, he told crowds that the script was "absolutely horrible". He said, per Deadline: "It was just embarrassing, just bad. It was a fun lesson because you fight for the opportunity to write your screenplay and then you personally keep the project from happening because you did that."

Thankfully, it worked out for the best with Invincible now being one of Prime Video's most popular shows. The creators are currently working on season 5 but season 6 has just been announced too with The Boys star Jack Quaid joining the cast.

The idea of a live-action movie isn't out of the question either with Kirkman previously speaking about wanting to make it. Speaking earlier in 2026, he shared that the movie is still in development, but he doesn't really have any new updates yet.

"It's definitely a long process and it's something that hopefully will come together sooner rather than later," he told Screen Rant. "But our focus right now is on the show and making sure that the show is all it can be. But yeah, there's certainly movement here and there behind the scenes, but nothing that we can reveal just yet."
