Bryan Cranston is one of our generation's finest performers. His roles as Walter White in Breaking Bad and Hal in Malcolm in the Middle are diametrically opposed, but he is as effortless with both of them. His flexibility and magnetic screen presence have helped him become a fan favorite. He has a genre range that is practically identical to Netflix's, as he seamlessly transitions between intense and lighthearted personalities. Given his extensive expertise, it comes as no surprise that he has been regularly sought after for roles in some of today's most popular series.

But despite his immense popularity and talent, there is one animated show that has been unable to land Bryan Cranston, and it is not due to lack of trying.

Imagine Bryan Cranston joining the Invincible universe—how amazing would that be? However, Cranston has a tradition of saying no. Robert Kirkman, the show's creator, at the San Diego Comic-Con last year, revealed his wish to get the renowned actor on board. Kirkman makes an effort to include him in every season. However, Cranston has rejected each occasion, citing hectic schedules. Cranston's constant rejection stems from his desire to find the ideal part.

Bryan Cranston's constant refusal stems from his desire to find the ideal part. He is seeking for a career that will push him and give something new. Despite Robert Kirkman's best attempts, Cranston has yet to identify a character who fulfills his knack for a multifaceted, intelligent enemy. He has openly said that he does not want to portray a villain merely for the sake of it. The character he is looking for must have depth, intellect, and a feeling of danger, which is a wonderful fit for his unique acting range.

What if the perfect role to fit Bryan Cranston in Invincible had been right in front of our eyes all this while? A role so tailored for Cranston, it is hard to imagine anyone else.

Imagine an enemy so powerful and cunning that every moment on screen seems like a looming threat. Given Bryan Cranston's talent for portraying passionate, multifaceted characters, one part jumps out as an ideal fit. That role is none other than Thragg, the Viltrum Empire's Grand Regent. Without a doubt, Cranston would have been the ideal option to voice the most powerful Viltrumite and Invincible's primary antagonist due to his dominating presence and ability to lend depth to complicated villains.

Bryan Cranston's choice to pass on Invincible is understandably distressing for his fans. However, the actors' ambition to play a wiser and more sophisticated opponent fits nicely with the character of Thragg. While his always ready to play Walter White, even in spinn offs, his fans hope that one day he will find a villain like Thragg a perfect fit. A part that requires the depth and intensity that only he can provide.
