Titled Hurm, episode 4 lived up to being the “completely original” story from the source material that Invincible creator Robert Kirkman previously teased to Radio Times in a recent interview — bringing back demon detective Damien Darkblood and having Mark help Satan take back ruling dominion of Hell.
For those who also weren’t able to fully focus on Eve’s pregnancy news reveal to William while noticing the difference, here is everything to know about the character’s new voice actor and why the old one potentially needed to be replaced.
Invincible season 4's William recast explained: Who voices him now?
Jones will already be familiar to plenty of viewers thanks to roles in series including the colourful personalities of Captain Isaac Higgintoot in the US remake of UK sitcom Ghosts and John Wheaton in The Good Place — making him a natural fit for a character like William, even if the shift has taken fans by surprise.
What happened with William Clockwell's recasting in Invincible season 4?
However, Radio Times recently asked Kirkman about Aaron Paul not returning as Powerplex in season 4, and his answer may offer a clue. Kirkman explained that animation can make it difficult to bring busy actors back for only “a scene or two”, adding that scheduling often becomes the deciding factor when a character has only a brief role to play.
This makes the idea of a practical recast even easier to understand when considering how busy Rannells has been lately. Along with TV and film roles in Another Simple Favor, Night Court, Too Much, and Eisbeth, the actor also made a return to Broadway as a performer in the show All In: Comedy About Love in January 2025.
As Kirkman explained: "It's really difficult because you can't lock an actor in for animation and, you know, control their availability. So you're kind of at the whim of whatever movie or television show or other thing that they're doing, and our cast is filled with massively in-demand actors, and so there are going to be times here and there where, you know, they're just not going to be available."
While we indeed don’t have an official reason for William’s recasting, it’s easy to speculate that Rannells’s schedule may have been so packed with his other projects — especially with those on Broadway — coming back to Invincible for just one scene in season 4 just wasn’t feasible.
