Ever left something behind and immediately wanted to go back? We've all been here. So has Aaron Paul, seemingly, after teasing a return to Invincible just months after revealing he would be stepping away from the role of villain Powerplex.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, the Breaking Bad actor posted a black-and-white image of a new Invincible script with the caption 'light reading.'

If this really is Paul's comeback after departing the show post-Invincible season 3, it marks a considerable turnaround for the voice behind Powerplex.

"They asked me to come back for the next season. That show, I'm such a fan of – I watch every episode. But it was just way too grueling on my psyche," Paul told Kinda Funny Games back in November.

He continued, "I have so much respect for what they're doing, but Powerplex, man. He's not just messing around; he's going through turmoil. How I approach everything I do, I really put myself in that skin. It was a skin I didn't feel comfortable in. I didn't want to do it anymore."

Paul is also now tied to another big Prime Video name in the shape of Fallout. While his role is presumably locked in a vault, he will star alongside the likes of Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell in the upcoming third season.

Invincible season 5 should debut on Prime Video next year, with Robert Kirkman and his team aiming for annual releases for the animated series. Kirkman has even said more original storylines are on the way, despite the poor reaction to the fourth season's Hell-centric episode.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
