Incredibles 3 in works at Pixar with Brad Bird: Everything we know so far
Published on August 10, 2024
The superhero family we all adore is set to make a triumphant return. Disney and Pixar officially announced Incredibles 3 at the D23 fan event on Aug. 9, 2024. The beloved franchise, which began with the Academy Award-winning The Incredibles in 2004 and continued with the highly successful Incredibles 2 in 2018, is gearing up for another adventure.
Incredibles 2 concluded with the Parr family suiting up for a police chase and Violet promising her date, Tony Rydinger, that she’d be right back. While this moment hinted at the family's continued superhero enthusiasm rather than presenting a cliffhanger, it set the stage for new stories.
At D23, Pixar's Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter revealed that Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the first two films, is returning for Incredibles 3. Although specific details about the film and its cast remain under wraps, Bird's involvement promises to maintain the franchise's magic.
In this article, we’ll explore everything we currently know about Incredibles 3, including potential premiere dates, cast updates, and more. Stay tuned as we continue to update this article with new information as it becomes available!
Release Date & Where to Watch
While Incredibles 3 has been announced, Pixar has not yet set a release date, and it may be some time before one is confirmed.Â
Plot
So, will Incredibles 3 continue to follow the Parr family as they navigate the next stage in their lives? Given how central the Parr family is to the franchise's success, it's highly likely. However, the Incredibles universe still offers ample room for exploration. This includes new physical settings, previously unseen characters, and fresh narrative directions.
At the end of Incredibles 2 (2018), the family is seen suiting up for a police chase, with Violet promising Tony Rydinger that she’ll return for their movie date. This scene highlights the family’s enthusiasm for heroics rather than serving as a cliffhanger. However, since the sequel picked up directly where the original left off, Incredibles 3 might very well begin with Violet heading back to the theater.
Samuel L. Jackson has expressed interest in exploring the early relationship between Frozone and Mr. Incredible in the third installment. He’s curious about how the two became such close friends and whether they met through their superhero identities or otherwise.
For the plot of Incredibles 3, despite Brad Bird’s reluctance to age the characters, a time jump could be intriguing. Baby Jack-Jack could be older and perhaps struggling with darker impulses. Additionally, reintroducing the Underminer, a villain briefly seen in both the original film and its sequel, could add to the story. Bird has hinted at unresolved ideas from the sequel that could make their way into the third movie, suggesting potential for new and exciting developments.
