Incredibles 3: Confirmation, Updates, And Everything We Know

After the enormous success of Incredibles 2, Pixar has confirmed that Incredibles 3 is happening, much to the excitement of fans. It took the studio 14 years to bring the Parr family back to the big screen, but the 2018 sequel’s success proved that it was worth the wait. Whether the nearly 15-year gap was worth it varies, but one thing is certain—fans are eager to see more of Incredibles 3.

The Incredibles franchise is uniquely tailored for Pixar, drawing from the world of serialized comic book heroes—characters that now dominate cinema’s biggest shared universes. The success of Incredibles 2 set the stage for more installments, and the franchise’s massive box office success has solidified Pixar’s commitment to further adventures. Incredibles 3 has officially joined the list of upcoming Pixar films, and fans are eager for any new details.

Incredibles 3 Confirmed at D23 2024

While news of Incredibles 3 had been sparse since the release of Incredibles 2, the movie was officially confirmed as “coming soon” at D23 2024. With Incredibles 2 grossing over $1 billion worldwide and the success of Inside Out 2, a sequel strategy makes perfect sense. However, Pixar has yet to reveal most details about the film, including the release date and voice cast. The years since Incredibles 2 have been challenging for Pixar, as the studio focused on original films, and the pandemic shifted how audiences view animated movies. Nonetheless, the return of the Parr family could be a major boost for Pixar, much like Inside Out 2.

Brad Bird Returns for Incredibles 3

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief—Brad Bird, the director of the first two Incredibles films, is returning to direct Incredibles 3. Bird’s vision, particularly his flair for retro-futurism, has been integral to the franchise’s unique style. After Incredibles 2, Bird expressed interest in continuing the story and mentioned unused characters and concepts that could make an appearance in the future. This has kept the possibility of Incredibles 3 alive for fans ever since.

How Incredibles 2 Sets Up the Story for Incredibles 3

Though Incredibles 2 wrapped up its main storyline, it also left room for further adventures. The movie explored the journey of re-legitimizing superheroes, ending with the Parr family back in action. While the ending didn’t overtly set up a third movie, the new status quo of legalized superheroes opens the door for fresh narratives in future installments. Additionally, the after-credits tease featuring the Underminer suggests that there may be unfinished business for the Parr family in Incredibles 3.

What We Want in Incredibles 3

One of the most exciting possibilities for Incredibles 3 is a time jump. In Incredibles 2, Dash and Violet were still written as adolescents, which limited their character development. A few years forward in time could provide a natural progression for the characters, with potential storylines such as one of the kids leaving home to find their own path.

However, what truly makes The Incredibles special is the superhero action. Brad Bird’s decision to avoid trends and keep the world of The Incredibles grounded in the 2004 setting made the sequel feel fresh. By the time Incredibles 3 arrives, the superhero genre will have evolved, and it’s likely that the movie will explore these changes while still staying true to its roots.

When Could Incredibles 3 Release?

The release date for Incredibles 3 could follow a similar timeline to its predecessor. Incredibles 2 was confirmed in 2014, with production taking around four years. Pixar currently has an untitled animated film scheduled for release on June 18, 2027, while other films like Hoppers and Toy Story 5 have their own confirmed dates in 2026. If Incredibles 3 were to hit that release window, the turnaround would need to be faster than previous films. However, given the rapid development of Inside Out 2, it’s possible that Pixar could release Incredibles 3 within the next few years—almost 9 years after Incredibles 2.

In conclusion, Incredibles 3 is officially on the way, and while the wait may be long, fans are eager to see how the Parr family will return to the big screen. With Brad Bird at the helm and plenty of story potential, Incredibles 3 is shaping up to be another blockbuster for Pixar. Stay tuned for more updates!
