Background and development

[edit]

Following the release of Incredibles 2 (2018), director Brad Bird acknowledged that the film's truncated production schedule resulted in many plotlines and ideas he had for the film being cut from the final version. He cited Pixar's decision in October 2016 to swap the release dates of Toy Story 4 (2019) and Incredibles 2, which meant that Bird's film lost a full year of production. Bird stated that the lingering plotlines could lead to a third installment, just as the storyline of The Incredibles (2004) did with the second. "There were a lot of ideas that we had on this film that could be [used]... whether it's another Incredibles film, or something else." Cast members including Samuel L. Jackson and Sophia Bush have expressed interest in reprising their roles for the third film with Bush herself expressing the desires to have her character Voyd team up with Sarah Vowell's Violet Parr. Producer John Walker said of a potential third film: "I wouldn't ever rule it out. And if past is prologue, it'll be another 14 years — and a lot of people will probably need oxygen to make a third one".[1]

In May 2024 (in the lead-up to the first film's 20th anniversary), an interview with Pixar CCO Pete Docter and Pixar president Jim Morris revealed that the studio was considering making more sequels to their popular franchises, among them being The Incredibles.[2] Incredibles 3 was officially announced by Docter at the D23 Expo event in August 2024, with Bird returning to develop.[3] Shortly after the announcement, TheWrap reported that it was unknown at that time what his crew role for the film would be due to his commitments to Skydance Animation's Ray Gunn (2026).[4]
