Pixar‘s superhero family is suiting up again.
“Incredibles 3” is in development at Pixar Animation Studios, with writer-director Brad Bird — who helmed 2004’s “The Incredibles” and 2018’s “Incredibles 2” — returning for the threequel.
Pixar chief Pete Docter made the announcement on Friday during Disney’s epic presentation of its upcoming projects at the D23 Expo. Docter provided no further information about the project, but the announcement of a new “Incredibles” movie comes on the heels of the wild success of “Inside Out 2,” which recently passed “Incredibles 2” as Pixar’s highest grossing film ever (and Disney Animation’s “Frozen II” as the highest grossing animated film of all time). No release date has been set for the third film in the franchise.
I was so excited for The Incredibles 2. I wanted to love it so bad, but I just didn’t. The writers and producers didn’t seem to understand that the family unit aspect was literally the one thing that made it unique. Adding more people IDGAF about was dumb, and the villain was obvious and boring.
All that to say that they’re gonna need to convince me this time. I fucking can’t deal with hollow sequels that just add previously unmentioned characters and plot elements to fill the gaps in creativity; I was also really disappointed by Frozen 2 so I’m not seeing Frozen 3 unless I hear that it’s more like the first one.
