This year marks the 20th anniversary of The Incredibles, director Brad Bird’s ode to the Fantastic Four, James Bond, and more. In the two decades since then, only a single sequel–2018’s Incredibles 2–has arrived. But at D23, Pixar confirmed that Incredibles 3 is in development, with Bird slated to direct as he has for the first two films.
Pixar’s Pete Docter made the announcement at the very end of the studio’s presentation, and he didn’t offer any other details. Docter didn’t even say if the film has a release date, but it was clearly well-received news at the show.
It took 14 years for Bird to get around to making the second movie, so he’s never been in a rush to complete a trilogy. There is also the question of whether Incredibles 3 will be Bird’s next film. In 2022, Bird signed a deal with Skydance to direct Ray Gunn, an animated sci-fi movie he wrote over three decades ago. That movie is one of Bird’s passion projects, so it seems likely to go first unless Skydance decides not to go forward with it.
Pixar also revealed that Toy Story 5 is coming soon during D23, and it was only the beginning of Disney’s night for news. Marvel debuted a new trailer for Agatha All Along, while only the fans at D23 got to see the exclusive trailers for Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart. The cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps sent a video message that revealed Human Torch’s costume in the movie. Star Wars fans had to be happy with the previews for Skeleton Crew and The Mandalorian and Grogu. Avatar 3 got a name, and Tron: Ares was one of the closing presentations at the event’s first night.
