Pixar Announces Incredibles 3 At D23

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.
