Incredibles 3 has found its director in Peter Sohn! The Hollywood Reporter breaks that the Elemental and The Good Dinosaur filmmaker will direct the third entry in the beloved Pixar animated series.
Brad Bird wrote the screenplays for, and directed the first two films in the franchise. Bird is currently in the process of writing the screenplay for this third film, which he will also produce alongside Dana Murray.
The series follows Bob and Helen Parr, who live in the quiet suburbs with their three children (Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack) after being forced to hide their superpowers by a new government mandate. The first The Incredibles was released in 2004 and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature; Incredibles 2 followed 14 years later. Disney announced a third film was being developed at their 2024 D23 Expo event.
There’s no indication yet of what the plot for The Incredibles 3 might entail, but stay tuned for more information as we hear it! Likewise, we don’t yet have a release date but again, stay tuned.
Sohn and Bird have a long history of working together, with Sohn having worked on every single animated Bird film, so we know this feature is in good hands.
