AceShowbiz - Pixar has announced that "Incredibles 3" is officially in the works. Brad Bird, the writer and director of the first two films, is set to return to helm the third installment.
Pixar boss Pete Docter made the announcement during D23, but no further details, such as a release date or plot, were provided. The first "Incredibles" movie, released in 2004, grossed $632 million worldwide and won the Best Animated Film Academy Award. The sequel, "Incredibles 2", followed in 2018 and was a box office hit, grossing $1.2 billion worldwide.
The "Incredibles" franchise follows the Parr family, a family of superheroes who must balance their abilities with their daily lives. It is expected that the third installment will continue to explore the adventures and challenges of the Parr family, led by Bob (Mr. Incredible), Helen (Elastigirl), and their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack.
Pixar's recent successes, including the massive $1.56 billion gross of "Inside Out 2", have encouraged the company to double down on existing IP like 'The Incredibles". The official confirmation of "Incredibles 3" comes after a Bloomberg report suggesting Pixar's shift towards relying on established franchises.
Other Disney movies showcased at D23 included "Moana 2", "Frozen 3" and Pixar's "Elio". More details about "Incredibles 3" and other upcoming projects are expected to be released in the future.
