This year marks an important milestone for fans of The Incredibles, as it is the 20th anniversary since the release of the original movie. Directed by Brad Bird as an homage to classics like the Fantastic Four and James Bond, The Incredibles has remained a beloved favorite over the years. Despite the long wait, the only sequel, Incredibles 2, was released in 2018 to great acclaim.
Exciting news came out of D23 when Pixar confirmed that Incredibles 3 is currently in development, with Brad Bird set to return as director for the third installment in the franchise. While details remain scarce, the announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans at the event. With the success of the first two films, it seems like a natural progression to continue the story of the superhero family.
While Incredibles 3 is on the horizon, there is also speculation about Brad Bird’s upcoming projects. In 2022, Bird signed a deal with Skydance to direct Ray Gunn, an animated sci-fi movie he has been passionate about for over three decades. It remains to be seen whether Incredibles 3 will be Bird’s next directorial effort or if Ray Gunn will take precedence. Nonetheless, fans of Bird’s work have much to look forward to in the coming years.
In addition to the exciting news about Incredibles 3, D23 also showcased a variety of other announcements from Disney. Pixar revealed that Toy Story 5 is in the works, continuing the beloved franchise. Marvel debuted trailers for upcoming projects like Agatha All Along, Daredevil: Born Again, and Ironheart, teasing fans with exclusive footage. The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast sent a special video message to fans, unveiling Human Torch’s costume for the upcoming movie. Star Wars enthusiasts were treated to previews for Skeleton Crew and The Mandalorian and Grogu, while Avatar 3 received its official title. Lastly, Tron: Ares closed out the event’s first night with an exciting presentation.
D23 proved to be an eventful gathering for Disney fans, with exciting announcements about Incredibles 3 and other highly anticipated projects. As fans eagerly await more details and release dates, the future looks bright for the world of animation and superhero storytelling in the coming years.
