Pixar has announced that Incredibles 3 is officially in development, with Peter Sohn attached to direct.

Sohn, best known for directing Elemental (2023) and The Good Dinosaur (2015), takes the place of Brad Bird for the third film in the Incredibles franchise. Sohn is a longtime Pixar collaborator, with credits including Finding Nemo (2003), WALL-E (2008), and Up (2009).

Bird directed The Incredibles (2004) and Incredibles 2 (2018), winning an Academy Award for the former. He also won an Oscar for Ratatouille (2007).

Bird is writing the script for the third film and will also co-produce alongside Dana Murray. Murray was the producer for another Pixar Academy Award winner, Soul (2020).

Bird and Sohn have worked together on every animated film of their respective careers up until Ray Gunn, which was released this year.

Sohn was chosen to direct by Bird and Pete Docter, Pixar's chief creative officer.

The films follows a superhero couple, Bob and Helen Parr, voiced by Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter, and their three children. The whole family possesses amazing superpowers, but they are living a quiet, suburban life, as they have been forced to hide who they truly are.

The first film grossed $630 million worldwide, while Incredibles 2 became one of Pixar's biggest releases ever with $1.24 billion.

Bird previously discussed some unused ideas and designs from the previous films that could be used for any future sequel. In 2018, he told Entertainment Weekly “We storyboarded, and we designed characters, and they're really good! Some of them were really funny and cool and explored certain things. You know, you never say never, because there might be an opportunity to use it.”

Disney officially confirmed a third film at their D23 expo last year. Casting, a release date, and plot details are still unconfirmed.
