Screen Rant was in attendance at D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where it was announced that Incredibles 3 is in development at Pixar. Brad Bird, who directed both the original installments, is developing the project. See confirmation of the announcement below:

On X, the official Pixar made a post after the live announcement at the D23, saying that the project is "officially in the works." They did not elucidate the timeline of the project, which could be in the very early stages.

What To Expect From Incredibles 3

The Incredibles Sequel Could Still Be Years Away

Depending on how early in development the Pixar movie is, Incredibles 3 could have a very long road to the screen. Animated movies take a very long time to make, so depending on what stage in the scripting and development process the movie is, it could be as long as four years or more before it hits theaters. However, though a great deal of time may have ed in the real world, the family at the core of the franchise will likely remain the roughly same ages that they were in the original 2004 movie.

This type of aging is not uncommon in animation, considering the fact that the titular family The Simpsons have remained the same age since 1989. The 2018 sequel cemented the Incredibles movie timeline quite firmly in that vein by picking up exactly where the previous movie left off. The new movie will likely continue to feature the same voice cast, however, as the 2018 sequel kept as many of the ensemble consistent as possible, with the exception of the younger characters. Below, see a breakdown of who voiced each major recurring character:

While much about Incredibles 3 remains a mystery, it seems probable that the movie will follow in the footsteps of many recent Pixar sequels, including its immediate predecessor, and become a major box office hit. If it plays its cards right, it could even reclaim the crown from the Inside Out franchise as the studio's highest-grossing feature of all time, though on that front it also faces competition from the Toy Story 5. Regardless of its performance, this announcement reveals that plenty more superhero thrills are just around the corner for Pixar.
