Pixar chief Pete Docter made the announcement on Friday during Disney’s epic presentation of its upcoming projects at the D23 Expo. Docter provided no further information about the project, but the announcement of a new “Incredibles” movie comes on the heels of the wild success of “Inside Out 2,” which recently passed “Incredibles 2” as Pixar’s highest grossing film ever (and Disney Animation’s “Frozen II” as the highest grossing animated film of all time).
Despite debuting 14 years after the original, “Incredibles 2” took place immediately following the events of “The Incredibles,” with the main voice cast all returning to their original roles: Craig T. Nelson as the super-strong Mr. Incredible (aka Bob Parr), Holly Hunter as the super-stretchy Elastigirl (aka Helen Parr), Sarah Vowell as the super invisible Violet Parr, Samuel L. Jackson as the super-cool Frozone (aka Lucius Best) and Bird as the eccentric superhero fashion designer Edna Mode. (Huckleberry Milner took on the voice of the young, super-fast Dash Parr, who was voiced by Spencer Fox in the first film).
More to come.
