Pixar’s work on Incredibles 3 was announced in August 2024, and with that announcement we learned that Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the first two animated films, was once again on board.
Today, however, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Peter Sohn, whose previous credits include Elemental and The Good Dinosaur, is the director of the threequel. Bird is still involved on the project as the writer of the screenplay.
It’s not clear whether Bird was initially in the director’s chair and then removed, or if Sohn has been in that role from the beginning. THR speculates that one reason why Bird isn’t also directing has to do with his schedule: He’s currently working on Skydance’s Ray Gunn, and was also attached to Pixar’s first live-action foray, 1906, which some reports say has been canceled.
The Incredibles, of course, focuses on a superhero family who jumps into saving the world after said world attempts to ban the use of superpowers. The first feature came out in 2004 to commercial and critical acclaim, prompting a sequel, Incredibles 2, in 2018.
Incredibles 3 also isn’t the first time Sohn and Bird have worked together. Sohn worked with Bird on the two previous Incredibles films and THR describes Bird as a mentor to Sohn.
No news yet on when Incredibles 3 will fly its way into theaters.[end-mark]
