Incredibles 3 confirmed at D23 Expo with director Brad Bird returning
The Parr family are back in action.
Pixar has announced Incredibles 3 at fan convention D23, confirming that the franchise's original director Brad Bird is leading development on the project.
No release date or plot details were revealed for the project, but it stands to reason that the story will once again follow the Parr family – Bob (Mr Incredible), Helen (Elastigirl) and their children Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack.
The news came at D23, when Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter took to the stage to showcase a number of the studio's upcoming projects – saving the biggest bombshell for last.
As he was wrapping up, he said: "That's it for us. I hope you've enjoyed everything you've seen today. As you can tell, we have some incredible projects in the works."

At that moment, the emotions from Inside Out appeared on the giant screen behind him, and one of the characters exclaimed: "Hold on! Did he just say 'incredible'?"

The crowd immediately understood the reference and erupted into screams as a logo for Incredibles 3 appeared on screen, illuminating the enormous Honda Centre in Los Angeles with a bright red glow.
"That's right, we're making Incredibles 3," Docter explained. "Brad Bird is currently developing the film. More on that next time. From all of us at Pixar to all of you, thank you and see you at the movies."
The Incredibles franchise kicked off back in 2004 and continued with a belated 2018 sequel, which dominated at the box office with a $1.2 billion worldwide gross. Bird wrote and directed both films, making him a safe pair of hands.
When we last saw the Parr family, they were attempting to restore the public's trust in superheroes, with Helen aka Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) taking a more prominent role as husband Bob (Craig T Nelson) tended to the family.
During their presentation, Pixar also revealed plot details for Toy Story 5, announced an Inside Out spin-off series on Disney Plus and showed off new projects including sci-fi feature Elio.
The Incredibles and Incredibles 2 are available to stream on Disney Plus. Sign up to Disney Plus from £4.99 a month.
