Info in Movie News | After nearly two decades of thrilling animated action, the Parr family is returning to the big screen in The Incredibles 3. This time, there is new change away from the limelight, Peter Sohn, who has worked on Elemental and The Good Dinosaur, will be directing the third part, thus starting the new era for Pixar’s popular superhero series.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it was revealed that Brad Bird and Pete Docter, Pixar’s chief creative officer, personally selected Peter Sohn to continue directing the movie. Brad Bird who authored and directed the first two movies will still be there, doing the job of a screenwriter and being among the producers together with Dana Murray, an Oscar-winning producer (Soul). Bird’s full directing schedule, including his long-awaited project Ray Gunn and a historical drama 1906, appears to be the reason he won’t be in the director’s chair this time.
The Incredibles movies center on the lives of talent superheroes Bob and Helen Parr, who dressed up as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, their kids, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. At some point they had to give up their powers because of the government ban on superheroes, but they later started going on a winning streak against the villains that were threatening the world.
The initial installment of the animated movie franchise premiered in 2004 and ended up being crowned the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It has since become a beloved cult icon. Its follow-up Incredibles 2, which came out in 2018, achieved a staggering $1.24 billion in global box office receipts, making it Pixar's highest-grossing movie so far.
The excellent news for the fans is that the voices of the familiar characters will be there in the next movie as well, for example, Craig T. Nelson, who will voice Bob, Holly Hunter as Helen, Sarah Vowell as Violet, and Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone. The only thing that is known so far about the most awaited The Incredibles 3 is that no storyline has been given, but the eagerness of fans has already been rekindled by the mere confirmation of the movie's existence.
Peter Sohn is a true Pixar loyalist. He is the one who has directed The Good Dinosaur and Elemental (Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature), and he also provided voices for characters in movies such as Ratatouille and Monsters University. Besides Pixar and Brad Bird with whom he has a long relationship, those are the natural reasons why he has been entrusted to carry on The Incredibles legacy.
Pixar is organizing the launch of Elio that is scheduled for this June, and at the same time the company is putting effort into focusing on the success of its famous characters. Inside Out 2 achieved a tremendous $1.7 billion undoubtedly being number one in the global box office last year, which is a clear proof that audiences still crave emotional and character-driven sequels.
The Incredibles 3 has not been officially announced with a release date, however, with an excellent creative team and a dedicated fanbase, Pixar looks poised to provide another successful movie. Keep in touch.
