Pixar has officially announced that Incredibles 3 will premiere in 2028, marking a full decade since the release of Incredibles 2. The news was disclosed during this year’s Destination D23 event, highlighting a pivotal moment for fans awaiting the Parr family’s return.
The upcoming film will be directed by Peter Sohn, known for his work on Elemental, while original director Brad Bird will step aside from directing duties but remain closely involved as a writer and executive producer. This creative handoff signals a new chapter for the franchise, with Bird focusing on scripting to maintain continuity and quality.
Alongside Incredibles 3, Pixar’s slate unveiled at Destination D23 includes titles like Toy Story 5, the originals Hoppers and Gatto, as well as Coco 2. The studio’s strategy of revisiting beloved franchises through sequels has been underscored by recent successes, encouraging renewed focus on established properties with proven fan followings.
Though plot specifics remain under wraps, the decade-long wait between sequels has heightened expectations for a thoughtfully developed story that will uphold the franchise’s high standards. This announcement has simultaneously sparked renewed interest in the first two films, with streaming platforms reporting a resurgence in viewership, illustrating the enduring appeal of the Parr family’s adventures.
