Incredibles 3 Is Officially Happening, And I’m Really Hoping Pixar Brings Back A Colorful Character For The Threequel

In 2004, a time when superhero movies were starting to become all the rage thanks to Blade , X-Men , Spider-Man and more, Pixar dipped its toes into the genre for The Incredibles , which followed the Parr Family being forced into action at a time when costumed crimefighters are banned. 14 years later, Incredibles 2 reunited the public with Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash, JackJack and Bob’s buddy Frozone, and now word’s come in that we’ll get to spend time with these characters once again in Incredibles 3 . Now that this has been officially announced, I’m really hoping the threequel continues the trend of featuring the supervillain known as The Underminer.

Let’s go over what we know for certain so far. At D23, it was revealed that Pixar is developing Incredibles 3 , and Brad Bird is set to write and direct, just like he did with the first two movies. No release date was shared, but it’s a good bet that it will take the June 18, 2027 slot that Pixar has already reserved given how much time it will take to complete the project, plus Incredibles 2 was also a June release.

And that’s it as far as official information goes. That said, it’s also probably safe to assume that Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter. Sarah Vowell and Samuel L. Jackson will all reprise their respective roles, and I imagine Dash will be recast yet again considering Huckleberry Milne, who voiced him in Incredibles 2 , is too old to reprise the role. That is, assuming Incredibles 3 takes place shortly after Incredibles 2 and not many years afterwards, but that’s a conversation for another time.

Here’s what I’ll say for now: Incredibles 3 should also have John Ratzenberger reprise The Underminer, who appeared at the end of The Incredibles to attack the city immediately after Dash’s track meet, and then Incredibles 2 began with the Parr family and Frozone working together to defeat him. Unfortunately, Underminer was able to get away with all the money he stole from a bank, but one superhero team’s defeat can bet to the audience’s benefit. I’m not saying Underminer needs to be Incredibles 3 ’s main villain, but at least bring him back to that the superheroes can get their rematch.

Incredibles 3 is now the fourth of the upcoming Pixar movies to anticipate. Following the release of Inside Out 2 back in June (there’s still no word when it will become available to stream with a Disney+ subscription ), Elio is set to come out on June 13, 2025. Then the newly-announced Hoppers will follow in spring 2026 (almost certainly the March 6 date Pixar has reserved), and then Toy Story 5 arrives on June 19, 2026 . Additionally, Win or Lose , the studio’s first original TV show, premieres on Disney+ on December 6, and an I nside Out spinoff series call Dream Productions will air sometime in 2025.
