Overview
- Brad Bird will remain credited as writer and an executive producer on Incredibles 3 but will not direct the film.
- Peter Sohn, who directed Pixar's Elemental, is reported to be taking over directing duties for the threequel.
- Bird told The Direct that he rejected a proposed time jump that would age Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack because it would undermine the franchise’s family archetypes.
- In announcing his reduced directing role Bird cited his commitment to the Netflix film Ray Gunn, and Incredibles 3 is reported to be slated for a June 16, 2028 theatrical release.
- The new details come from a single-source exclusive interview, so production plans and creative choices could still change as Pixar and Disney make further announcements.
