Overview

  • Pixar announced Incredibles 3 at Disney’s D23 Expo in August 2024 and confirmed Peter Sohn as its director this June 2025.
  • Peter Sohn, a Pixar veteran and director of Elemental and The Good Dinosaur, will take over the director’s chair from franchise creator Brad Bird.
  • Brad Bird will remain on the project as screenwriter and producer alongside Dana Murray, stepping back from directing duties.
  • Bird’s decision reflects his commitments to Skydance’s Ray Gunn, now in pre-production, plus Disney’s long-gestating historical drama 1906.
  • The first two Incredibles films grossed a combined $1.8 billion at the box office and featured voices by Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter and Samuel L. Jackson, and Incredibles 3 currently lacks a release date.
