The upcoming Pixar sequel will follow Violet and Dash as they attempt to establish themselves as fully capable Supers while their parents remain wary of letting them take on that responsibility. According to Deadline, Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter revealed the first major plot details during D23.
Violet and Dash Are Ready to Become Real Supers
The new story picks up after the return of superheroes to public life in “Incredibles 2.” Winston Deavor is using that change to build a superhero league backed by corporate sponsorship and marketing, creating a very different environment for the Parr family than the one they knew before. The franchise has previously established a world where Supers were forced into hiding by the government, making their renewed public presence a significant change for the series.
At the center of “Incredibles 3” are Violet and Dash, who are eager to move beyond simply being the children of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl. Their parents, however, are not convinced they are ready for that step. “They want to prove that they are ready to be a real Supers, and their parents aren’t quite so convinced,” Docter revealed.
That disagreement pushes the siblings into taking matters into their own hands. Violet and Dash begin sneaking out at night to protect the city, creating a new source of conflict within the Parr household. Their secret missions become even harder to manage because Jack-Jack is still struggling to control his increasingly unpredictable abilities.
Bob Parr will also have a major storyline of his own. While the younger members of the family are trying to establish themselves, Bob is dealing with a changing superhero world and questioning his own place in it. “A new threat is taking a heavy toll on Bob, who’s grappling with his own relevance in a world of Supers that may have outgrown him,” Docter said.
The danger facing the Parr family appears to extend far beyond another ordinary supervillain. Docter teased the arrival of “a super villain with more power than all the family put together and all of the supers,” although Edna Mode interrupted before he could reveal more. That leaves the identity and full capabilities of the new antagonist under wraps for now.
The sequel arrives a decade after “Incredibles 2,” which opened in 2018 and became one of Pixar’s biggest box office successes, earning more than $1.2 billion worldwide. “Incredibles 3” is currently scheduled for June 16, 2028, with Peter Sohn directing and Brad Bird writing the screenplay and executive producing.
