The clock above counts down to Incredibles 3 in summer 2028, Pixar Animation Studios' third Parr family adventure, with Brad Bird returning to direct.
Incredibles 3 returns Pixar to one of its most beloved original properties, more than two decades after the 2004 original and a decade after Incredibles 2. Variety confirmed Brad Bird is back to write and direct after the studio committed publicly to the project in 2024. The film is positioned for a summer 2028 theatrical window through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, slotting into Pixar's standard mid-June release pattern.
The Incredibles franchise has grossed more than two billion dollars worldwide and won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. Bird has spoken in interviews about preserving the family-superhero dynamic that defines the series rather than chasing the broader cinematic-universe trend. Pixar's Bob Peterson and producer John Walker are also expected to return.
Brad Bird has confirmed the original voice cast is in talks to return, including Holly Hunter as Helen Parr, Craig T. Nelson as Bob Parr, Sarah Vowell as Violet, and Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone. Per studio framing, the new film picks up after Incredibles 2 with Jack-Jack now older and his powers a central narrative engine. Expect Bird's signature blend of grounded family comedy, mid-century retro design, and Michael Giacchino's brass-heavy spy-jazz score, with action set pieces that lean on the family's distinctive abilities.
Incredibles 3 is expected to open in cinemas in summer 2028 in standard, IMAX, RealD 3D, and premium large-format presentations through Walt Disney Studios. Pixar films typically reach Disney+ around 90 to 120 days after theatrical release. International dates generally match the US window.
