Incredibles 2 is a 2018 American animated superhero film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Written and directed by Brad Bird, it is the sequel to The Incredibles (2004) and the second full-length installment of the franchise. The story follows the Incredibles as they try to restore the public's trust in superheroes while balancing family life. Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, and Samuel L. Jackson reprise their roles from the first film. Newcomers to the cast include Huckleberry Milner, Bob Odenkirk, Catherine Keener, and Jonathan Banks. Michael Giacchino returned to compose the score.

Following the success of The Incredibles, Bird postponed development on a sequel to work on other films. He attempted to distinguish the script from superhero films and superhero television series released since the first film, focusing on the family dynamic rather than the superhero genre.

Incredibles 2 premiered in Los Angeles on June 5, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 15, 2018. The film received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, humor, voice acting, action sequences, writing, and musical score. The film made $182.7 million in its opening weekend, setting the record for best debut for an animated film, and grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2018, the second-highest-grossing animated film, and the 15th-highest-grossing film of all time during its theatrical run, along with being Pixar’s third film to gross $1 billion after Finding Dory and Toy Story 3. It also became the highest-grossing animated film in the United States and Canada as well as the highest grossing Pixar film until the release of Inside Out 2 in 2024. Incredibles 2 was named by the National Board of Review as the Best Animated Film of 2018. The film was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the 76th Golden Globe Awards and 91st Academy Awards, but lost both awards to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The film was also the winner of the 2019 Kids Choice Award for Favorite Animated Movie. A sequel, Incredibles 3, is in development.{{cite magazine|last=Stenzel|first=Wesley|title=Incredibles 3 in the works at Pixar|url=https://ew.com/incredibles-3-announcement-d23-8693533|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=9 August 2024|access-date=31 October 2024|archive-date=November 10, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241110004134/https://ew.com/incredibles-3-announcement-d23-8693533|url-status=live}}{{cite web |last1=Taylor |first1=Drew |date=August 10, 2024 |title=Incredibles 3 in the Works at Pixar |url=https://www.thewrap.com/incredibles-3-pixar/ |website=TheWrap |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240810033303/https://www.thewrap.com/incredibles-3-pixar/ |archive-date=August 10, 2024 |access-date=December 7, 2024 |url-status=live}}

Plot

Taking place right after the ending of the first film, The Parr family (alias The Incredibles) and Lucius Best (alias Frozone) battle the Underminer.{{efn|As depicted in The Incredibles (2004).}} The superheroes prevent the villain from destroying city hall, but fail to stop him from robbing a bank and making his escape. The lukewarm success and massive property damage prompt the government to shut down the Superhero Relocation Program, ending financial assistance for the "supers". Violet's classmate and love interest, Tony Rydinger, discovers her superhero identity; Agent Rick Dicker accidentally erases Tony's entire knowledge of Violet instead of just this incident.

Wealthy siblings Winston and Evelyn Deavor, who run the telecommunications company DevTech, propose secret missions to Helen (alias Elastigirl), Bob (alias Mr. Incredible), and Lucius. These are to be recorded and broadcast in a movement to regain public trust in superheroes. Winston chooses Helen for their initial missions as she has caused the least property damage. Initially reluctant to be away from her family and risking getting into trouble with the law, Helen accepts after a talk with Bob. Winston rehouses the Parrs in a luxury mansion.

Bob struggles in his new role as a stay-at-home parent, left to deal with Violet's dejection over Tony forgetting their first date, Dash's math homework, and the chaos of baby Jack-Jack's burgeoning superpowers. He suppresses envy for Helen and, at Lucius's advice, calls on Edna Mode to babysit Jack-Jack. Meanwhile, in the city of New Urbem, Helen encounters the supervillain Screenslaver, a hacker who can perform hypnosis through any screen. After preventing him from destroying a crowded hovertrain and thwarting his assassination attempt on an ambassador, she tracks his signals and infiltrates his base. Defeating him, she unmasks him only to discover a disoriented pizza delivery driver, who is bewildered at his detainment. At a party celebrating Helen's success, Winston announces a summit of world leaders to legalize the "supers" on live television, hosted aboard his luxury hydrofoil yacht, the Everjust, and attended by all "supers" coming out of hiding.

Helen realizes Screenslaver lured her to a decoy double, and the pizza delivery driver was under the control of hypnotic goggles. Evelyn reveals herself to be the true Screenslaver and captures Helen, restraining her using her goggles and a freezing cell that negates her self-stretching superpower. Evelyn blames society's overdependence on the "supers" for the deaths of her and Winston's parents, as their father was shot by burglars after the newly outlawed supers Fironic and Gazerbeam did not answer his calls for aid, and their mother died of grief. Evelyn plans to sabotage her brother's summit to ruin the reputation of all "supers" once more and keep them outlawed in the hopes that the public will be safer with self-sufficient crimefighting.

Evelyn lures Bob into a trap on the Everjust, goggling him, and sends a squadron of hypnotized supers to subdue Violet and Dash. Lucius arrives to protect them but is overwhelmed and goggled. Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack escape in a refurbished Incredibile, the supercar once owned by Bob, and, deducing their parents' peril, stow away on the Everjust. Onboard, Helen, Bob, and Lucius are forced to broadcast themselves, giving villainous speeches, subduing the ship’s crew, and locking its course towards New Urbem at a disastrous pace. The children arrive; Jack-Jack removes the goggles on Helen, who in turn frees Bob and Lucius. They work together to release the other mind-controlled supers and safely prevent the Everjust's collision with the city. Evelyn escapes in the yacht's parasite jet, but is caught by Helen and arrested.

With another disaster averted and the positive publicity surrounding this, "supers" around the world regain their legal, respected status just as Winston hoped. Sometime later, Tony is picked up by Violet and her family in the Incredibile for their reinstated movie date. They spot a police chase; Violet leaves Tony at the cinema, promising a quick return, before the Parrs enthusiastically don their superhero masks and join the pursuit.

Production

= Development =

While publicizing The Incredibles (2004), Brad Bird had already conceptualized the eventual approach of a sequel where Bob and Helen Parr would switch roles and Jack-Jack would develop multiple powers unknown to the family.{{#invoke:cite|web|url=https://www.latimes.com/la-et-me-incredibles-2-premiere-20180606-story.html |title='Incredibles 2' team on the sequel's 14-year gap, and putting Elastigirl center stage |first=Christina |last=Schoellkopf |date=June 7, 2018 |access-date=June 8, 2018 |work=Los Angeles Times |archive-date=June 8, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180608010739/http://www.latimes.com/la-et-me-incredibles-2-premiere-20180606-story.html |url-status=live }} Following The Incredibles, Bird directed Ratatouille (2007), his next film for Pixar. Near its premiere in June 2007, Bird said he was open to an idea of a sequel to The Incredibles, but only if it could be better than the original. He stated, "I have pieces that I think are good, but I don't have them all together."{{#invoke:cite|web|url=https://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=21218 |title=Bird on Toy Story 3 and The Incredibles 2 |date=June 22, 2007 |access-date=June 22, 2007 |archive-date=June 25, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070625010042/https://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=21218 |url-status=dead }} In a May 2013 interview, Bird reiterated his interest in a sequel: "I have been thinking about it. People think that I have not been, but I have—because I love those characters, and love that world ... I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another Incredibles film, and if I can get 'em to click all together, I would probably wanna do that."{{#invoke:cite|news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/brad-bird-incredibles-sequel-i-523427 |title=Brad Bird on 'Incredibles' Sequel: 'I Would Probably Wanna Do That' (Q&A) |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=May 16, 2013 |access-date=May 16, 2013 |archive-date=July 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711175826/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/brad-bird-incredibles-sequel-i-523427/ |url-status=live }}

At the Disney shareholder meeting in March 2014, Disney CEO and chairman Bob Iger confirmed that Pixar was working on an Incredibles sequel, and that Bird would return as both director and screenwriter.{{#invoke:cite|news|last=Graser |first=Marc |title=Disney Plans Third 'Cars,' 'The Incredibles 2' |url=https://variety.com/2014/film/news/disney-plans-third-cars-the-incredibles-2-movies-1201137824/ |access-date=March 18, 2014 |newspaper=Variety |date=March 18, 2014 |archive-date=July 28, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180728021713/https://variety.com/2014/film/news/disney-plans-third-cars-the-incredibles-2-movies-1201137824/ |url-status=live }} Bird started the script around April 2015,{{#invoke:cite|web|title=Pixar's Brad Bird Talks French Food, Animated Rats And New Film 'Tomorrowland' |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=398343037 |publisher=NPR |access-date=April 12, 2015 |date=April 8, 2015 |archive-date=April 11, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150411213222/http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=398343037 |url-status=live }} and said that the Incredibles sequel would be his next film after Tomorrowland (2015).{{#invoke:cite|web|last=Chitwood |first=Adam |url=https://collider.com/incredibles-2-is-brad-birds-next-movie-talks-directing-star-wars-movie/ |title=The Incredibles 2 Is Brad Bird's Next Movie; Talks Star Wars Franchise |work=Collider |access-date=May 10, 2015 |date=May 9, 2015 |archive-date=May 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510164544/http://collider.com/incredibles-2-is-brad-birds-next-movie-talks-directing-star-wars-movie/ |url-status=live }}

= Writing =

One challenge in writing Incredibles 2 was how to deal with the large number of superhero films and television series that had been released since the first film, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).{{#invoke:cite|web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/in-a-post-avengers-world-making-incredibles-2-was-/1100-6458282/ |title=In A Post-Avengers World, Making Incredibles 2 Was A Challenge |first=Michael |last=Rougeau |date=April 16, 2018 |access-date=April 16, 2018 |work=GameSpot |archive-date=April 17, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180417023155/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/in-a-post-avengers-world-making-incredibles-2-was-/1100-6458282/ |url-status=live }} To try to differentiate the sequel, Bird wanted to avoid tropes related to the superhero genre: "I don't think that kind of idea stays interesting for very long. For me, the interesting thing was never the superhero part of it.

Though the sequel was released thirteen-and-a-half years after the first, Bird did not want to use a narrative element like an ellipsis or to come up with new characters, and instead continued from where the first film left off. This allowed him to keep characters with the same superpowers and not have to develop new ones, nor did he need to figure out how to deal with Violet and Dash being adults. This also allowed him to keep Jack-Jack as an infant with an array of powers, which Bird likened to how infants are able to understand numerous languages.{{#invoke:cite|web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-incredibles-2-starts-exactly-where-the-origina/1100-6458277/ |title=Why Incredibles 2 Starts Exactly Where The Original Ended |first=Michael |last=Rougeau |date=April 16, 2018 |access-date=April 16, 2018 |work=GameSpot |archive-date=April 17, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180417105818/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-incredibles-2-starts-exactly-where-the-origina/1100-6458277/ |url-status=live }} While the plot of the 2005 follow-up video game to The Incredibles, The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer, begins at that same point of time,{{#invoke:cite|web|url=https://www.polygon.com/2017/7/14/15973580/the-incredibles-2-opening-pixar-d23 |title=The Incredibles 2 picks up right where the original left off |last=Sarkar |first=Samit |website=Polygon |date=July 14, 2017 |access-date=March 24, 2018 |archive-date=March 24, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180324102749/https://www.polygon.com/2017/7/14/15973580/the-incredibles-2-opening-pixar-d23 |url-status=live }} the film discards the game's continuity.

= Casting =

In November 2016, Pixar announced that Holly Hunter and Samuel L. Jackson would reprise their roles. During the 2017 D23 Expo, it was confirmed that Craig T. Nelson and Sarah Vowell would also reprise their roles, and that Spencer Fox, the original voice of Dashiell "Dash" Parr, would be replaced by younger newcomer Huckleberry Milner. Later that month, Bird and John Ratzenberger were, also, confirmed as reprising their characters from the first film.

In November 2017, Pixar announced that Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener had joined the cast. In January 2018, it was announced that Sophia Bush and Isabella Rossellini would voice new characters Voyd and The Ambassador, while Jonathan Banks would voice Rick Dicker after the character's original voice actor Bud Luckey retired in 2014; after his death in 2018, the film was dedicated to Luckey's memory.{{#invoke:cite|news|url=https://www.bustle.com/p/who-was-bud-luckey-incredibles-2-is-dedicated-to-a-pixar-pioneer-9397802 |title='Incredibles 2' Has A Touching Dedication To A Pixar Animating Legend |last=Tenreyro |first=Tatiana |work=Bustle |date=June 14, 2018 |access-date=June 15, 2018 |archive-date=June 15, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615083225/https://www.bustle.com/p/who-was-bud-luckey-incredibles-2-is-dedicated-to-a-pixar-pioneer-9397802 |url-status=live }}

One advantage that Pixar had with Incredibles 2 was the advancement of technology the company had seen since the original film and a team of much more experienced animators. Producer John Walker said, "I think that one of the things that excited Brad and Ralph Eggleston, the production designer, was that the technology existed now to finally realize the designs in the way that they had hoped to realize them in 2004. There were no notions of, 'Well, we don't know how to do long hair, we don't know how to do humans, we don't know how to do muscles.' Everybody knows how to do it. It's just now about doing it quickly."{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://vfxvoice.com/producers-and-animator-face-fresh-challenges-on-incredibles-2/ |title=Producers and Animator Face Fresh Challenges on INCREDIBLES 2 |first=Ian |last=Failes |date=June 25, 2018 |access-date=June 25, 2018 |work=VFX Voice |archive-date=June 25, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180625213654/http://vfxvoice.com/producers-and-animator-face-fresh-challenges-on-incredibles-2/ |url-status=live }} Because Pixar no longer used the same systems from the first film, all the characters had to be created from scratch on the computer again. The studio also used physically based human eye models for the characters for the first time, which possibly made the eyes larger and more stylized than that of real humans.{{#invoke:cite|web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2018/06/incredibles-2-pixar-brad-bird-sequel-tech-1201976858/ |title='Incredibles 2': Pixar Improved its Toolbox to Meet the Superhero Demands of Brad Bird's Sequel |first=Bill |last=Desowitz |date=June 20, 2018 |website=Indiewire.com |access-date=July 29, 2018 |archive-date=June 29, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180629113828/https://www.indiewire.com/2018/06/incredibles-2-pixar-brad-bird-sequel-tech-1201976858/ |url-status=live }}

Sequel

Following the release of Incredibles 2, director Brad Bird acknowledged that the film's truncated production schedule resulted in many plotlines and ideas he had for the film being cut from the final version. He cited Pixar's decision in October 2016 to swap the release dates of Toy Story 4 and Incredibles 2, which meant that Bird's film lost a full year of production. Bird stated that the lingering plotlines could lead to a third installment, just as the plotlines of the first did with the second. "There were a lot of ideas that we had on this film that could be [used]... whether it's another Incredibles film, or something else." Cast members including Samuel L. Jackson and Sophia Bush have expressed interest in reprising their roles for the third film with Bush herself expressing the desires of a team up with Sarah Vowell's Violet for the third film. Producer John Walker would not "rule [a third film] out".{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/movies/2018/06/17/incredibles-3-potential-brad-bird/ |title=Could there be an Incredibles 3?

In May 2024 (in the lead-up to the first film's 20th anniversary), an interview with Pixar CCO Pete Docter and Pixar president Jim Morris revealed that the studio was considering making more sequels to their popular franchises, among them being The Incredibles.{{Cite web|last=Buckley|first=Thomas|date=May 30, 2024|title=Disney Is Banking On Sequels to Help Get Pixar Back on Track|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-05-30/disney-s-inside-out-2-could-hold-key-to-pixar-restoring-movie-magic|url-access=subscription|access-date=May 31, 2024|website=Bloomberg|archive-date=May 31, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240531004450/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-05-30/disney-s-inside-out-2-could-hold-key-to-pixar-restoring-movie-magic|url-status=live}} Incredibles 3 was officially announced by Docter at the D23 Expo event in August 2024, with Bird returning to develop.

In June 2025, it was announced that Peter Sohn would direct the film due to Bird's commitments to the film Ray Gunn. However, Bird will remain involved as a screenwriter and executive producer while Dana Murray will produce.{{Cite web|last=Verhoven|first=Beatrice|date=June 10, 2025|title='Incredibles 3' Finds Its Director (Exclusive)|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/incredibles-3-director-peter-sohn-1236260365/|access-date=June 10, 2025|website=The Hollywood Reporter|language=en-US}}{{cite web |last=Coman |first=Monica |title=Pixar Hypes Upcoming Original Projects & Exciting Sequels: '1 of the Strongest Slates We've Ever Had' |url=https://www.cbr.com/pixar-upcoming-original-projects-sequels-strongest-slate/#:~:text=With%20Elio%20set%20to%20premiere,5%20on%20June%2019%2C%202026. |website=CBR |publisher=Valnet Publishing Group |access-date=June 14, 2025 |date=June 13, 2025}}
