The first look at Incredibles 3 is here, revealing new concept art and story details about the Parr family’s return. Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack will take bigger roles, while a new Superhero League and powerful villain enter the story. Peter Sohn directs, with Brad Bird returning as writer and executive producer.
Incredibles 3 is officially scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 16, 2028. Here’s what Pixar has revealed so far.
What Did Pixar Reveal About Incredibles 3 at D23?
Pixar unveiled the first look at Incredibles 3 during the D23 Disney Entertainment Showcase, revealing concept art and new story details for the third installment. Set shortly after Incredibles 2, the new film shifts the spotlight toward Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack as superheroes adjust to being legal again.
What Does the Incredibles 3 First Look Reveal?
The Incredibles 3 first look puts the Parr family firmly back in superhero mode, but the concept art also hints that returning to action may be taking a toll on Bob. Mr. Incredible is shown saving civilians by holding up a massive object as people photograph him, while another image shows him resting on a bench with his back bandaged.
The artwork also reunites Elastigirl, Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack, Frozone, and Edna Mode, confirming that the familiar group remains together for the third film. One notable detail is Bob’s blue-and-black super suit, which resembles the costume he wore before superheroes were banned in the original Incredibles.
- A Hero in The Spotlight: Bob’s rescue happens in full public view, with cameras capturing the moment as he saves civilians.
- Hero Work Has A Cost: His bandaged back offers a very different image of Mr. Incredible once the action is over.
- The Family is Back Together: The first look keeps the Parrs at the center while bringing Frozone and Edna back into their world.
- A Familiar Look For Bob: His blue-and-black costume recalls his earlier superhero days before the government mandate forced supers into hiding.
Who is the New Villain in Incredibles 3?
Pixar has not revealed the new villain’s identity, voice actor, origin, or exact powers. Pete Docter did reveal the scale of the danger, describing the character as having “more power than the family put together.” The mysterious supervillain will therefore present a threat to the entire Parr family rather than just one of its members.
The villain arrives after superheroes regain legal status following Incredibles 2, meaning powered people can openly operate again. That freedom does not guarantee that every super will be heroic. “Just because supers are legal again, doesn’t mean superheroes are all good,” Docter said during the D23 presentation, as quoted by TheWrap.
- The Villain Remains Secret: Pixar has not announced the character’s name, background, voice actor, or complete set of powers.
- The Threat is Extremely Powerful: Docter’s comments place the new villain above the combined power of the entire Parr family.
- Not Every Super is Good: Legalizing superheroes opens the door for both heroic and potentially dangerous powered characters.
- Jack-Jack Keeps Developing: His growing collection of powers is becoming increasingly difficult for his family to control.
- The SHL Expands The World: Winston Deavor’s Superhero League brings an organized corporate superhero team into the story.
What is the Story of Incredibles 3?
Incredibles 3 continues only weeks after the second film, with no major time jump. This time, the story shifts toward the younger Parrs. Pete Docter said “it’s the kids’ turn,” as Violet and Dash secretly leave home at night to protect the city and “prove they are ready.” Meanwhile, Jack-Jack’s developing powers are becoming increasingly difficult for the family to control.
Docter also described the film as “rounding out the trilogy,” which suggests Incredibles 3 could bring the current three-film story to a close, although Pixar has not confirmed it as the final movie in the franchise. Bob is also facing another identity crisis, while Winston Deavor forms the Superhero League and a powerful new villain emerges.
- The Kids Take The Lead: Violet and Dash want to prove they can handle superhero responsibilities while Jack-Jack’s powers continue developing.
- Bob Faces A New Reality: Mr. Incredible finally returns to superhero work but questions if that world is beginning to leave him behind.
- The Superhero World Expands: Winston Deavor creates the corporate Superhero League as supers enjoy their restored legal status and popularity.
- A Bigger Threat Emerges: The Parrs will face a mysterious supervillain described as having more power than the entire family combined.
- The Trilogy Could Be Closing: “Rounding out the trilogy” hints at a conclusion to the current story, but Pixar has not confirmed Incredibles 3 as the franchise’s final film.
