A popular idea for how Incredibles 3 could unfold now seems unlikely, but it’s due to the creators carefully considering what’s best for the franchise moving forward. While most superhero blockbusters are live-action, The Incredibles proved animation could deliver both thrilling action and a touching story about family – and they want to build on that success.
The Incredibles succeeded in being both an exciting superhero film and a story with lots of depth, which is why it’s become a much-loved animated classic that people still enjoy watching. This popularity was boosted by the positive reception to its sequel, and fans are now eagerly awaiting the third movie.
Since Incredibles 2 came out, fans have come up with many ideas about where the story could go next for the Parr family. One idea became especially popular, inspiring fan art and stories that showed what it would be like if it actually happened. It’s now looking like Incredibles 3 won’t follow this path, and will instead focus on a different storyline with the existing characters.
Incredibles 3’s Story Update Makes The Odds Of One Sequel Theory Look Impossible
Fans have come up with many ideas for what could happen in Incredibles 3, especially since Incredibles 2 (released in 2018) had several surprising turns and came 14 years after the first The Incredibles movie from 2004.
A common idea among fans is that future stories could jump forward in time, showing the family years later. This would especially let the series explore Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack as they grow up and develop their powers as superheroes.
Okay, so I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about a potential time jump in Incredibles 3, but a recent interview with Brad Bird, the writer, really threw a wrench in that theory. He basically said a time skip wouldn’t fit the core feel of the Incredibles movies and the way their stories usually work. He strongly hinted that we shouldn’t expect a big jump forward in time because…
We all understand what babies are, yet they’re completely unpredictable – we have no idea what they’re capable of. Around age ten, kids become really energetic and easily distracted. Teenagers, on the other hand, often feel insecure and want to blend in, putting up emotional walls. Mothers are constantly stretched thin, trying to juggle everything, which makes them incredibly resilient. Fathers are traditionally expected to be strong and stoic. These familiar family roles don’t change much as people age; in fact, growing older can even reinforce those expectations.
Why Avoiding The Incredibles 3 Time Skip Story Makes Most Sense For The Movie
Although the Incredibles could potentially explore a future timeline, there’s no pressure to do so. Brad Bird believes the story works best with the characters as they are in the existing movies, and a time jump wouldn’t add much unless it was truly surprising or addressed fan speculation. The creators aren’t feeling any rush to move the story forward in time.
The Parr family already has a full life, which gives Incredibles 3 lots of potential storylines without needing a time jump. Because they’re superheroes, there will always be villains targeting them or emergencies requiring their help.
Focusing the next three films on a relatively short timeframe feels like the right move for the series. It would allow Incredibles 3 to succeed by avoiding lengthy explanations or introductions of new backstory, ultimately leading to stronger movies overall.
