Brad Bird also said previously that he does not want to disclose so much detail about “The Incredibles 2” given the influx of superhero movies these days. He said that he does not want “The Incredibles 2” to be reduced into a footnote or commentary on the current state of the superhero genre.
During the premiere of his latest film for Disney pictures “Tomorrowland” a few months ago, Bird talked about the upcoming sequel to “The Incredibles.”
He said that a lot of superhero films have been made since ‘The Incredibles,’ making the genre looked like an athletic field that just kind of dried up dirt now with a few clumps of grass.
The director said that the challenge is coming up with another place for heroes to go. He said that more than coming up with a noteworthy sequel, he wants to have a surprise element in “The Incredibles 2” because today’s audiences have high expectations for superhero films.
He explained that “The Incredibles 2” will deal with aspects and facets that were still left unexplored in “The Incredibles”
The family of superheroes will definitely be back but instead of Mr. Incredible and his wife Elastigirl taking charge of all the crime-fighting actions in the sequel, they will be letting their children take the reign in “The Incredibles 2.”
