‘The Incredibles 2’ to Focus on Jack-Jack’s Coming of Age as He Learns to Deal with His Superpowers!

Two basic things have been confirmed so far about the sequel to the 2004 animated hit “The Incredibles” featuring the Parr family.

The first one is that it is going to have a playdate of June 21, 2019 as confirmed by Disney Pictures no less and that Director Brad Bird will be coming back again to take on the helm of the sequel as much as he did with the original film.

All the rest of information regarding “The Incredibles 2” at this time remain as speculation pending the confirmation from Disney Pictures, Pixar Studios, or Director Bird.

But as far as the rumored plotlines for the movie are concerned, one thing appears to be certain – the movie shall focus on the youngest of the Parr family, Jack-Jack. “The Incredibles 2” will focus on his coming of age as he learns to deal with his shape-shifting power which he manifested towards the end of the first movie.

No six-year time jump

Contrary to reports that “The Incredibles 2” shall only have a six-year time jump despite the fact that it will be shown some 15 years after the first movie hit the theaters back in 2004, Disney has not said anything about it at all.

Thus, it is likely that the sequel will pretty much settle with the 15-year gap between the two movies. This would mean that the characters from the first film will be much older, with Violet and Dash as young adults and Jack-Jack as a teenager, details the Christian Post.

The parents, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, may have either retired by then or will, at least, be taking the backseat in superhero work. Thus, it is possible that the three siblings will be the main superheroes in “The Incredibles 2.”

In a previous interview, Director Bird said that the most interesting thing he likes about “The Incredibles” is not the superhero part of it but the family dynamics and how do superhero things play into that. He confirmed that “The Incredibles 2” will be a movie that shall head into that direction.

He also said that he does have a story idea that he thinks is very intriguing and not like anything else.

More meaty role

In the first “The Incredibles” movie shown in 2004, Frozone was a good friend of the superhero Parr family. He and Mr. Incredible were part of a team at the beginning before teaming up again towards the end to defeat Syndrome.

Frozone was played by Hollywood veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson in “The Incredibles.” In a recent interview, Jackson said every time he runs into Director Brad Bird, the latter always tells him that Frozone will be an important part of the sequel, without going to any specifics.

Jackson said that he believes in Bird and is positive that Frozone would have an important role in “The Incredibles 2.” While he believes that the movie could be done without his character in it, he nonetheless thinks that having Frozone in the sequel would be a wonderful addition to what’s already there, details the Christian Today.

However, much of the focus of “The Incredibles 2” will be on Jack-Jack, the youngest of the Parr family where much of the storyline shall reportedly revolve.

Since its announcement at the D23 Conference in March last year, “The Incredibles 2” has been one of the most anticipated features from Pixar Studios and Disney.

Disney has already set a June 21, 2019 release date for “The Incredibles 2” which gives Director Bird more than enough time to ensure that the sequel to the 2004 animated blockbuster will be equally great, if not better.
