Incredibles 3 Will Reportedly Be Directed by Elemental’s Peter Sohn Instead of Brad Bird

Incredibles 3 will reportedly be directed by Elemental and The Good Dinosaur‘s Peter Sohn instead of Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the first two films in the Pixar franchise.

As reported by THR, Bird will still be writing the screenplay for Incredibles 3 and producing it alongside Soul’s Dana Murray.

We don’t know much else about Incredibles 3, and Pixar only recently announced the project at D23 2024 with the news that Brad Bird would be on board in some capacity.

It is important to note that Sohn and Bird (the latter of whom is currently working on Skydance’s Ray Gunn and could be the reason for the change), have had a very long working relationship as Sohn has worked on every past animated Bird film, including both Incredibles films. Sohn has also voiced a handful of Pixar characters in the past, including Ratatouille’s Emile, Monsters University’s Squishy, and Lightyear’s Sox.

The Incredibles itself has been around since 2004, and the first film brought in $631 million globally and won the Academy Award for the best animated film. Incredibles 2 followed in 2018 and soared to $1.24 million worldwide.
