Brad Bird directed the 2004 original and its 2018 sequel, but he's still involved in the threequel: he's writing the script and on board as a producer. The third Incredibles movie was announced at D23 in August 2024, but not much is known about the threequel just yet and this director reveal is the first official update we've had in almost a year.

The next instalment of one of Pixar’s best movie series, The Incredibles, now has a director attached. But it’s not Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the first two movies. Peter Sohn has signed up to direct The Incredibles 3, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Elemental” director Peter Sohn will direct “ The Incredibles 3 ” for Disney and Pixar.
