The Incredibles 3 release date is a big talking point among Pixar fans. The beloved animated franchise follows the Parr family, a group of superpowered heroes trying to balance saving the world with everyday life. With both previous films earning critical acclaim and box office success, expectations for a third installment are high.
What is the Incredibles 3 release date estimate?
Incredibles 3 release date estimate is late 2027 or early 2028.
This estimate is based on Pixar’s current production timeline and the studio’s average 4–5-year development cycle between announcements and releases. The sequel was officially announced in August 2024 at the D23 Expo, but Pixar has not confirmed a specific date yet.
Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the first two films, is writing the script for the third film but stepped down from directing due to commitments to another project. Peter Sohn, known for Elemental and The Good Dinosaur, will direct Incredibles 3, marking a shift in creative leadership while maintaining continuity. Sohn has collaborated with Bird on past Pixar films and was personally chosen by Bird and Pixar CCO Pete Docter.
