Although there’s less than a year to go until its release, we know next to nothing about Disney-Pixar’s plans for The Incredibles 2, the hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2004 animated superhero movie.
That may change however this weekend at D23, and while we see what Disney may have in store for us at the convention, IGN caught up with John Lasseter, who revealed that the movie will begin immediately after the end of the first film:
It starts right as the first one finishes, so it just carries on,” said Lasseter, stating that that only “a minute” will have passed between films. “It starts with the Underminer and a big old set piece. You know that at the end of the first movie when he comes up and you see the family dressed as superheroes, well that’s where start this movie.”
“One of the unique things about the Incredibles is it’s really a story of a family set in the world of superheroes,” he continues. “This one carries on that theme. It’s awesome, the idea we came up with — simple as that. … We love to really look at our own lives and look at what’s going on, and find themes that we know will resonate with the audience.”
The Incredibles 2 is set for release on June 15th 2018 and will see the return of Holly Hunter as Elastigirl and Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone.
