By the timeThe Incredibles 2hits theaters on August 08, 2025, it will have been 14 years since the first movie was released. But in terms of how much time has passed in the actual movie universe? According to Pixar’s John Lasseter, it will have been merely a “minute” from the end of the first movie to the beginning ofIncredibles 2.
Pixar creative officer John Lasseter recently spoke withIGNin honor ofDisney’s D23 Expotaking place this weekend. He spoke a bit about the long-awaitedIncredibles 2, which sees the return of director Brad Bird, and revealed that the new movie will pick up with the Underminer, who was seen at the end of the first movie and there will be a major action sequence. Here’s what he had to say about it.
“It starts right as the first one finishes, so it just carries on. 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.”
Part of the possible problem withlong-delayed sequelsis that they have to explain away the age of the actors who portray the characters. In the case of animation, there is no need to do that. SoThe Incredibles 2has the benefit of being able to act as though virtually no time has passed and can bring back the same cast to play the same roles, even though it has beenmore than a decade since the first movie. But the wait will probably be worth it, as John Lasseter is promising that the idea they came up with for the sequel is, in a word, awesome.
“One of the unique things about the Incredibles is it’s really astory of a family set in the world of superheroes. 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 Incrediblesis viewed by many as one of the best, if not the single best movie Pixar has ever produced. The movie currently holds a very impressive 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed an impressive $633 million worldwide. With that taken into account, this sequel is going to be one of themost highly-anticipated movies of 2018.
