A new Incredibles movie is on its way and writer/director Brad Bird is sharing new info on the status of the sequel and what we can expect plus details on his possible involvement in the Star Wars franchise! Today’s episode of Clevver News Feed is brought to you by Pitch Perfect 2, in theaters May 15th! When it comes to Pixar movies and films in general for that matter, there’s one that fans have been wanting a sequel to for years and that is, 2004’s The Incredibles. The tale of a superhero family is one of the most beloved and also one of the studio’s most financially successful films, so a sequel was practically inevitable and fans will finally be getting their wish, but what’s the status of the sequel? While promoting his new film, Tomorrowland, The Incredibles writer/director Brad Bird revealed to Collider that he’s currently in the process of working on the script and already has some pages written saying quote, “I had a lot of ideas for the original Incredibles that I didn’t get a chance to use, that I like. I have ideas that I wanted to pursue a little bit and there wasn’t enough time in Incredibles. There are new ideas I have, and I think there are enough of those together to make an interesting movie.” He went on to say that it feels like The Incredibles 2 will be his next film after Tomorrowland which, depending on how long the writing process takes, means we could potentially see part 2 arriving in theaters as early as 2017 with 2018 seeming more likely. Of course, an Incredibles sequel may have to compete for Brad Bird’s attention with another big franchise. With Josh Trank no longer directing the 2018 Star Wars Anthology project that is rumored to focus on Boba Fett, Bird was asked if we could potentially see him take over that film to which he responded quote, “Well [LucasFilm President] Kathy [Kennedy] and I have discussed the possibility of—I mean she’s basically saying this is a very large sandbox and other people can play in it. I was particularly attracted to the idea of picking up and—J.J. got very excited about the notion of shaping the next trilogy, and that idea was interesting to me too. But I kind of—I’m writing a sequel to The Incredibles and I can’t think too much farther beyond that. I have other things I want to do as well.” So it sounds like Bird has had some serious discussions about taking on one of the upcoming Star Wars films, which doesn’t come as too much of a surprise considering he was at one point considering directing Episode 7 while at the same time attempting to bring Tomorrowland to the big screen, but ultimately decided it would be too much. We’ll have to wait and see what he decides to do, but which would you rather see him direct next - The Incredibles 2 or one of the Star Wars films?
