Addressing The Incredibles 2 Rumor

EDIT: On March 18th, D23 officially announced that there WILL be an Incredibles sequel!!

Yesterday, there was a massive rumor being spread around Tumblr about the possible production for a sequel to my favorite Pixar movie, The Incredibles.

These assumptions are FALSE.

I've been recently doing extensive research about the possible sequel for a future video, so I was very skeptical and curious when I saw this post being circulated over thousands of blogs. (At this moment, this post has over 63,000 notes...most of them with comments over their excitement for The Incredibles sequel.)  I immediately double checked my search to confirm this rumor, and there was absolutely nothing new to report from what I had read last week.

First of all, the "official movie poster" (below) looked like someone just slapped a number two on a random photo of the Parr family, which seriously anyone can do in a simple photo editor program.

"Official" move poster of  falsely rumored Incredibles 2
The real facts are that director Brad Bird has been "considering ideas" for a sequel, but wants to make sure the storyline is perfect because he cherishes the original message and the characters so much. He also has been focusing on his latest project, Tomorrowland.

The D23 Expo occurred this past weekend, where many other Disney movies and future projects were officially announced. The Incredibles 2 was not a part of the list.

Among these announced movies is Big Hero 6, which is Marvel's first animated feature since it became a Disney franchise. This does not have anything to do with The Incredibles. This is a completely different story in a different world with completely different characters. This is not a backstory or prequel to The Incredibles. The two movies are not related in any way besides they're both a part of the Disney franchise.

If you see posts like these on Tumblr or anywhere online, stating that there's going to be a new movie or ANY kind of exciting announcement, please do your research and find the facts before believing a statement created by just anyone on the internet. Most of the "sources" for these statements were fan made wikis, which are not viable sources of information. Anyone can post something exciting and make it sound convincing, but that doesn't mean that they are true.

  1. Great post, Sara, refuting the rumors and all :)

    And I am so proud of Brad Bird -- it seems most people are just to eager to create a sequel, and here is being a different in considering his characters and original message first :D I trust him after reading that :D

  4. I understand how Mr. Bird feels, and I applaud him for his respect of the art. He is obviously very concerned about conserving the story's moral integrity. What I don't understand is why he's trying to take on the task alone. He says he has many "pieces" of an idea, and he wants to wait until everything is perfect. But this is something that needs to be collaborative. Get as many minds as it takes! If a project like this isn't given top priority and all available resources, it can never become a masterpiece. And such a high caliber is exactly what the world has come to expect from Disney. Trust your writers. Trust your fans. The story pieces are already written thousands of times over in the minds and hearts of your audiences. You just need to put them together!

  5. We're not talking GodFather here, its almost 10 years. Its hard to go wrong with the Incredibles story line and characters, plus, I want to see it while I'm relatively young...

    1. That's a wiki page created by a fan. Specifically an "Idea Wiki", meaning nothing has been set in stone or confirmed as true. There are absolutely no sources proving that any of the information on that site is accurate or fact. These are the kinds of sites that are propelling the rumors that I talked about in this post.

    2. That "movie poster" in your link says exactly this...
      "They're back! They're Super Heroes! They're Strength. and they're invisible!"
      Okay, for one, any REAL movie poster, in any language, is going to use proper grammar.
      "They're Strength"is not proper, therefore, even asking if this is fake or not, is rather idiotic. You're welcome for digging up this comment and reactivating it.

  11. I hope they make a second one because at the end of the first the underminer shows up. That wouldve been a great thing for the second. And I think Jack Jack wouldnt do much though. So Idk about him.

  12. He should use the underminer idea. I'm praying that he makes a second one

  14. In 2004 The Incredibles Came out on Disney - Today in 2013 we are still Talking about the Sequel that never existed. This should be a sign for Disney to Create The Incredibles 2. In the first Incredibles we were HOOKED ! all over in my area the movies were booked! SOLD OUT! when The Incredibles first came out even so the next day after the premiering date sold or nearly full movie theaters all over. Why cant Disney take the hint that they can make a profit a huge profit more now than ever. The 90's babys are here along with this whole new generation of other people that don't even know what or who The incredibles are. If they make the Incredibles to I'll pay money to see many others will pay money to see plus since this is the second movie many people from the new generation wouldn't have a clue what going so they will have to go back and see the first one Disney can now start making combination packs of both movies to sell ... now they will have a market of The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2 selling at the same time ...every one would be happy we would get the movie we wanted all these years and Disney can make a profit ..... I hope some one will read this (Disney) and make this happen ... Disney Fan Much Loves

  15. I'm just curious how long we're going to wait before Mr. Bird decides on a decent storyline for a sequel. It's been almost 10 years and if he waits any longer, the only enemy the Parr's are going to fight is going to be Medicaid and/or AARP. Let's put a little foot to the pedal Mr. Bird....

  16. I DONT DO THIS MUCH...im 26 from san francisco and im sort or a big kid but thats besides the point, the incredibles deserves a second go around the first was amazing the second will be better if not just as good im sure of it wit the way u run things and make the master pieces that u make it will be 5 star quality not to mention a box office hit for sure....your doing a great job keep doing what your doing and consider an incredibles 2 have a great night/day

  17. i believe that a I-2 would be great having dash and violet in high school and jack jack just starting school trying to control his powers. it would make billions of dollars

  18. Think about it. Why do they even need to make an Incredibles 2 when Disney now has access to all the Marvel superheroes. There's films for decades, both live action and animated.

  19. You should def make a sequel! That would be awesome! Seriously! No joke LOL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. the incredibles is my favorite movie by far, and it has been since it came out, if the people at Disney would get there head on straight and make a sequel, then there would be more profit behind incredibles 2 than any other Disney sequel. please, if anyone important reads this then bring it up at the next board meeting or something

  22. Wow! I mean, why can't you get going on this. The first incredibles ended with the underminer coming in. It shouldn't take this long. 10 years.

  24. well they already made an incredibles 2 video game which only has Mr. Incredible and Frozone in it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. the point of them taking forever to make the movie is kinda obvious look at every (including me) looking for any hope that we can even get a clue when it will be made.... when it finally comes out it will be a huge hit but if they keep waiting people are going to start finding newer movies to put their attentions on just a guess would be is within 2 years time if we don't get word of the movie its not happening sad to say but more then likely to happen

  26. I feel he should definitely make number 2, I can understand the whole leaving the comedy At its perfecticity. Hehe, but come on I knew there are plenty of new ideas he had Ruining through his head that would make another incredible movie!!! My son watched it over and over as I watched it over and over and he's 8 and all he talks about is when is there going to be a number two!!
    I feel there arent any good toons out there that are being made anymore that even compares to the incredibles not to mention it still sales out at the video store. Crazy when they're are excellent movies made, they get left just as is but the wack movies get sequels and even a third smh. I hope he reconsiders and drops it like a bomb on us incredible fans!!!

    1. Ok and great Disney has the marvel comics, big whoopee, as much as I am a fan, I've been watching marvel since I was born, same characters, same stories, different animations, nothing original, incredibles very original!!!!

  27. Perhaps the storyline should be that, Mr & Mrs. Incredible are retiring and considering the fact that the kids found out about their powers maybe the movie can be basically about them coming into their own and furtherly enhancing their powers. As for Frozone, we all found out he was married due to his wife screaming at him for protecting the "greater good" instead of partaking in the dinner she had planned. I dont remember him having any children but maybe over the years he and his wife could finally have one and maybe that child could have powers.
    Bring a new villian into the picture, perhaps Bomb Voyage can come back considering that he was never found after the one incident in the beginning of the movie.
    Just throwing some ideas out there!
    e-mail me at: akieya_armstrong@yahoo.com and let me know what you think!!

  28. I wish it come out faster! I want to know what they pick for the story line!

  29. my spin off to the incredible s is that it is nine years since Mr incredible and his family of supers have defeated syndrome, the under miner, and several other villains but slowly a new villain comes he is known as Donald Addison davenport. he reveals he is the great great great grandson to john Jackson Parr or jack jack. he has his own family of supers one is Adam who has dash's super speed and super strength from bob Parr.
