The Incredibles 3 Trailer: 5 Shocking New Details About The 2028 Pixar Sequel
The search for the official *Incredibles 3* trailer is one of the most persistent quests for Pixar fans, but as of December 2025, the highly-anticipated footage remains just a dream. The simple reason? The film is still deep in development, years from its theatrical debut. However, recent announcements from Disney and Pixar have provided the most concrete updates yet, confirming a new creative direction, a definitive release window, and the long-awaited return of the beloved Parr family.
The good news is that *Incredibles 3* is officially happening, a decade after the massive success of *Incredibles 2* in 2018. While the wait for the first teaser trailer will be long, the confirmed details about the production team and the film's timeline offer a fresh and unique perspective on what fans can expect from the next chapter in the world of supers. Forget the fan-made concept trailers on YouTube—here is the definitive, up-to-date status on the film and its eventual marketing launch.
The Definitive Status of the Incredibles 3 Trailer: Why You Haven't Seen It Yet
The primary reason for the absence of an *Incredibles 3* trailer is the film's confirmed timeline. At the Destination D23 event in August 2025, Disney and Pixar officially slated the superhero threequel for a 2028 release.
This date places the film firmly in Pixar’s post-*Inside Out 2* and post-*Elio* slate, cementing a full decade gap between the second and third installments.
- The 2028 Release Window: A major animated feature film typically begins its marketing campaign, including a teaser trailer, approximately 12 to 18 months before its release date.
- Expected Teaser Timeline: Given the 2028 release, the earliest fans can realistically expect an official teaser trailer would be in late 2026 or early 2027.
- Marketing Strategy: Pixar often attaches its major sequel teasers to other high-profile Disney releases. The first look at *Incredibles 3* might be tied to a major Disney live-action remake or a non-sequel Pixar original film released in 2027.
Any "trailer" you see online right now claiming to be official for a 2025 or 2026 release is a concept or fan-made production, designed to capitalize on the high search volume for the film. The official marketing machine for the Parr family's next adventure is still several years away from activation.
The New Creative Team: Brad Bird's Role and Peter Sohn's Vision
One of the most significant and fresh updates regarding *Incredibles 3* is the change in the creative leadership, a detail that will undoubtedly influence the film's tone and plot.
Brad Bird: Returning as Writer, Not Director
Original writer and director Brad Bird, the creative force behind both the 2004 original and the 2018 sequel, is returning to pen the script for the third film.
Bird’s involvement as the sole writer ensures that the thematic core, sharp dialogue, and signature superhero-meets-family-drama dynamic will remain intact. His dedication to character development, particularly the struggles of Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) and Helen Parr (Elastigirl) balancing their normal lives with their superhero duties, is a hallmark of the franchise.
Peter Sohn: The New Director
In a major studio shift, the directing reins are being handed over to Peter Sohn, the filmmaker responsible for the critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2023 Pixar film, *Elemental*.
This is the first film in the *Incredibles* franchise not to be directed by Bird, signaling a fresh perspective. Sohn, a veteran of Pixar Animation Studios, is known for his ability to blend heartfelt emotion with vibrant world-building, as seen in *Elemental*. His direction could bring a renewed focus on the emotional depth of the Parr family and the challenges faced by the younger generation of Supers, including Violet and Dash.
The collaboration between Bird's writing and Sohn's directing promises a blend of the familiar, beloved tone with a new visual and emotional sensibility. This transition highlights Pixar's strategy of nurturing internal talent while maintaining a connection to the franchise's original architect.
Who's Coming Back? The Expected Voice Cast and Plot Speculation
While official casting announcements are pending, the return of the core voice actors is a near certainty for a film of this caliber, especially given the confirmed involvement of the original writer.
The Iconic Voice Cast Return
Fans expect the return of the iconic voice actors who define the Parr family and their allies. These key entities are the heart of the franchise:
- Craig T. Nelson as Bob Parr / Mr. Incredible
- Holly Hunter as Helen Parr / Elastigirl
- Sarah Vowell as Violet Parr
- Samuel L. Jackson as Lucius Best / Frozone
- Brad Bird is also expected to reprise his role as the fan-favorite superhero costume designer, Edna Mode.
The role of Dashiell 'Dash' Parr will likely see a new voice actor, as the original voice actor, Spencer Fox, has aged significantly since the first film's production, a change that was also necessary for the sequel.
Plot Speculation: The Next Generation of Supers
The end of *Incredibles 2* saw the official legalization of superheroes, effectively resolving the central conflict of the first two films. This leaves *Incredibles 3* with a clean slate to explore new, post-Prohibition challenges.
The most compelling plot theories focus on the growth and development of the Parr children:
- Jack-Jack Parr's Powers: The third film is almost guaranteed to focus heavily on Jack-Jack, whose nearly limitless and unpredictable powers were a highlight of *Incredibles 2*. The story could revolve around the family's struggle to control or train the powerful infant, potentially attracting a new, powerful villain specifically designed to counter his abilities.
- Violet and Dash's Future: Violet Parr, with her force field and invisibility powers, is now a teenager navigating school and a crush, while Dash is still focused on using his super speed. The film could see them stepping up as full-fledged heroes, perhaps even leading their own missions, shifting the focus from the parents to the children.
- The Global Threat: With superheroes now legal, the scale of the threat could expand globally. Instead of a villain like Screenslaver focused on public perception, the new antagonist might be a global force or a villain with a history tied to the golden age of supers, similar to the motivations of Syndrome in the original film.
The combination of Brad Bird's writing and Peter Sohn's fresh directorial vision suggests a story that will balance high-stakes superhero action with the relatable, domestic challenges of a super-powered family in the modern world. The wait for the 2028 release is long, but the confirmed details prove that Pixar is taking its time to craft a worthy conclusion or continuation for one of its most beloved franchises. The first trailer, whenever it drops, will be one of the most anticipated in cinema history.
