What has been 13 years in the making, we finally get a trailer for Incredible 2. The teaser trailer for the sequel to the 2004 Disney hit debuted on Saturday, but it is only the trailer and we have many, many months until the heroic Parr family and Incredibles 2 hits theaters. In the teaser trailer, Jack-Jack is on the attack after discovering that he has superpowers. Bob and Helen may need Jack-Jack’s new powers to take on the Underminer. The sequel will pick up immediately following the ending of the first movie. “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 [we] start this movie,” Pixar head John Lasseter said.
Earlier this year, Incredibles writer and director Brad Bird gave details of the exciting sequel at the Disney Animation Presentation at D23, “It’s so great to be here to tell you about the film. It’s fundamentally a story about family…with this new film, we’re excited to jump back into that world. We have controls able to do so much more than before. The whole world of Incredibles 2 is gonna be greatly expanded upon. We’ll be seeing a lot more of Elastagirl.”
The cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, who provides his one-of-a-kind voice to be Lucius Best / Frozone, Holly Hunter as Helen Parr / Elastigirl, Craig T. Nelson as Bob Parr / Mr. Incredible, Sarah Vowell as Violet Parr, Huck Milner as Dash Parr, and John Ratzenberger as The Underminer. The official synopsis: “It’s a tough transistion for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.”
It will be tough for the sequel to beat the original Incredibles which snatched up two Oscars and grossed more than $633 million at the box office. Incredibles 2 comes to theaters on June 15th, 2018.
