Pixar Slate: New Dates for The Simpsons Movie and Incredibles 3
Pixar Unveils Epic Slate: From Superheroes to Supernatural Markets
The curtain has officially lifted on the latest reveals from Pixar, painting a vibrant picture of cinematic ambition that spans superheroes, supernatural thrillers, and family-focused sequels. The excitement is palpable as studio buzz builds around major upcoming projects, promising some truly unforgettable adventures for audiences worldwide.
At the heart of the announcement is the highly anticipated follow-up to the superhero phenomenon: The Incredibles 3. Directed by the visionary Peter Sohn, this installment is set for a release on June 16th, 2028. More than just a family sequel, Pixar is leaning into the world of supers by shifting the focus to Violet and Dash, challenging them to embrace their powers and learn how to manage Jack-Jack’s seemingly unwieldy abilities in a newly legal society.
Meanwhile, the studio is busy weaving new tales across its animated tapestry. Fans can look forward to Coco 2, where the story picks up several years later, thrusting Miguel into the unpredictable Land of the Dead as a teenager. The narrative deepens as Benjamin Bratt returns to portray Ernesto de la Cruz, the disgraced musician, seeking retribution against Miguel for his past interference. This sequel is helmed by Lee Unkrich and co-director Adrian Molina, with a target theatrical release date set for November 21, 2029.
Beyond the familiar family fare, Pixar is also diving into the realm of the fantastical with a brand-new feature film project titled Ghost Market. This supernatural thriller introduces a young boy who ventures into a hidden market where the veil between the living and the dead thins. Directed by Trevor Jimenez, known for his Oscar-nominated short Weekends, the film is slated for release in theaters in Spring 2028. This project was initially conceived as an animated series possibility before being transformed into a full-scale theatrical experience.
The excitement doesn’t stop there, as Disney also teased exciting updates on live-action properties. Details are emerging for Lilo & Stitch 2, the live-action sequel, which is set to arrive in theaters in May 2028 and will reintroduce beloved character Angel to the spotlight.
Adding to the Disney universe’s cinematic lineup is the reimagining of Tangled. This latest adventure features a dazzling ensemble cast, including Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, and Diego Luna as Diego. While anticipation is high for this new take, fans are certainly hoping that the live-action adaptation will capture the magic of the original while delighting modern audiences.
Pixar continues to deliver a diverse range of stories, proving once again that animated cinema can tackle everything from epic superhero sagas to mysterious supernatural journeys and heartwarming family tales. The slate is packed with imaginative worlds waiting to be explored.
