A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."

An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

The Incredibles are coming back, but don't rush your super-suit to the dry cleaners just yet. It's going to be a long wait until Bob, Helen, and company return for their third big-screen outing. In fact, it'll be almost ten years to the date since their last adventure.

The Incredibles 3 will be released on June 16, 2028, marking a decade and a day since The Incredibles 2 premiered in 2018. Of course, the franchise is no stranger to belated sequels, since Incredibles 2 premiered 14 years after the original film made its first bow in 2004. So far, details about the film have been as difficult to find as invisible teenager Violet. However, we do know that Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the first two films of the series, will not be back in the director's chair. He will be executive producing and penning the script, but directorial duties have been passed to Pixar veteran Peter Sohn, who recently helmed Elemental; appropriately, Sohn's first Hollywood job was working as an animator on Bird's 1999 classic The Iron Giant.

Who Are The Incredibles?

Set in a retro-futuristic 1960s, The Incredibles takes place in a world where costumed superheroes and villains were once commonplace, but were eventually outlawed by the government. As the first film opens, Bob and Helen Parr (Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter), formerly the invulnerable Mr. Incredible and the pliable Elasti-Girl, have settled down in suburbia with their three kids, hyperactive Dash (Spencer Fox), shy Violet (Sarah Vowell), and baby Jack-Jack. While Bob occasionally does some clandestine superheroics with similarly retired buddy Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), he longs to be a hero again...and seemingly gets that chance from the mysterious Syndrome (Jason Lee). However, Syndrome's true intentions are deeply sinister, and soon it will take Bob's whole family — including Dash and Violet, who have powers of their own — to save him. The sequel sees a pair of billionaire siblings (Catherine Keener and Bob Odenkirk) planning to bring superheroes out of the shadows, but a new menace, the hypnotic Screenslaver, threatens to destroy them once and for all.
