Incredibles 2 is a 2018 American animated superhero film written and directed by Brad Bird. Produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, it is the second film in The Incredibles franchise, and a sequel to the 2004 film. Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Vowell, and Samuel L. Jackson reprise their roles from the first film, with Huck Milner, Bob Odenkirk, Catherine Keener, and Jonathan Banks joining the cast. The film follows the Incredibles as they try to restore the public's trust in superheroes while balancing family life.
Following the success of The Incredibles, Bird postponed development on a sequel to work on other films. He attempted to distinguish the script from other superhero films and television series released since the first film, focusing on the family dynamic rather than the superhero genre.
Incredibles 2 premiered in Los Angeles on June 5, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 15, 2018. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, humor, voice acting, action sequences, writing, and musical score. The film grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2018, and during its theatrical run it was the second-highest-grossing animated film, and the 15th-highest-grossing film of all time. It also became the highest-grossing animated film in the United States and Canada, as well as the highest-grossing Pixar film until Inside Out 2 (2024).
The film was named by the National Board of Review as the Best Animated Film of 2018, and was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the 76th Golden Globe Awards and 91st Academy Awards, but lost both to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It was also the winner of the 2019 Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Animated Movie. A sequel, Incredibles 3, is scheduled to be released on June 16, 2028.
