Deadline reports that the leading American animation studio also revealed the name of a new original feature, Coco, which will debut nationwide on November 22, 2017. In addition Gigantic, a Disney animation feature that was teased at Disney’s D23 Expo in August, will have its debut on March 9, 2018, and the Mouse House is planning a quartet of as-yet-unnamed live-action fairy tale adaptations starting on December 22, 2017, followed by releases on November 2, 2018, March 29, 2019 and November 8, 2019.
Last month Bird revealed to Collider that he was nearly done with the script for Incredibles 2: "have the story arc. I’m probably three-quarters through the script, first pass through the script, but we’re already boarding parts of it. I’ve got a lot of people that worked on the first one working on it, so we’re all having a good time with it."
Bird also noted that the cinematic landscape of superhero films has changed considerably since the original Incredibles film debuted in 2004: "What’s changed is there were only two other superhero franchises at the time Incredibles came out. One of them was X-Men and the other was Spider-Man, and now there are 400 billion of them and there’s a new superhero movie every two weeks. What you don’t want to do is trot over the same turf in the same way everyone else is. So we’re trying to keep it focused in the area that our film was, which was a little bit more about characters and relationships and stuff like that, and see where that takes us."
