Samuel L. Jackson Says Frozone is Part of 'The Incredibles 2'


Disney and Pixar finally gave fans what they had been asking for when Bob Iger announced that a sequel to The Incredibles was in development. We still don't know much about the storyline Brad Bird is putting together, but Samuel L. Jackson, who voiced the superhero Frozone, has been told he'll be back. In a conversation with Digital Spy, Jackson said...

"Every time I run into Brad (Bird) he always tells me Frozone is going to be part of whatever's going on, so I have to believe that. I guess they would be the Incredibles without Frozone, but I think Frozone would be a wonderful, wonderful addition to what's already there. I'm just looking forward to seeing what Jack-Jack turned into."

Jack-Jack was the baby of the Incredibles family, revealed to have a wide array of powers at the end of the film. Here's hoping they don't jump ahead too many years and alter the dynamic that worked so well before. Right now we have no firm word on who will be returning, or who will direct.

'The Incredibles 2' and 'Cars 3' In the Works


The days of Pixar releasing wholly unique animated films every year are long gone, in favor of sequels and 3D re-releases of their most cherished classics. They are a part of the Disney juggernaut, after all, and keeping these profitable brands churning is a priority.  One film everyone has actually been asking for was a sequel to The Incredibles, and while there has been off-and-on talk about it, the prospect seemed unlikely. Until now that is with the announcement that The Incredibles 2 is finally going to happen.

Disney's Bob Iger revealed that a sequel to Brad Bird's 2004 superhero comedy is in the planning stages with Bird writing the script. No word on if he will direct or if they'll turn to another of their talented group for the job. Bird has moved on to live-action films, directing Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol and the upcoming Tomorrowland. Iger also announced that Cars 3 is in the works, this despite the lukewarm reception to Cars 2. Despite that, it still made $560M worldwide and probably a lot more in merchandising, so a sequel was never really in doubt. It doesn't look like it will have anything to do with the spinoff franchise, Planes,

No release dates on these yet but stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
