(AP Photo/Disney, File)Disney/AP by [Andrea Towers / EW](/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Andrea Towers / EW Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close May 11, 2015 2:39 PM CUT If you wanted more of _The Incredibles_, you’re in luck. _Tomorrowland_ director Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the original 2004 Pixar hit, is making the sequel his next project. Bird [told Collider](http://collider.com/incredibles-2-is-brad-birds-next-movie-talks-directing-star-wars-movie/ "undefined") that he already has made significant progress on the script, adding that he had a lot of ideas “that I wanted to pursue a little bit, and there wasn’t enough time in \[the original\] _Incredibles_. There are new ideas I have, and I think there are enough of those together to make an interesting movie.” An _Incredibles_ sequel was [officially announced](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-plans-third-cars-movie-689332 "undefined") in March 2014. Bird said that he’ll “start playing in the _Incredibles_ sandbox again” soon after the release of his current film, _Tomorrowland_, on May 22\. That means the chances of Bird directing a _Star Wars_ sequel or spinoff are still a long-shot. Bird had early conversations with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy about working on the the new trilogy, but he ultimately opted to make _Tomorrowland_ instead. Now, with Josh Trank dropping out of the second _Star Wars_ spinoff film, there’s speculation that Bird might be back in the mix. But not so fast: “Kathy and I have discussed the possibility of—I mean she’s basically saying this is a very large sandbox and other people can play in it,” Bird said. “I’m writing a sequel to _The Incredibles_ and I can’t think too much farther beyond that. I have other things I want to do as well.” He even doused the _Star Wars_ speculation, saying, “Yeah, in fact, just avoid all this _Star Wars_ stuff. Everybody’s feeding too much on that anyway.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/11/brad-bird-confirms-incredibles-2?xid=IFT-Trending "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/ "undefined")_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3853691/incredibles-2-brad-bird/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3853691/incredibles-2-brad-bird/"},"headline":"Brad Bird Confirms The Incredibles 2 as His Next Film","datePublished":"2015-05-11T14:39:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:05:39.075Z","description":"There's speculation he might be involved in a 'Star Wars' spinoff as well","url":"https://time.com/3853691/incredibles-2-brad-bird/","keywords":["movies","Pixar"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1f3d55cab195b181/69868609810bbbbf03c908c5/incredibles-sequel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Andrea Towers / EW"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1f3d55cab195b181/69868609810bbbbf03c908c5/incredibles-sequel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Incredibles","caption":"The Incredibles","creditText":"Disney/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3853691/incredibles-2-brad-bird/","name":"Brad Bird Confirms The Incredibles 2 as His Next Film"}}]}] ```
