‘Elemental’ filmmaker Peter Sohn has been set to direct the third movie in the animated franchise ‘The Incredibles.’
The franchise follows married couple Bob and Helen Parr (Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter) who live in the quiet suburbs with their three children after being forced to hide their superpowers by a new government mandate. Samuel L. Jackson and Sarah Vowell are part of the main cast.

Brad Bard, who wrote and directed the first two movies, is currently in the process of writing the screenplay for the threequel, which will be produced by Bird and Dana Murray (Oscar-winning Soul).
Sohn and Bird share an extensive history of working together: Sohn has contributed to every animated film directed by Bird (including The Incredibles and Incredibles 2) leading up to this year’s Ray Gunn. Bird has served as a mentor to Sohn, who was specifically selected to continue the legacy of The Incredibles by Bird and Pixar’s chief creative officer, Pete Docter.
