This announcement was made by Disney CEO Bob Iger, who also said that Brad Bird will return as the director of The Incredibles 2 and he will also work on Cars 3. The 56-year old director was known for developing two of Pixar's highest-grossing films, The Incredibles in 2004 and Ratatouille in 2007.
Brad Bird is currently working on Tomorrowland which will be released under Walt Disney Pictures on May 22. His next assignment will be the new Pixar movies, and fans have been requesting the animated genius to create Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2.
Disney Pixar also spread the good news on social media. They tweeted, "It's official: we're currently working on new films featuring your favorite characters from The Incredibles and Cars!"
The original Cars movie was released back in 2006 and it featured the voices of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, and Larry the Cable Guy. In 2011, a second installment of the Cars franchise was released. That was followed by a spinoff feature called Planes under Disneytoon Studios in 2013. This year, a sequel to that spinoff Planes: Fire & Rescue will hit the theaters on July 18. If you can't wait for Cars 3, then catch the second installment of Planes this year.
