A release date has been set for Brad Bird's highly anticipated animated film, before he gets his hands on The Incredibles 3.
Don't make eye contact
Bird was the writer and director of the previous Incredibles films and will be involved in the third film in some capacity. However, it appears he is working on another animated project first.
Ray Gunn has been an idea for so long that it actually existed before Bird’s directorial debut, The Iron Giant . But now, according to The Wrap , Bird is reportedly working on the sci-fi noir detective film.
Ray Gunn was initially positioned as a traditional 2D film at Warner Bros., but has been in limbo for a variety of reasons. Since Skydance reunited Pixar’s John Lasseter with Brad Bird, the film has now bounced to that company and Netflix, with an eye toward a 2026 release.
