Pixar Has No Plans For More Sequels After Incredibles 2 For The Time Being

Bad news as there don't seem to be any plans to re-visit those worlds in the near future, as the studio seems focused on doing some original material following The Incredibles 2.

Reception to Pixar doing sequels has been pretty much mixed, as there are fans that would like for Pixar to re-visit some of their favorite characters, while others want Pixar to focus on doing more original material and focus less on sequels or not make any at all, unlike other studios such as Dreamworks who has sequels and spin offs to most of their franchises every year, if you dont like Pixar doing sequels, then this is good news for you, as Pixar president Jim Morris told Entertainment Weekly, they have no plans for follows up after the release of The Incredibles 2. This is what Jim Morris told EW regarding the topic of sequels on Pixar, also explaining that unlike other studios, they dont greenlight a sequel because the last one did well, they are only greenlight if they have a story they want to tell.

Most studios jump on doing a sequel as soon as they have a successful film, but our business model is a filmmaker model, and we don’t make a sequel unless the director of the original film has an idea that they like and are willing to go forward on,” Morris explains. “A sequel in some regards is even harder [than the original] because you’ve got this defined world which, on the one hand, is a leg up, and on the other hand has expectations that you can’t disappoint on.” Morris says, “Everything after Toy Story and The Incredibles is an original right now.”  Morris says. “Pete Docter has an original idea for his next film. Brad Bird, being the director of Ratatouille, is working on The Incredibles and we haven’t really spoken about [a sequel to] that. And WALL-E is close to my heart since I produced it, It would be good to back and visit that world and let everybody know that the humans actually survived again after getting back to their burnt-out planet. But that was really a love story that had its beginning, middle, and end, so we’re not really planning any further stories in those worlds at this point.

Our plan had been to make an original every year and a sequel every other year, if the idea came forth to do it,” says Morris. “If we add the next films after the current ones, it actually comes out to exactly that: seven sequels in a spate of 21 originals, from the time we were acquired by Disney [in 2006]. So it’s penciled out to be the same portfolio, just not in the order we thought they would be. And a lot of that has to do with when Andrew had a sequel idea, and Brad had a sequel idea…sometimes that’s just how it happens.

For the time being we will re-visit the world of Cars next summer, followed by Toy Story 4 in 2018 and The Incredibles 2 in 2019, alongside an original movie named Coco in 2017 following Cars 3, for the time being what comes after Incredibles 2 is up to anyone guess, but it wont be another sequel.

This is great news, actually. Comic book movies are the best at doing sequels. Other genres don't always work with sequels.

"We don't make a sequel unless the director of the original film has an idea that they like and are willing to go forward on". Then could someone please explain Cars 2 to me?

@TheNewGuy123 - Contrary to what others may think, Cars 2 was not made for cash grab, Cars 2 just like Toy story 3, Finding Dory and such was made because they thought they had an good idea.

as the idea of Cars 2 came to John Lasseter mind when doing the press tour for the first movie, as when you are promoting your movie sometimes you will have to travel around the world, John Lassester convienced the idea for Cars 2 because when he visited places like Tokyo, England, France and so on, it came to his mind, what would Mater do if he visited these places he just did and he thought this was an good idea for a sequel.

Sometimes there will be ideas hat may sound good in your head, but once its been made into a movie, game, book, anything, it may not work out as you imagined it

Next pixar film: a snowflake falling to earth.

No I'm serous, I figured out a great story of a snowflake falling to earth afraid of what the surface brings. If anyone could make it work, Pixar has the best shot

Good! Leave Bug's Life alone! Not every classic follow up ends up good.
