Incredibles 2 Director Reveals How the Villain Changed During the Making of the Film

I absolutely loved writer-director Brad Bird’s Incredibles 2. It’s one of those rare sequels that just gets everything right and reminds you why Pixar is such a special company. Trust me, if you were nervous The Incredibles sequel would be anything less than amazing, you can relax. Finally, while everyone that worked on Incredibles 2 deserves some credit for helping to bring the film to life, I’ve got to single out Michael Giacchino, because his score for the film is something really special and absolutely elevates everything on screen. I can’t wait to see it again.

With the film now playing in theaters and breaking box office records, I got to sit down with Brad Bird and producer Nicole Grindle. During the interview, they talked about how making the sequel was like the first Incredibles, in the way the villain changed during the making of the film, why Bird doesn’t write for kids, how Bugs Bunny cartoons and Jonny Quest influenced the film, the incredible production design, and a lot more.

As most of you know from the trailers, Incredibles 2 is about Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) heading out to try and redeem the good name of the Supers, which leaves Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) at home trying to raise Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner), and Jack-Jack. The film also features the voice of Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener.
