Disney Plans Third ‘Cars’ Movie and Second ‘Incredibles’ Film
Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger disclosed Tuesday that Pixar is working on a new Cars movie and a new Incredibles film. He also said Frozen is close to surpassing Toy Story 3 as the biggest animated film of all time, and that the next Star Wars movie will pick up 30 years after the events in 1983’s Return of the Jedi, a timeframe that conceivably would allow Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher to play aging versions of their iconic characters, though Iger only hinted at such possibilities.
“There will be some very familiar faces along with a trio of new young leads,” Iger said. “The team is well into preproduction and from the concept art that I have seen so far, Star Wars: Episode VII really looks amazing.”
Iger was speaking in Portland, Ore., during Disney’s annual meeting of shareholders.
