Brad Bird Throws Cold Water on Marvel & Incredibles Crossover

Incredibles 2

Incredibles 1 and 2director Brad Bird is not interested in ingest Pixar ’s superheroes cross - over with Marvel Studios ' type . To be sightly , it ’s something that could actually bump , now that both Marvel and Pixar are part of the big Disney family . The Mouse House is already taking vantage of the diaphanous number of information science under its umbrella by having Marvel characters , stormtroopers , and Disney princesses alike look in this fall’sRalph rupture the net : shipwreck - It Ralph 2 . Similarly , next year’sKingdom Hearts IIIwill add new Pixar globe to the Disney - flavored Square Enix serial publication .

ThefirstIncredibles 2reviewswent live today and have corroborate that Bird ’s continuation is designed to swear out as a sequel to his original 2004 moving picture , not a comment on the wage hike of Marvel Studios and the MCU in the 14 years since then . Moreover , when it comes to the idea of the superintendent of theIncrediblesuniverse ( Mr. Incredible , Elastigirl , Frozone , and so on ) crossing track with Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes and/or the Guardians of the Galaxy , Bird has a very simple intellect for wanting to keep them separate .

Bird was involve about the possible action of the Incredibles and MCU ’s superheroes join force during anIMAX and AMC Q&Afor his continuation , and respond to the question with one of his own:“How about we keep these existence separate?“Thankfully , in a unlike audience withFandangoto promoteIncredibles 2 , Bird elaborated more on why , precisely , he ’s not excited by the idea of Disney ’s various IPs crossing over in a individual film :

At Pixar we ’ve always matt-up like Marvel is Marvel , and Pixar is Pixar , and Lucasfilm is Lucasfilm . And they serve well everyone well , admit Disney , if they ’re disjoined . If you start crossing them too much it ’s like when you blend too many color together , it starts turning into mud . So , that may make a selling guy ’s mouth weewee but I do n’t think it make artists excited .

Bird has verbalise in the past times about how he assay to make sureIncredibles 2stands out in the MCU eraby persist true to what made the original flick unequalled to set out with . It ’s certainly possible that having theIncrediblescharacters grumpy - over with Marvel Studios ' superheroes would serve to unwrap that effort , which seems to be Bird ’s main business organisation here . Such a crossover would also differ from whatWreck - It Ralph 2is doing . In that animated sequel , the joke is that Disney theatrical role are self - mindful renown that exist online , as opposed to being in the same cinematic universe .

Even MCU flick sometimes struggle to blend their distinct tones and styles , whenever they cross paths during theAvengersfilms every few eld . Pixar motion picture are even more stylistically distinct by comparability , so it ’s easy to grasp why Bird is concerned that they would fall behind their flavor completely by trying to mesh together with the various aesthetics and overall vibe of the MCU . All thing considered , it ’s a fun idea , but probably one that would be better in theory than writ of execution anyway .
