Even as superhero films have become considerably more prominent since Brad Bird’s first installment debuted back in 2004, The Incredibles 2 will continue to embrace the timeless mid-century, Art Deco style and aesthetic that we have all come to know and appreciate.
It doesn’t crib from The Dark Knight or the MCU; it purely exists in its own version of a classic superhero reality.
The sequel will take us into a very familiar world, and it’s beginning to look like Jack-Jack may become one of its most exciting new players.
Aside from the raw, kinetic energy of The Incredibles 2 footage shown at D23, the scene screened for the crowd also served to reaffirm our hopes that the long-awaited sequel will maintain the overall style and tone of the original story.
