Now that director Brad Bird has cleared his schedule of Tomorrowland, he’s ready to re-flex those muscles for another of our favorite Disney universes: The Incredibles. Bird only recently confirmed The Incredibles 2 as his next feature, but our heads are heads are already dreaming (in CGI, of course) of what his next installment could hold. As the Parr family suits up for a new adventure, we run through the moments we want to see most.

A Dr. Doom Stand-In
It’s no secret that The Incredibles bare a strong resemblance to Marvel Comics’ first super-powered family: The Fantastic Four. From the Parr family’s power-sets to their quirky dynamics, the characters strike a chord very close Mr. Fantasic’s, Invisible Girl’s, The Thing’s, and Human Torch’s. With that in mind, it would amazing to see an Incredibles spin on The Fantasic Four’s arch-nemesis, Doctor Doom.
Bird and Pixar could easily introduce the Doom stand-in as an old foe from Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl’s golden days, back to seek revenge on his old rivals. An Incredibles-Doom who just as brilliant and conniving as Marvel’s, but also a satirization of Doom-speak and super villain posturing, would fit perfectly in the Incredibles’ universe.

New Costumes
What’s a superhero sequel without new and improved costumes? While the Incredibles’ original duds were certainly iconic, they aren’t immune to an upgrade. We’re talking a jarring “Electric Blue Superman” here, but rather a tasteful update. A new spin on the original design would leave the team looking fresh, but memorable at the same time. Plus, new costumes are mighty fine excuse to bring the wonderful Mrs. Hogenson character back into the story.
Marvel Comics References
Disney Animation’s Big Hero 6—though admittedly a Marvel Comics property—proved that successful Marvel Easter eggs could be done on the sly, without detracting from the real stars. Perhaps its time for a certain Mr. Stan Lee to make another animated Disney cameo.
