The CANCELLED Incredibles script we will NEVER see

Incredibles originally was going to be a very different movie. The villain was changed, the story redone and deleted scenes left on the cutting room floor. I dive into the cancelled Incredibles pitch that we will never see on screen.

Do you think the family should be aged up for Incredibles 3?

[PredictedCyborg]

Another part of the original opening scene is that Syndrome mentions that Supers are apparently not even ALLOWED to have children. That would have been a heck of a dark plot.

[AgarthianTrapstar]

I'm glad the "you married elastigirl?" Line still made it in.

[poweroffriendship.]

The part where Bob accidently "cut" his fingers with the butcher knife which leave a dent on the blade and pretend that he's screaming in pain that made everyone panic is bloody hilarious though.

The scene where he has to pretend he cut his fingers off is fucking gold man

[MSTRxCBOOSE]

“He may have been your father, Vi, but he wasn’t your daddy.”

[PenguinjitsuX]

I think their decision to switch to Syndrome as the main villain was perfect. While Zarrick looks like a cool character, he's way too similar to cliché and traditional villains that are smart and calculating. It would be too similar to every other superhero movie. Syndrome was one of the key features that made the Incredibles so unique and refreshing because he was just this kid who wanted to be glorified as a hero, albeit through the wrong methods. He's also another smart villain with the tech and the planning, but his personality and motivations are really interesting and fun to explore.

Xerek ought to be the villain in Incredibles 3.
I mean look at that design.
It almost reminds me of a more Charming Dr Calico.

[Benjamillion]

We can at least admit that Syndrome was already a perfect villain.

[Sam_Jalmanak]

Zereck being Violet's true father was actually one hell of a good plot twist

[seanstark]

If Zereck was in the original Incredibles movie, i think Malcolm McDowell would've been an awesome choice to play him

[lyandraangel]

Nice tie in for why Violet looks so different from Bob and her siblings. She still has some facial features that could be from Helen, after all.

[notproductiveproductions]

I don’t care if the family ages, I just want the third one give Violet and Dash the spotlight

[thefilmwatcher]

The Incredibles is a masterpiece. I think a third movie in which the family is aged up would be phenomenal. It would allow for a slightly different dynamic between the family members. Also, when you said the reveal about Zarrick, my jaw dropped.

[dieselexkore]

That White haired woman who was talking about not wanting to raise kids looks like that one character from Phineas and Ferb who fights Isabellas Chihuahua.

[nicobones]

This would have been an amazing movie, but it would be a little too gutsy for a family movie. It's got themes of domestic abuse and children born out of wedlock, and that would be far too risky for Disney to put in a family film. Even so, it would be an AMAZING film!

[Deathsweetsong]

“Elastic girl?! you married elastic girl! And had a kid?!”
I love the fact they kept that line in the final product of the film any only changed “had a kid” to “and gotten busy!”

[asf]

If they do a 3rd Incredibles movie, and is focused on the children, they still can use a variation of this cold oppening. Obviously whitout Syndrome.

[leluchvibritannia]

This plot of Violet’s parentage can still work in a future sequel, like when Violet is all grown up and Helen is debating whether it’s time she finally learns the truth

[jaenderman]

I would prefer this to be the sequel of the Incredibles than the one we got.
