Disney*Pixar released some plot & character details for Incredibles 2 yesterday with a bunch of pics of the cast members next to paintings of their voiced character. The way they released the pics was so cool it pretty much overshadowed the synopsis & new characters for me. I put them all down at the bottom, & you'll notice a percentage at the top corner. This is from an app that shows your resemblance to paintings, letting us know how close the heroes are to their real-life counterparts. Hats off! That is some amazing marketing right their. This should be an animated film thing now. I would love to see just how much of The Rock is in Maui. They haven't let us know much until this point except for the whole Mr. Incredible dealing with Jack-Jack's emerging multiple power set. It looks like now according to EW we know Elastigirl is going to take the fore-front as she becomes the face of a campaign to bring back Supers. If you remember the first Supers were outlawed, but now people might be coming back around after that films ending. We got some new characters joining the family this time around as well. Bob Odenkirk play rich, suave telecommunication bigwig with a infatuation with Supers, Winston Deavor. They also teased this plot point: "He has been a supporter of Supers returning- all he needs is a hero (or three) to help him change public perception & bring them into the sunlight." Sounds good & all, but his description immediately makes me think of Lex Luthor. His genius sister, Evelyn will be played by Catherine Keener & is described as the brains of the Deavors' successful company. Jonathan Banks, one of my favorite parts of Breaking Bad, will be taking over Rick Dicker from animation vet Bud Luckey. Dicker is from the first film. An agent from the Super Relocation Program tasked to keep Super identities secret. However, his division will soon be "shuttered", leaving the Parrs with just each other. We get another Super in the form of Elastigirl-obsessed, Voyd. Played by Sophia Bush she can "divert & manipulate objects around her by creating voids that allow the objects to appear & disappear, & shift in space." Think Blink from the X-Men, that's how it sounds to me at least. The last new member announced to join the fray was Isabella Rossellini's Ambassasor. A foreign dignitary very much in favor of the legal return of Supers. She looks like an old Michael Jackson. Not sure what to make of her as they didn't say much more than that. Can't wait to find out more on the way to Incredibles 2 release, June 15th. What do you think of the way these pics were released? Not to mention all these new plot & character details? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
