I could see Black Panther 3 going in a really interesting direction by making Magneto the main villain and tying his story into the rise of mutants. Due to his holocaust origigns no longer being possible due to how much time has passed since ww2, his origins could be reworked so that he comes from Rwanda, growing up surrounded by war and eventually becoming bitter toward a world that repeatedly failed his people. He discovers the hidden City of Vibranium and learns that Wakanda had the power to intervene but chose to remain isolated, giving him another reason to resent Wakanda and its rulers. As mutants begin appearing around the world and governments turn against them, Magneto sees an opportunity to tear down the existing order and build a new one. Storm could initially join him, especially because of her own African roots and her understanding of his anger, but her connection to T’Challa Jr. could complicate everything. Their relationship could become the emotional heart of the story, with Storm caught between Magneto’s vision for mutantkind and her growing bond with T’Challa’s son. That could ultimately put her in the position of choosing between Magneto’s revolution and Wakanda, while setting up the rise of the mutants and an eventual human-mutant war in the MCU.

Hi guys, I am part of a discord group of animators (about 50 of us so far) who work in the industry, most of us are only really working on television projects but one member actually did some concept animation whilst working at a temporary gig at Pixar last year for Incredibles 3, and he recently posted this which I found quite interesting.

”The initial concept was for The Incredibles to meet another family of superheroes (known as The Unstoppables) who seemed to be the perfect superhero family, the kids were even free to be superheroes and go on their own missions and stuff like that.

There was going to be the mother who had the ability to control weather

The father was going to have basically the same powers as Mr Incredible, except he can fly.

There was going to be a teenage boy around the same age as Violet who can change his size (a bit like Antman), but he has trouble controlling it sometimes.

There was going to be a girl slightly younger than Dash, who is incredibly smart and can move objects with her mind.

Then obviously the family wouldn’t have been all as they seem, and a rivalry would’ve grown between the two families which would’ve really allowed for some super cool sequences. Jack Jack would’ve also been a bit of McGuffin for some of the characters.

Edna Mode’s fashion designer rival ex Husband would’ve also provided the costumes for The Unstoppables.

But between the D23 panel and what I’ve heard from some other animators, Pixar have decided to go in a new direction and The Unstoppables won’t be featured, but thought this would be cool to share nonetheless“

Okay this will make more sense come Christmas, but if you want a hint for what the 2026 xmas special will look like, the plot was described by RTD in the Writers Guide (2010 edition) when discussing a direction he was considering going in for a certain episode towards the end of his run - the plot is obviously getting reworked, but the main framework is definitely already out there. I also hear that RTD is hoping to get Helen Bonham Carter to play a mother figure role in the episode, and pre-production is well and truly in motion for an August or September production start date.
