Boo! Pixar is developing a third movie in the popular “Monsters Inc.” franchise.
The project was revealed in a lengthy Wall Street Journal profile, which examined the inner workings at Pixar as the animation studio debuts its latest release, “Hoppers.”
In addition to the “Monsters” franchise, Pixar has a few more major sequels in the works, including this June’s “Toy Story 5”; “The Incredibles 3,” which has been dated for 2028 and helmed by “Elemental” director Peter Sohn; and a second “Coco” movie, expected to debut in 2029.
But the studio is also taking some big swings on original stories, like next year’s “Gatto,” about a feline thief in Venice. Pixar reportedly pivoted “Ono Ghost Market,” a project inspired by Asian myths “about supernatural bazaars where the living and dead interact,” from a streaming series to a movie. The studio is also developing its first-ever musical, from “Turning Red” director Domee Shi.
More to come…
