"The Incredibles" is a highly recognized Disney and Pixar animated film that was released back in 2004. The film has an open ending that suggests an impending sequel, one rumored to have an unexpected villain coming from the Parr family themselves.

"The Incredibles" tells the story of the Parr family, a group of superheroes that's in hiding, living as normal people amongst civilians. The Parr children — Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack — received their powers from their parents, the much celebrated Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl.

The Parr family sports several powers that when used together helps them become a very effective team. Mr. Incredible is equipped with superhuman strength, Elastagirl has superb flexibility and stretching abilities, Violet can create force fields and become invisible, Dash has superhuman speed, and Jack-Jack has the ability to change into any type of matter.

Though the Parr family was shown as one happy family in "The Incredibles," rumors suggest that the same could not be expected in "The Incredibles 2." It is highly speculated that one of the Parr family will become the next movie's villain. One character that comes to mind in line with this speculation is Jack-Jack.

Jack-Jack is deemed the most powerful in the Parr family because of his ability to change into any type of matter, a superpower that the Parr family was not yet aware of in "The Incredibles." According to rumors, Jack-Jack will become a rebellious teenager who is confused about his superpowers.

As of today, there is still no official news on "The Incredibles 2" plot, but "The Incredibles" director Brad Bird mentioned that the sequel will come with "The same characters and feel, but going in a new direction. I mean, that's the trick with a sequel. It's repeating yourself, without repeating yourself," he said in an interview.

Though there is no official release date yet, "The Incredibles 2" is expected to be released on June 21, 2019.
