Audiences might have waited 14 years for a sequel to The Incredibles by the time the second film comes out in 2018, but not as much time has passed for the movie's titular family. Speaking with IGN, Pixar chief creative officer John Lasseter confirmed that The Incredibles 2 begins immediately after the events of the first Incredibles.

"It starts right as the first one finishes, so it just carries on," Lasseter said during an interview at D23 Expo, quipping that only "a minute" will have passed. He added, "It starts with the Underminer and a big old set piece. You know that at the end of the first movie when he comes up and you see the family dressed as superheroes, well that's where start this movie."Brad Bird will again be directing and writing this Incredibles tale, which Lasseter described as "such a special story.""One of the unique things about the Incredibles is it's really a story of a family set in the world of superheroes. This one carries on that theme," he said. "It's awesome, the idea we came up with -- simple as that. ... We love to really look at our own lives and look at what's going on, and find themes that we know will resonate with the audience."Check out our full interview with Lasseter below, where we talk about Coco, Toy Story 4 and the future of Pixar.
