Trivia / Incredibles 2

• Acting for Two:
  • Phil LaMarr voices Krushauer and He-Lectrix.
  • Though credited under additional voices, Cathy Cavadini voices Welch (the production assistant at the tv studio Elastigirl visits) and the main news woman.
• All-Star Cast:
  • Most of the cast from the original film return, this time with the additions of Bob Odenkirk, Catherine Keener, Sophia Bush, Jonathan Banks, Phil LaMarr, Paul Eiding, Isabella Rossellini, and a cameo from Usher.
  • The Brazilian Portuguese dub has actors Otaviano Costa and Flávia Alessandra, along TV hosts Evaristo Costa (no relation to Otaviano) and Raul Gil.
  • The Italian dub has, of course, Isabella Rossellini dubbing her own character in Italian, the return of Amanda Lear as Edna, Italian TV presenter Tiberio Timperi as Chad Brentley, Italian paralympic gold medalist Bebe Vio as Voyd and Italian actress Ambra Angiolini as Evelyn Deavor.
• Approval of God: Sophia Bush who voices Voyd/Karen discovered a webcomic starring her character which utilizes a fan theory where she is a transgender girl. Not only did Bush love the comic, she even said she fully supports the transgender fan theory. This goes so far as her saying that if Voyd was intended to be trans, she’d have turned down the role and request a real-life trans woman to voice her.
• Cast Incest: In the Brazilian dub, siblings Winston and Evelyn Deavor are voiced by Otaviano Costa and Flávia Alessandra, who are married in real life.
• Christmas Rushed: The film was initially planned to be released in the summer of 2019 (June 21, 2019). However, Disney decided to push it back to 2018 (which was originally going to go to either Cars 3 or the aftermentioned Toy Story 4), with Toy Story 4 taking its original June 21, 2019 release date, causing the team to rush through its production in order to make its 2018 date. While the film fortunately still came out complete, the lack of extra production time is evident by the large number of deleted scenes and plot lines that were scrapped mid-production, with Brad Bird admitting a lot of his ideas for the sequel were scrapped as a result of the release date swap.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Brad Bird reprises his role as Edna Mode.
• Dawson Casting: Both Sarah Vowell and Michael Bird reprises their respective roles as Violet and Tony, and both impressively still sounds like teenagers despite the former being 48 years old and the latter being in his thirties.
• Deleted Scene:
  • An extended police interview scene where Elastigirl calls out the cops for supporting them with the Omnidroid but not with the Underminer and a scene of the police interrogating Dash and Violet^note this (along with Tony's memory wipe) would have eventually lead to Violet quitting being a Superhero in the middle of the film. Bob catches a glimpse of their interrogation and flips out breaking the one way mirror in anger.
  • A extended scene at the motel's pool where Bob and Helen flashbacks on how they managed to escape the neighborhood after Syndrome's death ^note (which would have re-used and updated the final battle from the first film) where Violet's inexperience at using her invisibility would have lead to her getting caught by a neighborhood dog while she was trying to call the NSA for help ^note which would eventually Foreshadow her eventual attempt at sneaking around the Everjust only to catch Voyd's attention, the flashback would have ended right before Frozone shows up.
  • An alternate version of Bob going to get Edna's help with Jack-Jack with him going to a fashion show she was working at.
  • Another deleted scene, taken from the film's original draft where a rogue AI would have been the villian instead of Evelyn would have had Edna's mansion under attack by her mansion's own security system via the AI hacking them as Bob goes to deliver Jack-Jack to her for babysitting, only for him to end up going through the rogue security system, the scene would have ended with the AI attempting to flood the mansion to drown the three, forcing Bob to hide in his car to escape, with Edna accepting the babysitting duty.
  • A scene near the opening where Honey seeing the Underminer's rampage tries to hide Frozone's supersuit to prevent him from supering.
  • An alternate opening with Bob and Helen checking on Kari about the phone calls she left while babysitting Jack-Jack unaware Rick has wiped her memory. The scene would have shown that Kari was suffering from some odd side effects as a result of the memory wipe with her father being particularly irritated at the Parrs for what they put his daughter through.
  • A funeral scene for Gazerbeam that would have served as a recap for the first film which would have solidified Bob's Character Development from the first film, where he would have taken full blame for Gazerbeam's eventual death as he was the cause of Supers being banned in the first place, which lead to Gazerbeam to seek out Syndrome which got him killed. Said scene would have also fully revealed Gazerbeam's backstory.
  • An extended version of the restaurant scene where while Bob goes to change Jack-Jack's diaper some burglars attempt to rob the place only to be foiled by Dash and Violet (who would have stripped naked during this scene and with one of the burglars getting shot in the arm by his own gun due to Violet's Force Fields disarming him). Dash likewise would have risked his superhero identity being exposed by chasing down the 2nd robber while he was driving in his getaway car which Dash would have caught up to him in seconds and fighting the driver eventually causing him to crash. The scene would have finally ended with an exhausted Dash and an angry Violet (who was likely traumatized and embarrassed further of having to strip herself nude in her crush's restaurant) being confronted by an extremely pissed off Bob would who have snapped at the two and gone on a massive tirade similar to Helen's, quickly reminding them that Supers are illegal, only to go through a quick Heel Realization on how much he's becoming more and more like Helen.
• In Memoriam: The film's credits include a dedication to Bud Luckey, who died shortly before the film's release.
• Ink-Suit Actor: Singer Usher tweeted a cameo of himself as Lucius Best's valet.
• Irony as She Is Cast: Winston Deavor is shown to be a massive fanboy towards superheroes, and is giddy at the thought of bringing them back into the public eye. In 2023, Bob Odenkirk expressed disinterest in appearing in any future works in the superhero genre, as he felt he wasn't built for them.
• Kids' Meal Toy: As they did with the first movie, McDonald's released a set of toys in their Happy Meals. This one was a set of ten action figures of the Parr family, Frozone, Edna, and Rocky the Raccoon. This was notable for being Disney's first Happy Meal promotion since they previously cut ties with McDonald's in 2007.
• Meaningful Release Date: The film came out the Friday before Father's Day, which is fitting since a big part of the movie is Bob's trying to be a more effective father.
• Missing Trailer Scene: The scene where Bob finds out Jack-Jack has powers when the baby gives him a Close-Call Haircut with his Eye Beams is not in the film, with the Internal Reveal being played differently.
• Multiple Languages, Same Voice Actor: Isabella Rossellini as the Ambassador in English and Italian.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Due to the former hitting puberty long since the original film, Spencer Fox was replaced by Huck Milner as the voice actor for Dash. Milner also replaces Raymond Ochoa who voiced Dash in Kinect Rush A Disney-Pixar Adventure and Disney Infinity.
  • Jonathan Banks replaced Bud Luckey as Rick Dicker due to the latter's retirement from voice acting in 2014 and death in April 2018.
  • In the Brazilian dub, Luiz Feier replaced Márcio Seixas as Mr. Incredible, as he did in redubs of the original movie.
  • For the European French dub, Marc Alfos voiced Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible in the first film and passed away in 2012. He was replaced by Gérard Lanvin.
  • For the Italian dub, the voices of both Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl were changed, from Adalberto Maria Merli and Laura Morante to Fabrizio Pucci and Giò Giò Rapattoni. The original ones were mostly actors, especially Morante, while the latter ones are professional dubbers. Rick Dicker also changed voice actors, from Pietro Biondi to Orso Maria Guerrini due to the former's death in the gap between the two movies.
  • Mostly averted with the French Canadian dub. While Frozone's was replaced, everyone else has the same dubbers reprise their roles.
  • For the Latin Spanish dub, only the voices of Dash, Tony Rydinger and Honey were changed. Like the original English version, Memo Aponte was replaced by Oliver Díaz as Dash due to the former having grown up in the years that have passed since the first film's release. Also, Raul Aldana didn't return to voice Tony either since he no longer worked for Disney Character Voices International, so Luis Leonardo Suárez filled in for the part. In addition, Charo Fernández was replaced by Katalina Múzquiz as Honey due to the former being a celebrity.
• Playing with Character Type: On the surface, Winston Deavor seems very similar to Bob Odenkirk's most famous character Saul Goodman, being smooth talking, PR oriented white collar men who have a bit of a sleazy vibe. The difference is Saul is an Amoral Attorney who does it as a facade to further his criminal activities personal interests while Winston turns out to be a genuinely Nice Guy who wants to help people.
• Production Posse: Fellow Better Call Saul alumni Jonathan Banks and Bob Odenkirk star together in this movie, though Banks only fills in for Rick Dicker's cameo early in the movie, with Dicker and Winston Deavor never meeting face-to-face.
• Refitted for Sequel: The raccoon fight was originally pitched for the first movie, but was cut since there wasn't room for it and would have been far darker which would have seen Jack-Jack fought against an army of Raccoons and eventually kill a few of them in the fight. However, Brad Bird liked it so much he was "determined" to include it in the sequel.
• Release Date Change: Was originally set to be released on June 21, 2019, but got pushed up to June 15, 2018 instead, swapping release dates with Toy Story 4.
• Role Reprise:
  • With the exception of Spencer Fox (Dash) who aged out of the role and Bud Luckey (Agent Rick Dicker) who retired from acting in 2014, all of the original voice actors and actresses for the Parr family and several major supporting cast members return as their respective characters. This is impressive given how long the production gap was.
  • In the Latin Spanish dub, most of the original voice actors also reprised their parts as the Parr family and other major characters, with the exception of Memo Aponte (Dash) who had hit puberty and Raúl Aldana (Tony) who resigned from Disney Character Voices International. Hector Lama Yazbek even voiced Rick Dicker once again despite the recast of Bud Luckey.
• Sequel Gap: It came out a rather staggering fourteen years after the original (2004 — 2018). Impressively, it's an Immediate Sequel, no less (starting right off from the same scene that ended the original film).
• Those Two Actors:
  • Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fans gets to hear Saul Goodman and Mike Ehrmantraut in a movie together. They don't share any scenes, but it is mentioned that Winston Deavor used to work under Rick Dicker, which makes for an interesting inversion of the actors' roles on Breaking Bad.
  • This is the fifth project that Phil LaMarr and Paul Eiding have both been in together after Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender and Cartoon Network's Ben 10: Omniverse, as well as Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
