Overview
- Multiple outlets cite the Wall Street Journal as reporting that a third Monsters, Inc. feature is in early development with no announced director, cast, plot, or release window.
- Disney/Pixar declined to confirm the WSJ-sourced details, and none of the reported projects or dates are official.
- The WSJ report also points to Incredibles 3 targeting 2028 and Coco 2 targeting 2029, described as planning goals rather than firm dates.
- Coverage notes potential synergy with Disney Parks, where a Monstropolis land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is under construction with an opening eyed for 2027–2028.
- The reported move fits a broader strategy to lean on established IP after mixed results for originals, as Inside Out 2 delivered a major box-office rebound and Hoppers is projected to open around $35–$40 million domestically.
