== Plot ==
Before the events of the first movie, Rick Dicker stopped by old the Incredibles residence and reminded Bob and Helen that radioactive-powered Captain Electron went rogue. Rick explained that Captain Electron turned against the government and made a lot of protestors sick from radiation. Captain Electron believed he would bring supers back by being a "villain."
Leaving off after defeating Screenslaver, the Parr family intercept robbers who have disturbed the peace. Throughout the pursuit, they did catch the robbers with the police, but were shocked by the appearance of Captain Electron, who now calls himself Tsar Positron. He killed the robbers, not caring about the loot they might have taken. They and the police fought Positron despite reason, and despite Frozone reinforcing the family, the parents and Frozone were no match. Tsar Positron then kills Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl and absorbed their powers, causing the children to flee with Frozone. Tsar Positron catches up but is stopped by the wannabe supers who all died from Tsar Positron, leaving Voyd as the sole survivor. 
While Frozone took custody of the kids after the parents' deaths, Tsar Positron returned to the Soviet Union, but his fellow supers were horrified by what he did. He then defeated them all and poisoned Khruschev after learning the latter had a bounty on him. He then destroys Nomanisan Island and DevTech's headquarters as his associates, Syndrome and Screenslaver, failed him. He then returns to the United States, establishing a loyalist group and eliminating competitors like the Underminer.
It was now 1984, Violet married Tony Ridinger, Dash is full-grown, and Jack-Jack is working as an electrician and plumber. Tsar Positron had a collection of skulls and urns, with notable skulls from Syndrome and Evelyn Deavor for failing him. He had killed every super into near extinction, leaving some survivors into hiding. Tsar Positron adds Helen and Bob's skulls next to them while soldiers brought in Frozone. Tsar Positron interrogates Frozone, and provided him a torturous history of supers, who were often used for war, treated like witches, and almost exterminated during the world wars. When Frozone refused to talk despite that, Tsar Positron locked him in a tube of green radioactive water that froze on him.
The Incredibles kids then encounters Voyd, but also meets Sizer and FrankenAnimal, survivors of Tsar Positron's wrath. After seeing some of Tsar Positron's men rob a Buy n' Large store, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack went to stop them, where they discovered new abilities they never used before. They had overheard a soldier talking about Frozone being captured at Tsar Positron's base, but they required help from Edna, whose location was disclosed after she revealed the base's location. The trio left, but Tsar Positron caught Edna before turning her into a giant radioactive monster. The trio freed Frozone, but the latter had terminal cancer from his imprisonment. Tsar Positron sends Edna after them, the latter then killed Frozone. Violet felt that a super would never turn evil, but her discovery about Tsar Positron in a database was not what they expected.
Tsar Positron was Sergei Romanov from Stalingrad, but the Joe-1 dropped in Kazakhstan, and he suffered fallout from the wind, but he gained powers as a result. He was 10 at the time but became the youngest super who gained powers. Master Slavic, his master, had shown him how to use his powers and personally met Stalin as he followed Soviet ideology. However, the public showed negative reception of supers because of lawsuits, so he adopted the "villain" persona, an evil super. When the Tsar Bomba dropped in 1961, he absorbed most of its power from the cloud and charred land. He helped out Syndrome and Evelyn Deavor fulfill their goals, but they had failed him. Even when supers were reinstated, he remained a villain.
During a gambling game, his men had discovered antimatter, where he inserted the new tube into his body, where it enhanced his powers further and grants him antimatter powers. Tony and Violet fought over their missing child, Emma, and Dash and Jack-Jack help Violet get her back. They fought through the streets of New Urbem, where Emma was last seen. The trio fought Tsar Positron's men and found Emma turned into antimatter and was loyal to their archnemesis. When Tsar Positron showed up and brought Edna and Winston, they fled, or they vanished from Tsar Positron's antimatter power. Tsar Positron rode his motorcycle before they reached the coast, and he rammed Violet's bubble. He fought the children throughout the city, later creating antimatter doppelgangers of their parents, Frozone, and other supers they knew he had killed. When Tsar Positron was about to win, Master Slavic betrays him. Tsar Positron showed every power he absorbed from other supers, killing the three kids' three mentors, but was stopped when Edna and Winston turned against him. Edna, Winston, and Emma would return to their old forms. 
When Tsar Positron was defeated, his powers were violently ejected from him, and he remarked killing every single superhero before the family before Jack-Jack brutally blunts him to death. Despite Tsar Positron's actions, they buried him in pure dirt at a hill and planted a tree, which made it grew extremely quickly. The kids and Emma held a funeral for all supers that died from Tsar Positron's actions, including Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, and Master Slavic. Flashing to the present day, an older Emma visited the tree, gave some negative remarks, and left. As she left, Tsar Positron's helmet turns on.

== Production ==
=== Development ===
Since filming for Incredibles 2 wrapped, Brad Bird had decided to shift into other projects as he felt the Incredibles franchise ended how it is, even after he wrapped up Auntie Edna. He was asked a question, one that made him start the idea. The question was, "What if a super was evil?" Brad had dug into his own movies he directed, and found that none of the supers were doing something evil. He pitched the idea that since the 60s took place during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, he decided to call most of his old crew and begin filming.
=== Writing ===
As Pixar was heavily becoming dependent on independent films, the other developers of Incredibles 84 were pessimistic about not earning enough from their budget. Brad Bird insists he and his team would do it, as long as they avoided the tropes of superhero films like the last two movies. Brad then pitched a couple ideas from the second movie and put the Incredibles children as the main characters.
As with the first and second Incredibles movies, Brad wanted to start with a backstory and then continue off where the second movie left off. However, since the movie would take place in 1984, he would have to adapt to the concept of what the kids do as adults. However, he also kept Jack-Jack's various powers, even allowing him to harness them and use them in multiple ways. The film was produced with $215 million in a budget, which John Walker joked that an increasing chain was happening.
=== Casting ===
In October 2025, Pixar announced that Spencer Fox, the actor for Dash in the first Incredibles movie, would return as an adult Dash. In addition, they announced that Sarah Vowell, Eli Fucile, and Michael Bird would return as the adult versions and 60s versions of their respective characters. To keep up with the continuity, Craig T, Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sophia Bush would return. 
In December 2025, Tom Hardy, along with Awkwafina and Kurt Russell, had joined the new cast as announced by Pixar.
=== Animation ===
The film's design still is CGI as it is Pixar standards, though Brad also wanted to include a more abstract approach. The design of Tsar Positron came from other Disney villains, including an in-show villain, Dr. Calico from Bolt. The newly enhanced powers of the Incredibles kids came with age, according to Walker, and that they would make enhancing effects.
== Music ==
Michael Giacchino would return once more to compose music for Incredibles 84. He started work around February 2026, and he released the album in December 2026. In addition to his new music, he thought of the new vocalized songs for Invisishield, Mr. Lightspeed, and SuperMutant, the new identities of Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack respectively.
== Reception ==
=== Box office ===
Incredibles 84 was first released in September 4th, 2027, and it had $99.8 million opening weekend, which was inferior to the Incredibles 2 opening weekend. It's opening weekend also placed it 10th in 2027. Regardless, it made $2,104,539,350 overall worldwide, over 900 million more than its predecessor. 
=== Critical Response ===
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 95% based on 210 reviews, with a rating of 8.1/10.
