Powermaker

Powermaker is an upcoming 2025 American computer-animated superhero comedy film directed by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by The Walt Disney Company, it is the 31st film produced by the studio, and is produced by Bird and John Walker, from a screenplay by Lord, Miller, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and from a story by Bird, Lord and Miller. The film stars Ben Schwartz, Zachary Levi, J.K. Simmons, Awkwafina, Jeff Bennett, Andy Samberg, Elizabeth Olsen, and Justin Theroux. 
The film is heavily inspired by Pixar's The Incredibles, which also involved Bird, Walker, and Schaffer. The film is a collaboration between well-known director duos Anthony Russo and Joe Russo and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. They intended the film to be similar to The Incredibles while at the same time keeping a "style and story" that that film did not explore too much. The cast signed on in June 2024. 
Powermaker was released in theaters on June 15, 2025. It was a box office success, grossing $939 million against a budget of $200 million, resulting in a profit of $739 million for Disney and Pixar. It received positive reviews, who praised it's distinction from The Incredibles while still keeping the same charm, and also praised it's original story, voice cast, characters, humor, and action sequences, with critics drewing comparisons with Megamind, Shazam!, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sky High, and more.
