With The Incredibles being not only one of the very best Pixar movies but also one of the few Pixar movies with human characters, it really makes viewers wonder about who would be cast if the movie was given a live-action reboot.
The thought of a live-action remake isn’t exactly farfetched, as Disney has been known to give their movies live-action successors. With Disney owning Pixar, and as Incredibles 2 is one of the highest-grossing Pixar movies of all time, a real-life Incredibles could very much be on the cards. If it does happen, these are the perfect actors to fill the characters’ boots and super suits.
9 Winston - Kyle Chandler
Winston is the honest, simple man who wants superheroes to return to the world and continue saving the day, but there’s a lot of naïveté to the character and he can’t even see that the villain, his own sister, is right in front of him.
There are a few different actors who could portray this well, including the actor who voices the character, Bob Odenkirk, but the best option is Kyle Chandler, as there is no actor better at playing the naive but cocky business mogul type character.
8 Evelyn - Amy Adams
The way Incredibles 2 uses villains is one of the reasons it’s the best Pixar sequel, and the very best part is Evelyn, who is fronting the whole operation and turns out to be the real Screenslaver. Though it turns out that the villain’s reasoning is suspiciously similar to Buddy’s motives in the first movie, Evelyn is fantastically menacing, and Amy Adams would be the great live-action counterpart.
As Evelyn controls her brother, who seems to be the head of everything, it’s close to the narrative of The Master. In the movie, Adams plays a character who has a cult leader wrapped around her little finger, and her role in that really shows off how well she can pull off controlling, demanding, and manipulative behavior.
7 Buddy - Charlie Day
Charlie Day and Buddy may not have the same likeness, as Buddy is overweight with long ginger hair, but they don’t necessarily need to have the same likeness for Day to be perfect for the role.
The best thing about Day is his extremely animated voice, as it can get really high when he’s excitable. And he’s just as animated physically, as he bounces around the scene no matter what he’s starring in, whether it’s Horrible Bosses or It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and he can become massively antagonistic in the latter too.
6 Dash - Jacob Tremblay
Making Dash the main character along with his sister, Violet, is one of the ideas for the next sequel, which is a great idea if it’s set in the present day, as it’d be 16 years after the first movie.
But until it gets to that point, Jacob Tremblay is best suited for a young, live-action version of Dash, as he’s currently growing into a world-class actor. And that’s clear even now, as his performances even at the age of 14 show tons of promise. Even as a young Dash, Tremblay would surely have loads of fun with it.
5 Violet - Millie Bobby Brown
Now being a similar age to Violet in the movie, Millie Bobby Brown is possibly the only teenager working today who could carry such an important role in the movie.
She was already a great actress at 11 years old, and she has only honed her craft since. With Violet being a troubled teen whose parents treat her younger than she is, having a younger brother who grinds her gears and being completely misunderstood, it sounds unmistakably similar to one of Millie Bobby Brown's other famous roles.
4 Edna - Danny DeVito
Edna is one of the reasons Incredibles is a great animated superhero movie. She elevates the movies tenfold even though she’s only in one scene for each movie. Everything about her is ingenious, as her height hilariously contrasts with how demanding she is, and her unique voice and the way she prolongs words is brilliant. Strangely enough, there’s only one person in the world who can perfect this in a live-action reboot, and that’s Danny DeVito.
Being part of the cast of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, there’s an incredible episode in which his character of Frank impersonates an art critic, which is eerily similar to Edna Mode and just as hilarious.
3 Frozone - Anthony Mackie
Though it may remind audiences of The Falcon from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are very few actors who have the same kind of lean physicality and great comedic timing as Anthony Mackie.
There was once a time when Frozone’s voice actor, Samuel L. Jackson, could have been the live-action counterpart himself, but given that he’s well into his 70s at this point, Mackie is the best option to don the blue and white outfit.
2 Mr. Incredible - Jesse Plemons
Jesse Plemons has been picking up great supporting roles ever since Breaking Bad ended, including roles in The Irishman, Vice, and the aforementioned The Master, but he deserves a lead role in a huge movie, and there’s no better role for him than Mr. Incredible.
Plemons has played the depressed, down-on-his-luck character so many times in the past, and sometimes in a comedic way too. There’s nothing funnier than imagining Jesse Plemons in the role of Mr. Incredible trying to babysit his three mischievous children.
1 Elastigirl - Anne Hathaway
Shifting the focus onto Helen is one of the things the sequel got right, as she not only has much more interesting powers than Mr. Incredible, but she’s more entertaining on the battleground too, just as Mr. Incredible is more interesting at home with the kids.
And that’s why Anne Hathaway, one of the greatest actresses of the 21st century, is perfect in every way. Being an Oscar-winning actress, she can clearly hold her own in the dramatic scenes, she’s proved time and time again that she’s got great comedy chops, and if The Dark Knight Rises got anything right, it was casting Hathaway as Catwoman.
