Adding to the excitement, Enrico Casarosa, the brilliant director behind 2021’s heartwarming “Luca,” is currently working on a new project described as being “night and day” different from his previous work. The details are still under wraps, leaving fans eagerly speculating whether this could be the untitled film set for March 2026. Meanwhile, Domee Shi, celebrated for her work on “Turning Red,” is taking the reins on “Elio,” bringing her unique touch to the upcoming film.
Beyond the big screen, Docter also highlighted the growth of Pixar’s streaming presence.
