After fourteen years of waiting, at last, Disney and Pixar's family superhero film, "The Incredibles," is finally getting a sequel, coming this year in June.

In a series of tweets, Disney and Pixar revealed the new characters joining the Parr family in the new film. The announcement was not just a simple tweet either. Disney and Pixar delivered the announcements by using the art history meme created by Google Arts and Culture App.

First is Winston Deavor, a bigwig who owns a successful company and is apparently supportive of Supers coming out of their hiding. According to the movie's plot tease, "He has been a supporter of Supers returning—all he needs is a hero (or three) to help him change public perception and bring them back into the sunlight." Deavor will be voiced by actor Bob Odenkirk.

Next is Evelyn Deavor, Winston's sister and the brains behind his successful company. Apparently, there isn't a problem Evelyn can't solve. She will be voiced by actress Catherine Keener.

A new Super by the name of Voyd will also be introduced in the new Incredibles film. Voiced by Sophia Bush, Voyd is apparently obsessed with Elastigirl, and her abilities include "diverting and manipulating objects around her by creating voids that allow the objects to appear and disappear, and shift in space."

Another new cast is a foreign dignitary only known as The Ambassador, and will be voiced by actress Isabella Rossellini. Not much is known about her, aside from her favorable stance in letting all Supers return in the spotlight.

Lastly is Super Relocation Program agent Rick Dicker, voiced by Jonathan Banks. He isn't exactly new, as his character was already introduced in the first film. However, he's going to be around more in the sequel, and his major task is keeping all the identities of Supers secret. "Rick takes his job very seriously — at least until his division is shuttered, leaving the Parrs all on their own."

"The Incredibles 2" will hit theaters on June 15, 2018.
