Yesterday in London Holly Hunter and Samuel L Jackson attended the premiere of Disney’s latest animated picture, Incredibles 2. A long-awaited sequel to the successful 2004 flick, the film reprises the adventures of the superhero family headed by Mr Incredible and Elastigirl right after the end of the original instalment.

Incredibles 2 sees Brad Bird coming back as director and writer, as well as most of the cast including fan-favourite Samuel L Jackson as Frozone. Elastigirl now takes the lead in the fight against evil while Mr Incredible faces the daily challenges of parenthood.

We spoke with Holly Hunter – who interprets the Disney heroine – about working on this sequel which is released during the 25th anniversary of her most-acclaimed work, The Piano, and what people should expect from this new adventure.

Samuel L Jackson shared with us his thoughts about assuming the role of Frozone again, the great anticipation for the upcoming release of Glass and also his support for England during the last phase of the World Cup.
