The Incredibles 2 will see a new era of superheroes emerge in the wake of the U.S. government banning them 15 years ago and the recent defeat of Syndrome. One of them especially has a soft spot in their heart for Elastigril. Voiced by Sophia Bush, Void has the ability to create portals and move objects across vast distances almost instantly.
Speaking to LRM, Brad Bird revealed the inspiration behind the character.
"There’s a character named Void who is a new superhero for one of these. She admires Helen and is kind of a Helen groupie and I described her to the animators as “we had this dog that was this very big powerful dog and it only had two settings and one was, in your face love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, and when you said finally get off, it was I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry” and then you go, “Oh, it’s okay.” “Oh, love me, love me, love me.” She’s a little bit like that, where she’s always leaning in a little too much and is a little too ready to ask you ten million questions and it’s a fun character."
The Incredibles 2 opens in U.S. theaters on June 15.
