Samuel L Jackson has revealed that he expects to return for The Incredibles 2, Digital Spy said.

Pixar recently announced that a follow-up to the 2004 animated comedy is in the works. Speaking to Digital Spy, Jackson said that his character Frozone is likely to appear.

"Every time I run into Brad [Bird, director] he always tells me Frozone is part of what's going on, so I have to believe that," he said.

"I guess they could be the Incredibles without Frozone, but I think Frozone would be a wonderful addition to what's already there."

He added: "I'm just looking forward to seeing what Jack-Jack turned into."

Frozone - real name Lucius Best - is an old friend of the Parr family, and was best man at Bob and Helen's wedding. He has the power to freeze water and moisture in the air.

Samuel L Jackson reprises his role of Nick Fury in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which was released in the UK on March 26 and hits screens in the U.S. on April 4.
