^^ Not going to happen, as Disney/Pixar normally does not do big time skips in sequels (aside from the Toy Story franchise, as they're the only ones who can get away with that, mostly because it's set in real time where as the Incredibles is set in the 60s (or 70s if you catch the little scene where Bob discovers his wife was found on Operation: Kronos' database where her last activity was in 1955.)

The biggest time skip a sequel mostly gets is usually around 4 years (Cars 2 was set 4 years after Cars due to Lightning winning 4 straight Piston Cups (which thereby gave the fans a hint that it was a 4 year gap), and Monsters University was set 4 years before the events of the 1st Monsters film), the smallest time skip as of right now is Finding Dory (6 months to a full year after Nemo, and who says that the Incredibles II will get a big time skip, what if Bird decides to stick with the designs from the 1st film and go small with the time skip similar to Dory?)

It's looking more and more likely the 2nd film will pick up right where the 1st film ended and go from there (as it's focusing on the Family of Superheros story according to Andrew Stanton which is pretty much what the Family Dynamic is and Bird wants to know how to continue the story from there), if you want a time skip focused sequel there's fan fiction for that.

Also Finding Dory has proven that you can recast certain characters that haven't aged from a prevoius with new voices (Nemo being a huge example with Alexander Gould being replaced by newcomer Hayden Rolence), so it's obivous the main family will retain their looks going forward, just recast Dash with a new voice actor (whether it's Raymond Ochoa who was the voice of Arlo from The Good Dinosaur (he also voiced Dash in Disney Infinity, but he's getting quite old himself now just approaching his teen years) or possibly Nemo's new voice actor Hayden Rolence), Sarah Vowell has proven in the Disney Infinity series that she can still voice Violet despite her being near 50 years of age (she'll be nearly 50 years old when the sequel opens in theaters) just as Holly Hunter and Craig T. Nelson can still voice the parents.

Bird's got this let him do his stuff, while all we do is wait and see what he has up his sleeves, time skip or not (I'm not bashing anyone who wants a time skip, but I just think picking up right where the 1st film ended and going from there could set up future stories if the 2nd film becomes a huge hit, since that's really the goal), we'll all see this film in some form whether we get one or not.

Also Bomb Voyage is waiting for his payoff (I think everyone wants to see this French villain brought to justice after the incident he accidently caused led the Supers being banned in the 1st place left a sour taste in our mouths), and sticking within the 15 year gap that the 1st film set up while introducing new villains and characters is the way to go (seeing the inside of Violet's school along with her dealing with the pressure of leaving to do superhero work in the middle of class while also going on a date with Tony would make for some very powerful character developement, the same goes for Dash and would fit in well with the Family Dynamic arc that Bird's going with).

And for those of the fans who want Syndrome back in some form (but stays dead), bring in Mezmerella from the comics (who can be retconned into being a sister for him, since they do look alike a bit and can even pass off as a sibling to him seeking revenge, using the hypnotisting gear she has could weave into that story pretty well (forcing to fight your own family under mind control would be pretty dramatic.)
