Gru’s family has grown, and is forced into hiding, in the first official trailer for Despicable Me 4.
Wild to think it’s been seven years since the last Despicable Me movie arrived. While last year brought a Minions sequel (which prominently featured a young Gru), this time audiences are back with the whole family for a new adventure…which includes a new baby!
These movies are always so fun, and tend to be way better than they have any right to be. Filled with solid humor and tons of heart, I’m definitely ready to see what Gru and the “goyles” get up to next with their new baby brother in tow.
Following the 2022 summer blockbuster phenomenon of Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru, which earned almost $1 billion worldwide, the biggest global animated franchise in history now begins a new chapter as Gru (Oscar®nominee Steve Carrell) and Lucy (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig) and their girls —Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Madison Polan)—welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad.
Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal (Emmy winner Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (Emmy nominee Sofia Vergara), and the family is forced to go on the run.
The film features fresh new characters voiced by Joey King (Bullet Train), Emmy winner Stephen Colbert (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and Chloe Fineman (Saturday Night Live). Pierre Coffin returns as the iconic voice of the Minions and Oscar® nominee Steve Coogan returns as Silas Ramsbottom.
Despicable Me 4 hits theaters on July 3, 2024.
