After a seven-year hiatus, the beloved supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain League-agent, Gru, makes his triumphant return in Illumination's latest installment, "Despicable Me 4." Following the massive success of "Minions: The Rise of Gru" in the summer of 2022, which grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide, the renowned animated franchise enters a thrilling new phase.
In this exciting chapter, Gru (portrayed by Oscar® nominee Steve Carrell) and Lucy (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig), along with their daughters Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and Agnes (Madison Polan), embrace a new addition to the family: Gru Jr., determined to stir up mischief for his father.
Facing off against a fresh antagonist, Maxime Le Mal (Emmy winner Will Ferrell), and his captivating partner Valentina (Emmy nominee Sofia Vergara), the family finds themselves on the run. The film introduces captivating new characters voiced by Joey King, Emmy winner Stephen Colbert, and Chloe Fineman, while Pierre Coffin reprises his role as the Minions' iconic voice and Oscar® nominee Steve Coogan returns as Silas Ramsbottom.
Directed by co-creator of the Minions, Oscar® nominee Chris Renaud, and produced by Illumination's visionary founder and CEO Chris Meledandri alongside Brett Hoffman, "Despicable Me 4" promises relentless action and the trademark subversive humor that fans adore. Co-directed by Patrick Delage and featuring a screenplay by Emmy-winning Mike White and seasoned Despicable Me writer Ken Daurio, the film ensures an exhilarating ride for audiences worldwide.
