In the first Despicable Me movie in seven years, Gru, the world’s favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain League-agent, returns for an exhilarating new chapter of Minions mayhem. Following the phenomenal success of Minions: The Rise of Gru in 2022, which grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide, the franchise continues to break records and captivate audiences globally.
Gru (voiced by Oscar® nominee Steve Carell), Lucy (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig), and their daughters—Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and Agnes (Madison Polan)—welcome a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who is set on creating chaos for his dad. Gru faces off against a new villain, Maxime Le Mal (Emmy winner Will Ferrell), and his femme fatale partner Valentina (Emmy nominee Sofia Vergara), forcing the family to embark on a thrilling adventure.
The film boasts an impressive lineup of fresh characters voiced by talented actors such as Joey King, Emmy winner Stephen Colbert, and Chloe Fineman. Pierre Coffin returns as the iconic voice of the Minions, while Oscar® nominee Steve Coogan reprises his role as Silas Ramsbottom. Directed by Chris Renaud and co-directed by Patrick Delage, Despicable Me 4 is produced by Illumination’s founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and Brett Hoffman. The screenplay, written by Emmy-winning creator Mike White and veteran writer Ken Daurio, promises a blend of non-stop action and Illumination’s signature subversive humor.
Adding to the excitement, some of the Minionese spoken by the minions has been specially Arabized, offering a delightful twist for regional viewers. This cultural fusion is sure to resonate deeply, making the film an unmissable event for fans of all ages.
Despicable Me 4 will hit theatres across the Middle East on 4th July. Don’t miss the chance to experience this bold new era of Minions mayhem!
