A new poster forDespicable Me 4has been released byIllumination, teasing this summer’s sequel and how it will change the family dynamic. After years of attempting to become the greatest villain in history, Gru (Steve Carell) will continue to raise his children alongside Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) and the Minions. But the new sequel will introduce a new member of the family in Gru Jr., the baby the couple had between the events ofDespicable Me 3and this movie. And while there’s nothing wrong with Gru as a parent, the baby doesn’t seem to like him at all, which could complicate the villain’s next mission.
The new poster forDespicable Me 4shows Gru carrying his baby, with one of his loyal Minions by his side. The crew looks ready to take on their next challenge, and when it comes to this sequel’s antagonists, Gru’s family will need all the help they can get. Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and Valentina (Sofia Vergara) are a very dangerous couple, and they’re ready to do whatever it takes to accomplish their evil goals. Even if Gru has taken down threats such as Vector (Jason Segel) and El Macho (Benjamin Bratt) before, he’s never faced someone as unpredictable as the new antagonists, setting the stage for their confrontation inDespicable Me 4.
And whileDespicable Me 4will introduce Gru Jr. to the family, he’ll have to share the spotlight with Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Agnes (Madison Polan) and Edith (Dana Gaier), as the siblings discover their new roles as Gru Jr.’s older sisters. Gru’s daughters have proven time and time again that they’re not afraid of their father’s lifestyle, playing their part in taking down powerful villains when necessary. InDespicable Me 4, the girls will have to join the action once again, as Maxime Le Mal and Valentina come up with a surprising evil plan. This summer, one of the most successful animated franchises in history returns to the big screen.
