The world’s favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain-League-agent, Gru, returns for a bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination’s Despicable Me 4. Gru, Lucy and their girls welcome a new member to the family — Gru Jr. — who is intent on tormenting his dad, as a new nemesis shows up and forces the family to go on the run. This latest blockbuster chapter in the biggest global animated franchise in history is packed with nonstop action, filled with Illumination’s signature subversive humor, and new dynamics with the introduction of a questionably charming team — The Mega Minions!
Directed by Chris Renaud and co-directed by Patrick Delage, the film is written by Mike White and Ken Daurio, produced by Illumination chief Chris Meledandri and Brett Hoffman, and features original music and songs by Pharrell Williams.
Despicable Me 4 opened in U.S. theaters on July 3 and has since grossed $954 million worldwide, helping the Despicable Me + Minions franchise become the first animated film series to surpass $5 billion in global box office.
