Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)

[Himmel]

Universal and Illumination have set on a title for the sequel to their hit 2015 animated film Minions, itself a spinoff of the Despicable Me franchise. The latest film, now titled Minions: The Rise of Gru, had already set a July 3, 2020 release date.

The title suggests the plot could be an origin story of sorts involving Gru, the Steve Carell-voiced supervillian who has anchored the franchise since the start. Gru appeared as a young boy who eventually plays a big part in the machinations of Minions, which served as an origin story for the little yellow henchmen. No plot or casting details for the sequel have been confirmed yet.

The first Minions was released July 10, 2015 and grossed $1.16 billion, becoming first pic in the franchise to top that milestone (2017’s Despicable Me 3 also got there). Deadline’s 2015 Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament pegged Minions‘ profit at $502 million.

I like this franchise as well, but that was a bad trailer.

[Dragon78]

Looks entertaining enough, I will go see it.

[kylor]

Very cool. Looking forward to this one.

Will definitely check this out, I liked Minions more than Despicable Me 2 and 3. Honestly though, I feel like Despicable Me: The Rise of Gru would be a more fitting title judging by the trailer.

[Jim Pez]

I love these movies. Can't wait to see this.

I agree in the sense that the first Minions was the story of three specific Minions on a quest to find a villain, so that was entirely their film. It doesn’t look like those three are gonna be the main Minions again in this movie.

On a side note, I hope Mel the Minion from Despicable Me 3 is in this cause in that movie they made it sound like he was the closest Minion to Gru so it’d be weird in this movie if he doesn’t appear whatsoever or just with the rest of the Minions apart of the crowd.

[Dragon78]

I like the Despicable Me movies a lot better then Minions but still enjoyed it.

[rooboy78]

I really enjoyed all three Despicable Me movies but Minions not so much. This definitely looks better though.

They'll be delayed too. I think this is going to last much longer than some people are expecting.

Dr. Fauci (aka the only person you can trust in the daily White House briefings) has said he doesn’t think this will be over before August and we probably won’t see a peak in cases till May.

Tenet's next.
