ABOUT DESPICABLE ME 4
In the first Despicable Me movie in seven years, Gru, the world’s favourite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain League-agent, returns for an exciting, bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination’s Despicable Me 4.
Following the 2022 summer blockbuster phenomenon of Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru, which earned almost $1 billion worldwide, the biggest global animated franchise in history now begins a new chapter. Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) and Lucy (Oscar® nominee Kristen Wiig) and their girls Margo (Miranda Cosgrove). Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Madison Polan) welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad.
NEW NEMESIS
Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal (Emmy winner Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (Emmy nominee Sofia Vergara). And the family is forced to go on the run.
NEW AND RETURNING VOICES
The film features fresh new characters voiced by Joey King (Bullet Train). Emmy winner Stephen Colbert (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert). And Chloe Fineman (Saturday Night Live). Pierre Coffin returns as the iconic voice of the Minions. And Oscar® nominee Steve Coogan returns as Silas Ramsbottom.
Packed with non-stop action and filled with Illumination’s signature subversive humour. The film is directed by Chris Renaud, an Oscar® nominee and co-creator of the Minions (known for Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets). And produced by the visionary founder and CEO of Illumination, Chris Meledandri. And by Brett Hoffman (executive producer, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Minions: The Rise of Gru).
The film is co-directed by Patrick Delage (animation director Sing 2 and The Secret Life of Pets 2). And the screenplay is by the Emmy winning creator of White Lotus, Mike White. And the veteran writer of every Despicable Me film, Ken Daurio.
