Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures’ worldwide blockbuster Despicable Me introduced audiences around the globe to the super villain Gru and his mischievous Minions.
After becoming father to orphans Margo, Edith and Agnes, Gru ultimately gave up his life of crime and turned from Super Bad to Super Dad.
In Despicable Me 2, Gru was recruited by top agent Lucy to join the Anti-Villain League (AVL).
Gru thought romance was out of his reach until he fell hard for his super spy partner, now wife, Lucy.
In June 2017, Gru, Lucy and the girls return for a globe hopping adventure featuring new characters and some big surprises.
There is a new super villain on the scene whose exploits causes Lucy and Gru to lose their jobs.
The Minions, who are desperate for a life of crime, decide to leave Gru and go off in search of a new Big Boss.
We also discover Gru has a twin brother in the shape of Dru – fantastically wealthy, charming and sophisticated and with a head of fabulous golden hair.
Despicable Me 3 promises audiences plenty of new story, new characters, new plot twists and Despicable Me sibling rivalry and all of this delivered with Illumination’s trade mark sweet and subversive style of comedy.
