What can we expect from the new Despicable Me movie?
We can expect a lot from the new movie. The old cast is returning to reprise their roles. The main villains are Gru, Lucy, and Margo. God is the main villain, a super-genius who has a weakness for girls and Lucy is his nemesis.
The movie will start due to its release date of 2022. But as we all know that it’s still far from now. It’s going to take around 2 or 3 years to complete. Where are all these time’s going to pass? We can expect that in 2020 we’ll get some trailer or teaser for it. So, with patience,, we have to wait till the release day arrives because now it’s just a date in our minds!
What are the Minions up to in Despicable Me 4?
As we all know that the Minions are in their very own movie, they are getting ready to release this summer. We don’t have any details about it yet, but I’m sure it will be a huge hit. We don’t know when in the future is going to happen but according to the creators of the franchise, Gru’s baby will make an appearance in Despicable Me 4. In one of the Despicable Me episodes named “Despicable Baby”, Gru found out that he has a daughter which resembles his old wife.
Who is returning for the fourth installment of the franchise?
We all know that Steve Carell is returning along with Kristen Wigg, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, Nev Scharrel,, and Pierre Coffin to reprise their roles. The cast will be expanded with the addition of new generation actors as Lucy’s kids.
So far we don’t know about anyone else returning for this franchise. The actor who voiced “Minion” in the Despicable Me series, David Horton passed away in October last year. So it’s not confirmed if he will return to voice Minion or someone else will voice him in Despicable Me 4?
What is God up to now that he’s a father of three girls?
One of the critics has some questions that after Lucy and Gru got married, they had three daughters. So what will God do now? After the success of Despicable Me 3, Gru decided to retire and spend time with his daughters. But his retirement was short-lived as he was immediately pulled back into the mischief by Lucy who left to join an Arctic expedition.
Then he was contacted by a villain who told him about a famous scientist whom he must kidnap to gain control over the world’s energy supply. God accepted this mission and kidnapped Silas Ramsbottom, a good scientist from England.
