BTS X Despicable Me 4 X Pharrell Williams is speculated to release in July 2024

Speculations about the collaboration date back to a 2022 Rolling Stone interview featuring BTS leader RM and Pharrell Williams. During the interview, both artists hinted at a potential collaboration, though nothing was officially confirmed. Pharrell had mentioned:

"It's a song from my album that the group sang, and it’s amazing, and I’m super grateful."

Despite this hint, no official music release followed. Fans are speculating Despicable Me 4 might finally bring the collaboration they've been eagerly awaiting. In Los Angeles, posters featuring black, yellow, and purple hearts, along with the letters "BTS DM4" were spotted.

Fans understood the word "Bangtan" in an international context to refer to the K-pop group. The bottom part of the poster even read:

"Despicable Me 4 ⓒ 2024 Universal City Studios LLC. ⓒ BIGHIT MUSIC & HYBE. All Rights Reserved."

Suggesting an official announcement about the K-pop group's involvement in the project.

According to reports, the fourth movie was already in the works since 2017, but it was officially confirmed in February 2022, when BTS was still musically active as a group. This hints more at the possibility that Pharrell Williams might have asked the septet to work on the film's OST with him. Pharrell had previously released his worldwide popular song, Happy for the movie's second part.

Despicable Me 4 will star the likes of Kristen Wiig, Sofía Vergara, Steve Coogan, Steve Carell, Chloe Finman, etc.
