Everything to know about Minions 3
The Minions films are the prequel to the Despicable Me films, and provide an interesting picture of the origin story of the Minions and Gru. The last film of the series Minions: The Rise of Gru was released in 2022, and expanded upon the Minions' journey as they set out to find a worthy supervillain to serve.
The story was set in the 1970s, when the minions were helping a young and amateur Gru become a pro-supervillain. However, they end up locking horns with a supervillain team called the Vicious 6.
Steve Carell, Michele Yeoh, Taraji P Henson, and Russell Brand, were some of the actors who gave their voices to the iconic characters in the films. Additionally, Pierre Coffin voiced the Minions.
There is no information about the story of Minions 3, but considering the continuity of the film series, it will probably serve as a prequel to the Despicable Me films. The film may also pick up the story from where the last one left off.
It can delve deeper into Gru's coming of age and how he and the Minions developed their hi-tech gadgets and became the supervillains and super accomplices.
Minions 3 will be released in theatres on June 30, 2027. However, viewers can watch the shenanigans of the Minions in Despicable Me 4, which is currently playing in theaters worldwide.
Minions and Minions 2 are available for streaming on Netflix, Apple TV, and Prime Video.
