Universal debuts a new teaser for the long-awaited Minions: The Rise of Gru ahead of its premiere this summer. The next installment in the Despicable Me franchise takes things back to where it all began for aspiring villain Gru (Steve Carell). Picking up from where the $1.16 billion-grossing Minions left off, The Rise of Gru finds the yellow-skinned creatures finally aligned with Gru as the young bad guy plots to join a supervillain group known as the Vicious 6. When he's shunned by the fearsome villains, Gru steals a priceless artifact from them, but everything goes sideways when said artifact is promptly lost by one of the Minions.
Minions: The Rise of Gru has been a long time coming for Universal. It was supposed to premiere in July 2020 and dominate the summer movie season. However, the coronavirus pandemic forced Universal to delay Minions 2 by a year. Then, when moviegoing conditions were still questionable, the studio once again pushed it back to July 2022. Universal has been quiet about this movie for a bit, but that's looking to change. Now with its release perhaps finally on the horizon, new Minions 2 footage has arrived.
Universal has finally released a new Minions: The Rise of Gru trailer, just about three months before it is set to debut in theaters. Check it out below.
