What will happen in Despicable Me 4?

Since these new Minions in LEGO’s latest Despicable Me 4 Sets it leads to the question of how they will get into the story.

One idea is that they may be new characters working under the direction of Maxime Le Mal, who seeks revenge on Gru, which could result in them mutating or being experimented on in other ways.

They could also be the long-lost Minion brothers that fans know and love, who were locked away or kept out of sight for years before reappearing in this film.

Either way, they'll bring a new dynamic to this long-running franchise as Gru hopes to protect his family while also getting the newest member to like him as a father.


Despicable Me 4 will be in theaters on July 3rd.
