The minions’ hijinks return, this time with a supernatural blend. Trailer for Illumination and Universal Studio’s “Minions & Monsters” dropped during the busy traffic of Super Bowl, promising a fun, familiar chaos firmly rooted in the yellow critters’ brand of gibberish humor. See the trailer below!
Set to BLACKPINK’s “How You Like That”, the trailer offers glimpses of the minions – sans Kevin, Bob and Stuart, curiously – as they take a swing at a new career in the movie business. As it always does, it doesn’t take long before things go sideways, with the minions inadvertently unleashing monsters into the world, forcing them to band together to save the planet from the mayhem they just created.
Minions & Monsters is directed by Academy Award nominee Pierre Coffin, a director of the first three Despicable Me films and the first Minions film. Coffin has also provided the voice for the Minions since their film debut in 2010. The film is written by Brian Lynch (Minions, The Secret Life of Pets films) and Pierre Coffin and is produced by Illumination’s Academy Award-nominated founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and by Bill Ryan (executive producer, The Super Mario Bros. Movie). The executive producer is Brian Lynch.
The next installment of the massively beloved “Despicable Me” spinoff arrives in theaters worldwide beginning July 1, 2026.
