The Minions are back! The adorable yellow creatures, which we first met in Despicable Me, are back for another movie in the Minions film series called Minions: The Rise of Gru. On Dec. 16, nearly two years after the first trailer for the movie debuted, Illumination released a brand-new teaser for the film featuring a Minion named Otto that officially shares the long-awaited Minions: The Rise of Gru release date: July 1, 2022.
The first glimpse of the movie, which was pushed to 2022 due to the pandemic, was in the form of a teaser trailer that debuted during the 2020 Super Bowl [1], then three days later, a nearly three-minute trailer full of laughs.
According to the first teaser's description on YouTube, Minions: The Rise of Gru is "the untold story of one 12-year-old's dream to become the world's greatest supervillain," which obviously refers to a young Gru (voiced by Steve Carell [2]). See the new teaser for the film above, and the full official trailer and first teaser below, while we eagerly await its premiere on July 1, 2022.
