Minions News Updates

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. After accidentally killing off so many of them—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without a master to serve and fall into a deep depression.

But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

The trio embarks upon an adventure that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation.

A spin-off of the hit franchise, Despicable Me, this film is about the lovable Minions who evolved from yellow single-celled organisms to beings that have only one sole purpose: to serve history's most ambitious villains. After their previous masters, T-Rex and Dracula, are destroyed, they decide to isolate themselves and start a new life in Antarctica. Due to their lack of master, Kevin and two other Minions set out to find a new one. They find themselves at a villain convention center where they compete for the right to be henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, a stylish and ambitious villain determined to dominate the world and be the first female super villain.
