Despicable Me 5
November 3, 2025


Gru, now semi-retired and trying to enjoy a quieter life with Lucy and their growing family (yes, little Gru Jr. is already running around the house!), is forced back into the Anti-Villain League when they discover that Z-Phantom is targeting former villains and stealing their technology—including Gru’s old gear!
The story unfolds across several continents: from high-speed chases in Tokyo to an epic Minion-led mission in the catacombs of Paris. Z-Phantom’s goal? To use a Quantum Memory Rewriter to erase the world’s collective memory of all villains… starting with Gru.
To stop him, Gru must team up with unlikely allies: his long-lost cousin in Italy, Vittorio Gruzzi, and a reformed Vector. Meanwhile, the Minions star in a hilarious subplot, forming a secret resistance called “The Yellow Resistance,” equipped with wacky costumes and banana-based gadgets.
With a budget of $100 million, Despicable Me 5 aims to gross over $800 million worldwide, cementing the franchise as the undisputed queen of animated comedy. Full of laughs, cuteness, and minion mayhem, this installment brings us Gru at his best.
