The mischievous yellow Minions are back in Minions 3 (2026) – Rise of the Villains, the latest laugh-packed adventure from Illumination. Directed by Kyle Balda, this third installment brings even more chaos, heart, and banana-fueled comedy to fans worldwide.
Following the events of Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022), Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is now a fully-fledged supervillain. But while he’s busy expanding his empire, his loyal Minions start to feel neglected and bored. Their craving for excitement leads them into unexpected trouble.
Enter Dr. Vyktor Vile—a new, cunning supervillain and former rival of Gru. With a genius-level IQ and an army of robotic minions, Vyktor plots to eclipse Gru’s fame and plunge the world into chaos. As his influence grows, Gru finds himself on the defensive.
Sensing their master’s struggle, the Minions take charge in the only way they know—through wild and clumsy heroics. From breaking into high-tech labs to sneaking into Vyktor’s fortress, they unleash pure mayhem. But amidst the misadventures, they discover a powerful truth: their strength lies not in their antics, but in their unshakable bond with Gru and each other.
Packed with new characters, outrageous inventions, and plenty of laughs, Minions 3 delivers a fun-filled journey for fans of all ages. As the Minions rally together to defeat Vyktor Vile and restore balance, they prove once again that even the smallest creatures can make the biggest difference—especially when they work as one.
