The term “villain” is something that can always be loosely applied to anybody appearing in the Despicable Me franchise.
Despicable Me 3 is set for theatrical release on June 30th, 2017.
In saying that, as franchises such as this progress they always risk running out of steam and suffering from viewer fatigue.
It’s going to be interesting to see exactly how the movie’s creators bring another fully-fleshed out, multi-dimensional character to the big screen and whether or not they’re up to the challenge.
