Illumination Entertainment has revealed the official title for Minions 2, the follow-up to the 2015 prequel to the very popular Despicable Me franchise.
The studio has confirmed that the sequel will be called Minions: The Rise of Gru and they’ve also reaffirmed that the animated flick will debut in theaters next summer.
Per an announcement from Universal and Illumination, Minions 2 will hit theaters on July 3, 2020.
However, the title suggests heavily that Steve Carell’s villain from the Despicable Me movies, whom the Minions proudly serve, will be making his return.
