Minions summon a monster in the trailer for 'Minions 3'.

The premiere of the first trailer for the new animated film about the Minions has taken place.

During the NFL Final (Super Bowl) broadcast, Universal Pictures unveiled the long-awaited first trailer for the animated film 'Minions 3', which promises to be the next vibrant chapter in the popular franchise.

Plot and Trailer
Director Pierre Coffin has shown that in the new story, the Minions once again find themselves at the center of chaos. In the trailer, the characters accidentally summon monsters that were intended for use in their own film shoot. This leads to the comical, absurd, and spectacular consequences characteristic of all installments of the franchise.

According to insider information, the film's plot will include new adventures of the Minions, their attempts to cope with unpredictable events, and a continuation of the traditional themes of friendship, humor, and the incredible energy that makes these characters recognizable worldwide.

Creators' Comments
In a 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, timed to the release of 'Despicable Me 4', director of the previous installment Chris Renaud spoke about plans for the franchise's development:

"Discussions about the future development are always ongoing: what we can do and where we can take our characters. Nothing concrete at the moment, especially considering I just finished this film. But we are constantly discussing: 'Where else can they go? What can we change? How do we keep everything exciting and fresh?' We'll see what happens."

History and Franchise
The Minions first appeared in 2010 as the loyal henchmen of former supervillain Gru in the film 'Despicable Me'. Their popularity grew rapidly, and the characters became an independent part of the franchise. They were last seen on the big screen in 'Despicable Me 4' in 2024, after which the studio actively planned new projects, including separate feature-length stories about the Minions.

Release Date
The premiere of 'Minions 3' is scheduled for July 1, 2026, in theaters. The film promises to be even more grand than its predecessors, with vibrant visual effects, comedic situations, and adventures designed for both children and adult audiences.
