Minions & Monsters (2026)
Written by Brian Lynch and Pierre Coffin
Directed by Pierre Coffin
Produced by Chris Meledandri and Bill Ryan
Executive Producer: Brian Lynch
After the enormous success of Despicable Me 4 in 2024, Illumination is bringing the Minions back for another wildly chaotic adventure in Minions & Monsters — a brand-new story filled with outrageous comedy, unexpected creatures, and nonstop mayhem.
The film follows the Minions as they chase fame in Hollywood and accidentally trigger complete global disaster along the way. What begins as their dream of becoming movie stars quickly turns into total chaos after monsters are unleashed across the world, forcing the Minions to clean up the mess they created before it’s too late.
Academy Award® nominee Pierre Coffin returns to direct the film after previously leading the original Despicable Me movies and the first Minions feature. Coffin also continues his long-running role as the voice behind the Minions themselves. The screenplay was developed by Brian Lynch and Pierre Coffin, with production led by Illumination founder Chris Meledandri alongside Bill Ryan.
Since first appearing on screen in 2010, the Minions have grown into one of the most recognizable animated franchises ever created. Together, the Despicable Me and Minions films have earned more than $5.6 billion worldwide and continue to attract fans across generations.
Minions and Monsters comes out on 25 June 2026 in Australia
