Release Date: 23 June 2022 Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement.
An 11-year-old boy who dreams of becoming the world's baddest supervillain.
In the film, an eleven-year-old Gru plans to become a supervillain with the help of his Minions, which leads to a showdown with a malevolent team, the Vicious 6.
In the first film, a date of birth of September 28, 1960 is given, but in Minions: The Rise of Gru, he is 11 and three-quarters years old around February 1976, which would place his date of birth in 1964 or 1965. Steve Carell describes Gru's strange accent as "a cross between Ricardo Montalban and Bela Lugosi."
Felonious Gru, or Felonius Gru, referred to simply as Gru, is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Despicable Me film series. Voiced by American actor Steve Carell, he has appeared in all five films in the series.
Parents Need to Know. Parents need to know that Minions: The Rise of Gru is a Despicable Me prequel/origin story about how young 11-year-old Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) began his life of villainy.
Felonius Gru (or simply Gru) (born sometime in 1960), is the son of Marlena Gru and the late Robert Gru, and is the main protagonist of the Despicable Me franchise.
And while Gru is very fond of his Minions (Pierre Coffin), the delightfully silly henchmen helping him build his first basement lair, trial and error his first set of weapons, and all around supporting his novice supervillainy efforts, joining the Vicious 6 is something Gru very much thinks he needs to do alone.
Agnes Gru is one of Gru and Lucy's three adopted daughters, alongside her big sisters Margo and Edith.
Gru's relationship to the girls feels like one of convenience and whim. He says he will never let her go again – but we have no reason to believe him. Gru closes by reading the girls a bedtime story he wrote for them – basically saying that he loves them and they changed his heart.
Gru — who conjures up a plan to shrink and steal the moon — adopts three girls from a local orphanage, but it takes him way too long to figure out how to properly treat them. Here are some of the reasons Gru isn't a successful adoptive parent and how, in reality, he wouldn't even pass the application process.
Bob is one of the leading minions in Minions alongside Kevin & Stuart. Bob is the youngest of Minions.
Otto looks like Jerry, but he is a bit more rounder, taller, and chubbier. He also has twelve sprouts of hair, as well as having braces. He also has a bigger weight size than all the other minions.
Lucy Gru (née Wilde) is a major character of the Despicable Me franchise. She was a goofy agent of the Anti-Villain League. She is the love interest, later wife of Felonius Gru and adoptive mother to Margo, Edith, and Agnes.
Lucy Wilde, Gru's wife; Margo, Edith and Agnes' adoptive mother.
The film shows that the Minions existed in the Cretaceous Period since they interact with a Tyrannosaurus rex in the film. Therefore, the Minions have been around for at least 60 million years.
One widespread theory was that Minions were gender neutral, since they don both traditionally male and female attire. Other fans viewed them as boys who occasionally cross-dress: all of the Minions have male names, such as Stuart, Kevin, and Bob.
A trailer for Despicable Me 3 has been released. The teaser introduces Gru's identical twin, aptly named Dru. He is the richer brother, also voiced by Steve Carell. The former supervillain reunites with his long-lost sibling, set to Dr.
It is known that he started balding before his early 40s and he still had lots of hair at some point during his life. Gru's birthdate is either June 19, 1964 or September 28, 1965 (as shown on his profile on Miss Hattie's computer), suggesting Minions is set in 1968.
