Despicable Me 5: Release Date, Trailer & Everything You Need To Know

Is Despicable Me 5 happening? If you are reading this article then I am pretty sure that you’ve already watched ‘Despicable Me 4.’ The movie has earned a whooping $120M+ in it’s world wide box office opening and it’s be no surprise if it brings another wave of domination from Minions saga.

While rumors are already circulating on all over the internet regarding the future installments, we still have to find out if more projects are going to land in the near future or not. Well, you don’t have to worry about anything as here I am sharing some of the most exciting and original updates about ‘Despicable Me 5!’

Is Despicable Me 5 Confirmed?

Before talking about anything, it is very important to know if the movie is really happening or not. So what’s the answer?

Well, Illumination studio highly considers the box office numbers before announcing another sequel. All Despicable Me movies have dominated these numbers and luckily, the fourth part is also burning the box office.

According to the sources like Screen Rant, it is just a matter of few months before they officially confirms the fifth installment from this Minions universe. So animation fans, you can sit back and relax because Despicable Me 5 will definitely happen.

Despicable Me 5 Release Date: When To Expect?

It is very important to talk about its release date. If you’ll pay a close attention then you’ll notice that Illumination studios comes with a new minions project after every two to four years. Now if they announce a fifth film by the end of this year, then chances are high that you can get a chance to watch Despicable Me 5 by late 2026 or mid 2027.

However, I’d suggest you to not expect ay sort of announcement atleast for next few months (or maybe a year or two). That’s because the company is officially collaborating with Nintendo to develop it’s own universe.

Yes, I am not joking. It simply means that you’ll be getting a variety of projects from multiple gaming-genre, all connected to each other. So in order to develop another Despicable Me movie, they too have to make a release window, which is looking a bit too saturated for them.

What Will Happen In Despicable Me 5?

Although the fourth film ends on a very happy note, this franchise is known for giving a new start while connecting itself to it’s previous installment very smartly.

Despicable Me 3 was concluding everything but we still got a fourth delivery. More importantly, just like I mentioned above that box office numbers are looking just way too promising – so Illumination will definitely go on a good discussion for future.

Now if Despicable Me 5 happens, then we may get a chance to explore more about the newly found bond and friendship of Gru and his kids. He could retire and focus on his family exclusively, only to be pulled back into the Anti Villains League, or his older kids could grow up and become rebellious teens.

Possibilities are endless but long story short, Despicable Me 5 will happen and you will be watching it very soon. What do you want to watch in fifth part? Let me know in comments and stick around the corner with Movie World Network for everything Hollywood.

Till then – Stay safe, peace out!
