Despicable Me 4, the next installment in Illumination's supervillain franchise, is scheduled for release in theaters in 2024 and could end up being one of Gru's most ridiculous ventures to date.
Started with 2010's Despicable Me, the $3.7 billion franchise has grown to become one of the highest-grossing movies ever made. Every two to three years, spin-off prequels and sequels are routinely created in order to maintain the popularity of the series. Interspersed with the Despicable Me movies are themed books, video games, and short films.
