The Minions are heading back to the big screen, and this time they’re bringing monsters with them. Universal has officially released the final trailer for Minions & Monsters, the latest installment in the wildly successful Despicable Me universe. Also being referred to by many fans as Minions 3, the upcoming animated adventure marks the seventh film overall in the franchise and promises the biggest, weirdest, and most chaotic Minions story yet.
Set for release on July 1, 2026, Minions & Monsters takes the beloved yellow troublemakers somewhere they’ve never gone before — 1920s Hollywood. Directed by franchise co-creator Pierre Coffin, the film follows three Minions who travel to Hollywood hoping to become legendary filmmakers and movie stars. But in classic Minions fashion, their dream quickly spirals into complete disaster after they discover a mysterious spellbook and accidentally unleash terrifying monsters into the world.
The final trailer leans heavily into the franchise’s signature brand of slapstick comedy, absurd visuals, and nonstop mayhem. From giant creatures destroying movie sets to Minions causing chaos across Hollywood Boulevard, the footage looks packed with the kind of fast-paced animated humor audiences have loved for more than a decade. At the same time, the film appears to embrace old-school monster movie influences, giving the franchise a fresh visual style while still keeping the ridiculous energy intact.
Alongside Pierre Coffin once again voicing the Minions, the film features an impressive voice cast including Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, Trey Parker, Bobby Moynihan, and Phil LaMarr. The screenplay comes from Brian Lynch and Pierre Coffin, continuing the creative partnership that helped shape the Minions into one of animation’s biggest global phenomena.
With explosive visuals, giant monsters, old Hollywood satire, and endless Minion chaos, Minions & Monsters is shaping up to be one of Summer 2026’s biggest animated releases. Whether audiences are returning for nostalgia, family fun, or just to hear more incomprehensible Minion gibberish, the film looks ready to deliver another wildly entertaining adventure when it arrives in theaters on July 1, 2026.
