Having failed to save the day,
Gru is unceremoniously fired by the
AVL – cue lots of moping around in
his not-at-all-fetching dressing gown!
If unemployment wasn’t bad enough,
Gru’s life is plunged into further chaos
when a well-spoken, elderly gentleman
turns up at his front door and extends
an invitation from his twin brother
Dru – a long-lost sibling Gru
didn’t even know he had!
Dru proves to be
everything that Gru
is not: he’s filthy rich,
lives on his own
private island,
has a way with the
ladies and, oh yes,
boasts a full head
of hair. But the
golden-locked
lothario has an
ulterior motive for
inviting Gru, Lucy and
the girls to his gadget-
packed mansion. Telling Gru
that villainy is in his blood, Dru asks
his brother is he’s ready to continue
the family tradition by teaming up with
him for “just one heist”!
Will Dru persuade Gru to return to
his nefarious ways? Will Balthazar Bratt
get his much-deserved comeuppance?
Will little Agnes have to sell all her
beloved toys to support
her jobless dad?
Starring – rather
deliciously – Steve
Carell in the dual role of
Gru and Dru, Kristen Wiig as the
voice of lovely Lucy and South Park
co-creator Trey Parker as Balthazar
Bratt, Despicable Me 3 looks set
to continue the franchise
tradition of destroying
all before it at the
UK box office –
supervillain-style!
We’ll leave the
last word to little
Nev Scharrel, who
has replaced Elsie
Fisher as the voice
of Agnes in the film.
In an impossibly cute
interview with the
Pop Star! website, the
young actress revealed
why everyone should go and see
Despicable Me 3: “Well, I know
for a fact Agnes has a lot of really
funny lines and I’m guessing the
other characters are going to have
lots of laughs too. There’s new
characters and if you like the old
characters, then they’re still there!”
