A sneak into the new mischiefs that await in Despicable Me 4

During Universal's CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, attendees got an extended look at Illumination's Despicable Me 4.

Gru, voiced by The Office star Steve Carell, teams up with Poppy (Joey King) to steal a honey badger from a castle or a private school while the two Minions and Gru’s baby son Junior are in tow. Gru gets shot in the butt by a tranquilizer shot as the honey badger awakens and creates havoc.

The clip was introduced today at the Caesars Colosseum by Illumination boss Chris Meledandri. He thanked exhibitors for the sleeper success of his animation studio's Migration ($293 million at the box office).

“If there is any doubt, our commitment to producing original animation films remains steadfast,” said Meledandri.

King from Bullet Train, Stephen Colbert from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Chloe Fineman from Saturday Night Live will be voicing the new characters in the film.

In this film, Pierre Coffin reprises his role as the iconic voice of the Minions and Steve Coogan reprises his role as Silas Ramsbottom.
