‘Despicable Me 4’ Lands Streaming Premiere Date On Peacock

Despicable Me 4—the animated summer movie smash starring the voice of Steve Carell—has a date with the Peacock streaming service.

Despicable Me 4, which was released in theaters on July 3, is actually the sixth film in the Despicable Me franchise. The franchise also includes two Minions spinoff films.

In the latest installment of the franchise, former supervillain turned Anti-Villian League agent Gru (Carell), busts his former high school classmate Maxime (Will Ferrell). Maxime has harnessed the power of cockroaches to realize his nefarious plans, and he uses his powers to break out of jail with a promise to exact revenge on Gru, his wife and fellow AVL agent, Lucy (Kristen Wiig), and their family.

As such, Gru, Lucy and their family are relocated to a safe house with three of Gru’s Minions (Pierre Coffin), while the rest of the Minions stay at the AVL headquarters. While there, five of the Minions volunteer for an experimental program that will turn them into superpowered Mega Minions.

Despicable Me 4 also stars the voices of Sofia Vergara, Steve Coogan, Stephen Colbert and Joey King.
