Minions: The Rise of Autism (also known as Minions 2) is an upcoming 2021 American 3D computer animated comedy film produced by Illumination. A sequel to Minions (2015), and spin off/prequel to the main Despicable Me film series, it will be directed by Kyle Balda, with Brad Ableson and Jonathan del Val as co-directors, and written by Brian Lynch.[1][2]

The film stars the returning voices of Pierre Coffin, Steve Carell,[3] Russell Brand, and Julie Andrews, along with newcomers Taraji P. Henson, Michelle Yeoh, RZA, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lucy Lawless, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, and Alan Arkin. Minions: The Rise of Gru was originally scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on July 3, 2020 by Universal Pictures, but it was delayed to July 2, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the film industry.[4][5][6][7]

Premise

A continuation of the film of 2015, this time in the heart of the 1970s, a twelve year old Felonius Gru is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain group known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. When the Vicious 6 fire their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles, Gru interviews to become their newest member.

It does not go well, and things only get worse after Gru steals from them with the help of Kevin, Stuart, Bob, Otto, and the other Minions and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. On the run, Gru and the Minions will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles himself, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
