'Minions: Rise of Gru' trailer is out & it's all about the journey of little supervillain

The upcoming animated comedy film, Minions: The Rise of Gru, has been facing delays due to the coronavirus pandemic. Its plot is set in the 1970s when Gru was just a little kid aspiring to be a supervillain. When he heads to the headquarters of the evil team, known as the 'Vicious 6', he almost gets laughed out of the room. But then he uses one of his trademark gadgets to steal an important artifact from their den, officially starting him down the path of being a bona fide supervillain. Unfortunately, what happens after that complicates things for the toddler.

Ahead of three months of its debut in theatres, Universal has released a new Minions: The Rise of Gru trailer. The Minions 2 trailer reveals a lot more about the little guys' latest adventure. The audience will see the minions' initial interaction with Gru who will be kidnapped by the Vicious 6. This group of villains has not gotten the chance to show off their viciousness just yet, but their presence will make the show even more intriguing. Watch the trailer here:

The trailer also sees Michelle Yeoh's Master Chow, a seemingly innocent lady who teaches the Minions how to fight after Gru is taken. Well, the trailer also reveals that Minions: The Rise of Gru will hit the theatres this July which will further boost the still-recovering pandemic box office.
