Story Overview:
Gru has officially retired from villainy (again) and is enjoying life as a devoted dad and Anti-Villain League consultant. Lucy is thriving in her undercover work, the girls are growing up fast — and Gru Jr. is starting to show a suspiciously mischievous streak.

When a mysterious mastermind begins recruiting former villains with promises of a “golden age of evil,” chaos erupts worldwide. Even worse? The Minions accidentally sign up.

As old rivals resurface and high-tech heists sweep across major cities, Gru must assemble an unlikely team of reformed villains to stop a threat that believes evil should evolve.

But the real challenge may be at home, as Gru Jr. becomes fascinated with the idea of becoming “the greatest villain ever.” Gru must confront his own past and teach his son that greatness isn’t about domination — it’s about choice.

Because being bad is easy. Being better is harder.
