Production
Illumination's CEO Chris Meledandri said in September 2017 that a fourth Despicable Me film is in development.[1] On February 18, 2022, a release date was confirmed for July 3, 2024 but was changed to 2025.

Trivia

 * Despicable Me 4 will be the first time that an Illumination Entertainment franchise has become a quadrilogy.
 * In the previous film Dru steals Gru's airship which leads to Gru saying: "Let's give him a five-minute head start" to Lucy. This might be an open ending, which means Despicable Me 4 will start off where the 3rd film ended.
 * Mel is also confirmed to return in Despicable Me 4.
 * Sugar and Spice will be the first female villains in the main Despicable Me films as Belle Bottom and Scarlett Overkill were only the villains in the Minions films
 * The eleventh animated sequel to be produced in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio, unlike the previous installments which were produced at 1.85:1, after Rugrats Go Wild, Shrek Forever After, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Planes: Fire & Rescue, Ice Age: Collision Course, Despicable Me 3, Sherlock Gnomes, Toy Story 4, A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon and Minions: The Rise of Gru.
