The first "Despicable Me 3" trailer has arrived. It introduces Gru's new enemy Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who's grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the '80s. The villain shows his obsession to everything retro with his look that includes shoulder pads and mullet. Meanwhile, he chooses Michael Jackson's "Bad" as his theme song.

Steve Carell is back as Gru. He will also voice Gru's long-lost twin Dru "who is exactly like Gru except with hair, and also different in every way." Kristen Wiig returns as Gru's wife Lucy Wilde while Trey Parker is tapped as the voice of the big bad Bratt and Miranda Cosgrove voices Gru's oldest kid.

The family animated movie is set to hit theaters Stateside on June 30, 2017.
