After a successful summer box office run, the animated sequel, directed by Chris Renaud, will reunite audiences with the beloved characters Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith and Agnes.

AceShowbiz - Directed by Chris Renaud, "Despicable Me 4" will be available for streaming on Peacock starting October 31. Having made $965 million worldwide since its theatrical release this past summer, the film continues to ride the wave of success generated by the franchise, which remains the highest-grossing animated series in history.

The latest installment reunites fans with beloved characters like Gru (Steve Carell), Lucy (Kristen Wiig), and their three daughters-Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Madison Poland). This time, the family is also joined by Gru Jr., a new addition who's determined to give Gru a run for his money. The sequel introduces new villains Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and Valentina (SofĂ­a Vergara), who aim to take over the world, pushing the family to the edge as they struggle to thwart the evil duo's plans.

Interestingly, "Despicable Me 4" had strong competition during its theatrical run, particularly from other blockbuster hits like "Inside Out 2" and "Deadpool & Wolverine". Despite this, Gru's latest adventure held its ground, earning a remarkable $954.1 million globally, further cementing its place in animation history. In fact, the entire "Despicable Me" franchise has now surpassed the $5 billion mark at the global box office, a testament to its enduring appeal.

For fans who can't get enough of the Minions, Illumination has more in store. A third "Minions" movie is in the works, slated for a June 30, 2027 release. And before that, audiences can look forward to another adventure in the "Super Mario Bros." world, following the hugely successful adaptation released last year.

Mark your calendars because this Halloween, it's all about Minion madness. Don't miss "Despicable Me 4" on Peacock starting October 31. With a dynamic cast, including new voices like Stephen Colbert and Joey King, and signature humor that has captivated audiences for over a decade, it's sure to be an unforgettable addition to your Halloween festivities.

Stay tuned for more updates on "Despicable Me 4" and other Illumination projects. It's a great time to be a fan of animated films!
