In the fourth installment, Gru (Steve Carrell), Lucy (Kristen Wiig), their three daughters — Agnes (Madison Polan), Margo (Dana Gaier), Edith (Miranda Cosgrove) — and newborn baby Gru Jr. are forced to go into witness protection after Gru's old nemesis, Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell), escapes from prison. Pierre Coffin, Sofia Vergara, Steve Coogan, Joey King, Stephen Colbert, and Chloe Fineman round out the core voice cast.
“Our goal is to cater to the audience’s affection for these characters while infusing new elements to invigorate the narrative,” director Chris Renaud says in the production notes. “Similar to the depth of the characters in the James Bond franchise, we delve into Gru’s world of supervillains and heroes, intricately woven with his family life. Each installment presents new challenges for Gru, both professionally and personally, ensuring a dynamic and engaging storyline that keeps audiences returning to the theater.”
