The first trailer for Despicable Me spin-off Minions gave us a comic look at the little yellow creatures’ origin story. For this second look at the film, there’s a chance to meet the main villain – AKA the person that Kevin, Stuart and Bob desperately want to work for – Scarlett Overkill, voiced by Sandra Bullock.
We catch up with our three hapless heroes in 1968 as they’ve arrived in America and are trying to hitch a ride to Orlando. They’re not trying to get to a theme park (Walt Disney World launched in 1971 and Universal wouldn’t exist there until 1990), but instead are headed to Villain-Con International, where all the biggest and baddest of the bads gather to celebrate their evil deeds and – as the Minions hope – acquire new henchfolk.
There, they do attract the attention of Scarlett and her besotted husband Herb (Jon Hamm), but they soon come to realise that working for the villainess might not be as enjoyable as they’d thought...
With Steve Coogan, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Jennifer Saunders, Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud among the voicecast, Coffin and Kyle Balda are calling the shots on this one, working from a script by Brian Lynch. Minions scuttles on to UK screens on June 26. Banana!
