10 More Delayed 2020 Movies

5. Minions: The Rise Of Gru

Woman In The Window

The Minions franchise is in no hurry to fade away. With the Despicable Me films doing so well and the 2015 Minions film grossing over $1 billion, another instalment was inevitable. So it looks like we're about to have a new influx of Minion merchandise hitting every shop on the high street as we build up to the release of Minions: The Rise Of Gru.

The upcoming sequel continues where the 2015 prequel left off, with Steve Carell reprising his role once again. The Rise Of Gru takes us back to the 1970's, where a twelve year old Gru is growing up in the suburbs. Having become a huge fan of supervillain group known as the Vicious 6, he hatches a plan to try and join their crew. Unsurprisingly, this goes terribly and the lovable little villain ends up on the wrong side of the evil squad.

The film is currently unfinished, despite originally being due for release this July. Work was brought to an abrupt stop after the studio closed down their production offices. DreamWorks have rescheduled the film for 2021, allowing for plenty of time to finish up the final bits.
