The mayhem-loving mischief-makers are back! Illumination’s Minions & Monsters—the third Minions prequel and seventh chapter in the Despicable Me saga—arrives exclusively in theaters on July 1, 2026, and you can check out the brand-new poster and trailer now.

Written and directed by franchise favorite Pierre Coffin (yes, the voice of the Minions!) and penned by returning scribe Brian Lynch, the film promises exactly what the title suggests: Minions. And monsters.

The first trailer, which debuted during Super Bowl LX, shows the Minions infiltrating Hollywood to pitch their own monster movie. Their big summoning spell? Let’s just say the underworld delivers… but not quite as expected.

Take a look at the poster, watch the trailer, and prepare for adorably chaotic creature comedy!

Here's a look at the first trailer for The Odyssey:
