*Mumbai, 20th June,2024:* Gru and his family return for more action and madness, bringing along plenty of hilarious fun with the Minions. *Chris Melandari and Illumination production, directed by Chris Renaud and Patrick Delage, Universal Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery)* is all set to release _Despicable Me 4_ on *5th July.* The franchise returns with favourites *Steve Carell as Gru, Kristen Wiig as Lucy, Miranda Cosgrove as Margo, Dana Gaier as Edith, Pierre Coffin as the voice of the Minions, and Joey King as Poppy, Gru’s teenage neighbour who dreams of becoming a supervillain.* The fourth addition of the film begins as Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, and Agnes welcome a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal and his girlfriend Valentina, and the family is forced to go on the run.
Talking about the insights into Poppy’s voice and demeanour, Joey King remarks, _“Recording voice-over for an animated movie is one of my favourite things to do because you have to give everything using just your voice. You end up making a bit of a fool of yourself to understand what the character is going through.”_ King continues, _“You can’t be afraid to throw yourself around to make it resonate in your voice. The freedom to let loose and not worry about appearances is what I love most, especially when I get to play such a fun, over-the-top yet endearing character like Poppy. I can really go for it, do some wild stuff and there’s no wrong way to do it. Poppy’s voice differs from mine because I added a cute little lisp to her voice, which is one of my favourite things about the character. I love when kids try to be all serious and make a point with that innocent, childlike voice, and in Poppy’s case, with her lisp. And although it wasn’t really my intention, somehow her lisp makes her come off even scarier.”_
_Despicable Me 4_ is the mega animated blockbuster with wholesome fun, perfect for this summer season! Catch Gru and Gang with the new Mega Minions, available in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu in theatres on 5th July 2024.
