Minions is set to hit the big screen this summer and looks set to be one of the most successful animation films of 2015.
Minions
Sandra Bullock is one of the big names to lend her voice to the film as Scarlett Overkill, and the first images of this character have been released by USA Today.
We were introduced to the minions for the first time back in 2010 with Despicable Me, and Minions will mark their first solo film.
Despicable Me filmmaker Pierre Coffin is back in the director's chair and has teamed up with Kyle Balda for this new film project.
A terrific voice cast has been assembled for the film, as Bullock is joined by Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Katy Mixon, Jon Hamm, Steve Coogan, and Jennifer Saunders.
Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. After accidentally killing off so many of them - from T. Rex to Napoleon - the Minions find themselves without a master to serve and fall into a deep depression.
But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he - alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob - ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.
The trio embarks upon an adventure that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind... from annihilation.
