Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award winner Trey Parker (co-creator of Comedy Central’s global phenomenon South Park and the Broadway smash The Book of Mormon) joins the Despicable Me 3 voice cast as the film’s villain, Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who’s grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the ’80s.

Directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, co-directed by Eric Guillon, and written by Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio, Despicable Me 3 will be released in theaters on June 30, 2017. The animated film is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and executive produced by Chris Renaud.
Later this month, Universal and Illumination are releasing a new original film, Sing. Featuring more than 85 hit songs, Sing is written and directed by Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and stars Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton and Tori Kelly in an animated adventure about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us. Look for it to hit theaters December 21.
