Without Stewart, Bob and Kevin, it will be up to Mel to take charge of the Minion situation in the film. “Are they still doing their own thing? Or are they here with Gru and the other Minions? Or, like, is Bob an adult now? We didn’t want to bring that out into the open too much and start to continue a storyline with characters that we hadn’t seen set up earlier.” “Really, our feeling is that we haven’t seen Kevin, Stuart, and Bob specifically in Despicable Me 1 or 2 anyway, and we wanted to be faithful to the timeline,” co-director Kyle Balda said. The trio’s disappearance will help set up the second installment in their own franchise, which is due out in 2020.

This explains why they’re barely in the first trailer and why their involvement in the movie hasn’t been discussed as much as previous films.


Bob, Kevin and Stuart won’t be a part of Despicable Me 3. The addition of Mel may come as a welcome surprise for fans of the Minion characters, but there is a downside, too. They want fair wages for the hours they’re putting in to help Gru take over the world. To put it less dramatically, the Minions have unionized.

Based on a report from Entertainment Weekly, Mel will lead the uprising of Minions against Gru and fight for their freedom. Unlike the three main Minions who hang around Gru (Steve Carell) and help him execute his evil plans, Mel isn't a fan of the Minions' forced labor situation. In an effort to make turn haters into adoring fans of the small, yellow, incoherent creatures, Universal Pictures is introducing a new Minion: Mel. Depending on who you ask, Minions are either the best or worst part of the Despicable Me franchise.
