While not every main cast member has been confirmed, we can expect the following voices to be heard in Despicable Me 4:

As for who is working behind the camera – or voice recording booth, in this case – will be the screenplay writer Mike White, along with co-directors Chris Renaud and Patrick Delage. Rachel Levy will lead the music department.

Pierre Coffin, Ken Daurio, Chris Renaud, and Cinco Paul, will all be executive producing, with Janet Healy and Christopher Meledandri producing.

Currently, Despicable Me 4 has no official plot, though we can gather it will continue exploring the relationship between Gru and his found family. And of course, many a Minion shenanigan.

According to Steve Carell (viaThe Economic Times), Despicable Me 4 will follow on from the previous trilogy, with Lucy and Gru now being a married couple. They will continue their work with the Anti-Villain League, which their children will potentially also be getting involved with.
