New Poster for ‘Despicable Me 2’ Finally Stops Focusing on the Minions

We know that those adorable yellow minions were a big hit when the first Despicable Me hit theatres, but it’s led to ninety percent of the promotional material for the sequel to focus on the blighters, rather than the franchise’s star, Steve Carell’s Gru. Finally, this new poster for the film has allowed the minions to take a back seat with the tag “when the world needed a hero, they called a villain” emblazoned above them.

Also starring the voice talents of Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Russell Brand, Ken Jeong, Steve Coogan, Moises Arias, Dana Gaier, Elsie Fisher and Al Pacino, the film hits theatres on July 3rd.
