'Despicable Me 2' Trailer

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (2)

Who was clamoring for a sequel to Despicable Me? Was it you? You? Perhaps… you? Well, wish granted. The full trailer for the sequel to Steve Carell’s animated supervillain-adopting-kids movie is here. Alongside it comes a new poster which, as you can see, is the height of class.

The trailer features more action by those insufferable yellow goggle things, and also reveals some of the plot of the movie. Apparently, Gru is forcibly recruited into an organization that wants his help to save the world. Say, who’s willing to be that it turns out that those people ARE THE REAL VILLAINS ALL ALONG (seriously, why is it the new “thing” that kids’ movies try to pull a twist with who the villain is?).

But really, the plot doesn’t matter. This is all about the anthropomorphic tater tot things. They’re the ones on this poster, not Gru. I look forward to being irritated with them for years to come. Doubtless they’ve got their own TV series in the bag.

Anyway, here’s the trailer. Despicable Me 2 comes out July 3rd.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
