'Minions: The Rise of Gru' Release Gets Pushed Back Again, Moves to 2022

The upcoming Minions prequel movie has been given another new release date!

This is the second time that Minions: The Rise of Gru has been pushed back, and will now premiere in 2022, according to Variety.

Back in March 2020, amid the Coronavirus, the studio working on the film in France had shut down and caused the film’s initial July 2020 release to be moved. The movie was then announced to premiere on July 2, 2021, one year after the original date.

Now, among other Universal release dates being moved around, the Minions film has been pushed back by another year and will premiere on July 1, 2022.

Minions: The Rise of Gru will tell the untold story of one 12-year-old’s dream to become the world’s greatest supervillain.

We may have to wait another year to watch the film, but in the meantime, fans can still watch the trailer to tie them over!
