The continuing challenge for Illumination’s popular “Despicable Me” franchise is what to do with Steve Carell’s Gru now that he’s no longer a supervillain. The solution in “Despicable Me 3”: Gru experiences a mid-life crisis and flirts with being bad when he meets his long-lost twin brother, Dru (also voiced by Steve Carell), a flamboyant opposite in every way.
For Illumination, it was an opportunity to draw more out of Gru through Dru in a yin-and-yang way. This allows Gru to get his mojo back by teaming up with Dru to steal back the world’s most expensive diamond from the young supervillain who cost him his job: Balthazar Bratt, a failed child star from the ’80s who never got over the cancellation of his show (voiced by “South Park” co-creator Trey Parker).
