How to watch the Despicable Me movies in order
Most agree that the Despicable Me movies are best watched in order of release, but there are some fans who prefer to watch the movies in chronological order of events in the Despicable Me universe.
This is the complete list of Despicable Me movies in order of release:
-
Despicable Me (2010)
-
Despicable Me 2 (2013)
-
Minions (2015)
-
Despicable Me 3 (2017)
-
Minions: The Rise Of Gru (2022)
-
Despicable Me 4 (2024)
If you prefer to watch the movies in chronological order of events, watch Minions and Minions: The Rise Of Gru first. Even though the two Minions spin-off movies were released after Despicable Me, they are actually prequel films that take place before the events of 2010’s Despicable Me. These prequel movies centre on the Minions before they meet Gru, and when he is a young boy.
