Although we’re a little sad that Stuart, Kevin, and Bob won’t be joining, we can’t wait to see what fresh mischief awaits us in Minions & Monsters this summer. The official trailer gave us our first taste back in February, following the Minions as they summon Cthulhu. Illumination dropped another sneak peak at CinemaCon 2026. The two hilariously chaotic new clips see the Minions rise to Hollywood stardom. The first scene places them on set in a gunslinging Western sequence, while the second is full of viking/gladiatorial action.

In Minions & Monsters, the Minions really embody what it means to be a struggling actor in Hollywood. The first clip depicts an old Western sequence. It’s very loud and chaotic. We see an outlaw on a horse running away as others chase him. The Minions pile on the back of a wagon to attack those chasing the man. The man is shocked to see the yellow creatures and runs away, but the Minions chase him on top of a moving train. The outlaw waves to someone in a prop plane to rescue him, but the Minions don’t let up. They derail the entire plane, which barrels toward a woman and her baby. The yellow creatures use their collective weight the push the train away just in time.
The Minions eventually corner the man in an alleyway, putting an end to this wild chase. Suddenly, the director yells “CUT!!” He scolds the Minions for ruining everything and kicks them out. That’s showbusiness.

After realizing his boss wants the Minions there, the director finds the yellow creatures and brings them back to the studio. The second clip returns us to set, this time for a viking/gladiator face-off. The Minions, dressed as Roman gladiators, must fight a group of heavily armed men who want them dead. The director tells them to sell the drama; If they fail, they will have to go back to scavenging food. When the vikings charge, Minion chaos ensues. They use tools to fight back against the burly men, including poking one in the eye. To everyone’s surprise, the director says it was perfect. The Minions cheer as the human cast lies in pain.

The Minions become big movie stars, which is complicated because they can’t actually speak their lines. Unfortunately, Minion speak isn’t very common in Hollywood. So, two Minions named Henry and James decide to make their own movie. They seek out monsters to be their stars, inciting even more chaos. We just can’t wait to see how it all turns out when the movie hits theaters this summer.
Minions & Monsters arrives on July 1, 2026.
