Nostalgia appears in 3, 2, 1… and of course, the return of Megamind was confirmed, that blue villain who stole our hearts by being bad. Although it was not the highest-grossing when it was released in 2010, the film gained fans over time, until it became one of the favorites and great references for memes. The story focuses on a blue being that comes from space and due to various situations on Earth, brings out the worst side of him and does everything to be the most feared villain; However, a superhero prevents him from achieving his goal by disappearing.
Then, Megamind, the villain with incredible entrances, creates his own caped man to convince people that he is a good enemy, but things get out of control. After the beautiful ending where good (or evil?) triumphs, there is more…
Megamind Returns With New Movie and Animated Series
It turns out that upon seeing the public’s response, DreamWorks considered it a good idea to launch a second part. Everything remained mere rumors, until in 2022 it was confirmed that they were working, but on an animated series, as a sequel under the name: Megamind’s Guide to Defending Your City.
This would focus on Megamind, but now with a different objective, since he would seek to become a true hero and even an influencer (obviously we would be followers). However, the announcement remained in the air. We didn’t hear more about Megamind and suddenly, this February 1, 2024, DreamWorks finally showed us the first preview of this project (and yes, we are crying). Not only that, this story will have a second part in a movie. So the wait was completely worth it.
What Will the Second Megamind Movie Be About?
The idea they proposed at the beginning is maintained, it will continue on the “side of good”; However, on his way, he runs into a group of powerful villains to which he belongs. They think he is still evil and create chaos in the city he swore to protect. The advantage of Megamind is that now he is not alone, he has more companions like Roxanne, Minion, and a little admirer of his. Megamind 2 which will rather be called: Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate will premiere on March 1, 2024, which is when it joins the Peacock catalog.
So, There Will Be No More Series?
Of course, after the first preview of the movie, they announced that the Megamind Rules series is coming almost immediately! There is no more information, but that they were not pure stories, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, the voice cast in the English version does not return, so we are saying goodbye to Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Brad Pitt.
