Initially excited about the prospect of having a brother, Gru takes Lucy and the girls to his homeland of Freedonia to meet his twin… only to find that Dru is seemingly better than him in every way. While Gru is bald and newly unemployed, Dru has a full head of hair and has inherited their father’s pig farm along with a large fortune.
Dru reveals he has a secret desire: to follow in their father’s footsteps of becoming a world-class villain. When Gru realizes he can partner with his brother and use their dad’s highly sophisticated, villainous gadgets to finally take down the elusive Balthazar Bratt, he agrees to form an alliance with his twin. But will a sibling rivalry get in the way? You bet.
