Getty Images George Lucas is coming out of retirement for a special voice role! The legendary Star Wars creator will voice a character in the upcoming Minions & Monsters , the latest entry in Illumination’s mega-successful Despicable Me franchise. CEO Chris Meledandri told Collider recently that he had met George “about two years ago” and learn about his love of Illumination movies, particularly Despicable Me and the Minions . “It was such a thrill to learn that and then to share it with the team, because obviously he’s among a very small group of people who the entire studio shares a level of respect for that is just off the charts,” he told the outlet. An idea came up for George to play himself in the film and it ended up working out, with the role in question involving famed actor and director Orson Welles . “It was incredible. So, we’re thrilled to have him in the film. I saw him recently, and he’s already talking to me about the role he wants to do next in the next Minions movie. So, it’s pretty incredible,” the CEO revealed. Minions & Monsters will arrive in theaters on July 1, 2026. Watch the trailer ! Find out more about the talented cast of the film right here !
