Trey Parker has had plenty of success with South Park, but as an actor he’s largely stuck to things he’s created himself (alongside Matt Stone). However, he’s entered the world of Despicable Me 3 to play the new villain.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The team who brought you Despicable Me and the biggest animated hits of 2013 and 2015, Despicable Me 2 and Minions, returns to continue the adventures of Gru, Lucy, their adorable daughters—Margo, Edith and Agnes—and the Minions.
‘Joining Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig in Despicable Me 3 is Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award winner Trey Parker, co-creator of Comedy Central’s global phenomenon South Park and the Broadway smash The Book of Mormon. Parker voices the role of villain Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who’s grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the ‘80s, and proves to be Gru’s most formidable nemesis to date.’

A lot of people wondered whether Moonlight would be this year’s Tangerine – a movie that was heaped with critical praise but got completely shut out at the Oscars. However, if the Golden Globes is any indication, it’s got a good shot of being amongst the nominations for the Academy Awards. Indeed, it’s already racked up a series of wins at Critics Choice awards, and so may actually have a shot at the Best Picture Oscar itself.
One of the key things in the Fast & Furious movies is that whatever side of the law they’re on, loyalty between the crew is paramount. However, things are in for a bit of a change, with Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto being forced to turn on his ‘family’ by Charlize Theron’s villainous Cipher.
