This could happen in aMega Minionsmovie , Minions 3 , or evenifDespicable Me 5happens . There is even the potential that Dave , Mel , Gus , Jerry , and Tim will not be the only Mega Minions to exist in possible subsequence or spinoffs . The Anti - Villain League could attend to make even more of them afterDespicable Me 4 , so even more knock-down version of the Mega Minions could seem now .
