Universal scored a big hit with Despicable Me and they sent a sequel into development almost immediately after the animated film opened #1 at the box office. This past June, we reported that the studio had set Despicable Me 2 for July 3, 2013 and even though that’s ridiculously far away, the marketing has begun. Collider reader Max has sent along the first promo poster for the movie and it proclaims “More Minions. More Despicable.” Unless the entire planet is getting covered in adorable minions, I don’t see how they could fit any more of the scene-stealing characters into the movie.
Hit the jump to check out the poster.

Isn’t this the second poster? The first one the minion was standing on a slant.
I hated this movie.
One of the best animated films of the past 10 years, a sequel I’m looking forward to.
I wouldn’t go up against Robopacalypse that week. Universal should move “Despicable Me 2″ to Thanksgiving 2013, otherwise it will be coming out right between Pixar’s “Monsters University” and Dreamworks Animation’s “Turbo”. Realistically all these animated films cant be huge success’s coming out so close together.
Um!!! No Way, the First was released July 9th, and shouldn’t the sequel get released in the same month.
