Famous composer John Powell is writing the music for Illumination’s highly anticipated “Minions & Monsters.” This is another project with the studio that made the Despicable Me movies. It combines Powell’s unique energetic and silly style with the chaotic charm of Minions fighting huge monsters. Fans can look forward to a soundtrack full of fun beats and big orchestral swells that fit the movie’s adventurous tone.
John Powell has worked on many hit movies over the years, including “How to Train Your Dragon,” which was nominated for an Academy Award, and “Happy Feet” and “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” His work with DreamWorks Animation and Illumination makes him a great choice for “Minions & Monsters.” He will add to the Minions’ mischievous behavior with new instruments like kazoos and strange sounds.
“Minions & Monsters,” which will come out in 2026, builds on the franchise’s billion-dollar legacy, and Powell’s involvement means high-quality production values. Trailers are already hinting at Minion mayhem with huge twists, and the score could be as good as past hits and take over streaming playlists.
