Un anno dopo gli eventi del secondo film, Gru è ormai diventato un agente ufficiale dell’AVL. Questa volta lui e la sua collega (e moglie) Lucy Wilde vengono incaricati di catturare il malvagio Balthazar Bratt, un supercriminale che da giovane era una star televisiva degli anni ’80, ma una volta entrato nell’età della pubertà ha perso la sua fama. Bratt tenta di rubare un grosso diamante, ma Gru riesce a recuperare il gioiello, facendosi però scappare il criminale. Per questo Valerie Da Vinci, il nuovo e severo capo della lega anti crimine lo licenzia insieme a Lucy. Tornati a casa i due raccontano tutto alle loro figlie Margo, Edith e Agnes, che ci restano molto male e i Minion si dimettono e se ne vanno di casa, non accettando il fatto che Gru non voglia più fare il supercattivo. A questo si aggiunge il fatto che il professor Nefario si è accidentalmente congelato con la carbonite. Nel frattempo Bratt riesce a rubare il diamante con uno stratagemma, mentre Gru e Lucy si ritrovano senza lavoro. Un giorno a casa di Gru si presenta un uomo dicendo di essere stato mandato da Dru, il fratello gemello di Gru, ma quest’ultimo lo caccia, dicendo di non avere un fratello. L’uomo allora gli mostra una foto di Gru e Dru da bambini. Gru va dalla madre per chiederle spiegazioni e lei gli spiega che dopo la nascita dei figli i genitori divorziarono e ognuno si prese in custodia uno dei figli: la madre Gru e il padre Dru. Gru parte quindi con la famiglia per andare a conoscere il fratello, uguale a lui ma come unica differenza: ha una folta chioma bionda. I gemelli passano la giornata insieme creando un buon rapporto. In seguito Dru mostra al fratello il covo segreto di loro padre, il più grande cattivo della storia dopo Scarlet Overkill (presente nel film precedente) molto orgoglioso di Gru ma che considerava Dru un fallito: quest’ultimo chiede al fratello di insegnargli come diventare un supercattivo. Dopo un iniziale rifiuto Gru decide di andare a rubare il diamante da Bratt, con l’intento di consegnarlo alla giustizia e riavere il lavoro indietro...
