Steve Carell’s ‘Despicable Me’ super villain Gru has got a new job: saving the world.

He might have ditched his despicable ways for his three adopted daughters, but when the world needs protection from a bigger bad guy, it’s Gru’s inside-knowledge that will help humanity… Yup, he’s becoming a secret agent.

Check out our ‘Despicable Me 2’ clip above, exclusive to Yahoo! Movies UK.

Of course being a super sleuth comes with perks: “Gadgets, weapons, and cool cars!” boasts Gru. And a rather slick pair of shades too. Or a monocle if you’re a minion…

‘Despicable Me 2’ is out in the UK 28 June 2013.
