Or are they here with Gru and the other Minions? Or, like, is Bob an adult now? We didn’t want to bring that out into the open too much and start to continue a storyline with characters that we hadn’t seen set up earlier.”

- We already saw a Stuart and a Kevin who physically resembles the ones seen in Minions. - We also saw an 'adult-ish' Bob at the end of DM2. - We know all three of them stayed with Gru because of the Minions credits sequence.

What will "Minions 2" be about? They are hinting at Bob, Kevin and Stuart having their own adventure but it wouldn't make that much sense that they left everyone behind. When they first announced M2 I thought "Ok, if by the end of DM3 all the Minions say goodbye to the Gru family in an emotional scene...then this 'sequel spin off' may actually work with them either finding another villain or discovering their own path". But no, apparently they're going with a random story that won't make sense. But hey minions are funny.

I love Bob, it's a shame he won't be back yet. I get it tho, they can't have two Agneses on screen. See I don't get what Balda meant when he said "adult Bob". Minions don't age. Literally by the time they evolved into lifeforms, they should no progress passed their inital state so it would make no sense if for say Bob returns in Minions 2 and he's older.
