(Felonious) Gru
Gru, the protagonist of the Despicable Me franchise, is masterfully voiced by Steve Carell. Initially characterized as a cynical and ambitious villain, Gru undergoes a significant transformation upon adopting three orphan girls- Margo, Edith, and Agnes - which ultimately leads him to prioritize their happiness above his malicious pursuits. Developed by Sergio Pablos, the character evolution of Gru transitions from a Dracula-inspired concept towards a sleek James Bond figure, representing attributes of a reformed villain who embraces fatherhood and secret agent roles.
