The recently-released clip shows Minions Stuart, Kevin, and Bob breaking away from the pack in search for a villain to serve. Otherwise their lives will be meaningless.

"The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill [voiced by Sandra Bullock], the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind … from annihilation," the synopsis reads.

The film is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, the names behind the two successful "Despicable Me" titles.

Much to the surprise of the many, it has been introduced in the trailer that the Minions are in fact, walking around this earth long before the Pyramids have been built (which they built, actually).

They were apparently there during the time when the continents are still but one piece of land.

Then they came out to the sea to serve their first master, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Perhaps millions of years passed and they now find themselves serving the Pharaohs of Egypt. Afterwards, they are under the ranks of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's army. It turns out, in the later part, that they are the ones responsible for the annihilation of the vampires.

Then they hit the wall. Now they are left in some ice-covered environment, leaderless, "aimless and depressed."

But Kevin, along with the two mentioned minions, decides he will embark an expedition to find the "biggest, baddest villain to serve."

And that is for us to know who when the movie hit the theaters on July 10, 2015.
