Which actress voices Scarlet Overkill in Minions?

Sandra Bullock voices Scarlet Overkill in Minions. The character is the film’s glamorous, ambitious supervillain, who recruits Kevin, Stuart, and Bob to become her henchmen.

Bullock joined the Minions voice cast in 2013, bringing a dramatic, fast-talking performance to Scarlet. The film presents Scarlet as a celebrity criminal in 1960s London, where she wants to seize the British crown and become queen. Her husband, Herb Overkill, is voiced by Jon Hamm and supplies her with elaborate inventions.

A common mix-up is confusing Bullock with other major Minions cast members. Jennifer Saunders voices Queen Elizabeth II, while Allison Janney voices Madge Nelson, a member of the Nelson thief family. Julie Andrews is associated with Despicable Me as the voice of Marlena Gru, not Scarlet. Kristen Wiig voices Lucy Wilde in the Despicable Me films.
