Who voices Maxime Le Mal in Despicable Me 4?

Will Ferrell voices Maxime Le Mal in Despicable Me 4. Maxime is a French-accented supervillain and Gru’s former school rival, seeking revenge after their bitter reunion.

Maxime enhances himself with cockroach body parts and uses a ray gun that can transform people into cockroach hybrids. His scheme gives the 2024 film its central conflict, forcing Gru’s family to move into hiding while the Anti-Villain League responds to Maxime’s escape.

The voice cast creates several likely mix-ups. Steve Carell voices Gru, Jon Hamm previously played Herb Overkill in Minions, and Stephen Colbert voices Perry Prescott, one of Gru’s new neighbors. Despicable Me 4 is the fourth main film in the franchise and the sixth installment overall.
