Despicable Me 3 is coming soon. Fans, until this point, have welcomed the news with trepidation. They loved the first two, but worried that they might do a Shrek 3 in the third film, and go massively down hill.

But then this trailer for Despicable Me 3 dropped, and it's all been kicking off in the fan groups since then. The official Despicable Me page posted the trailer and an accompanying official poster for the film on Friday.

The fans appear to be extremely irritated by the sudden and unexpected introduction of a previously unmentioned brother.

And boy are they angry.

Livid.

And, personal favourite.

Most of the comments have since been deleted by the page, or by the users themselves. But they were screen-grabbed by another fan, and posted to twitter.

@acornfriend Did they just adapt Uncharted 4 into a movie?

@acornfriend @beebrained they're kinda right though... they could've stopped at 2 movies imo

@hellagaypossum @acornfriend they coulda stopped at one bc the first movie already had a sweet family message with them lil orphans
