The cinematic universe just got a little more exciting with the release of the official trailer for “Mooned,” a sci-fi short film that’s set to play before the animated adventure “Migration.” This short film is an intriguing blend of humor and cosmic mystery, featuring the return of Vector, the memorable villain from the first “Despicable Me” movie.

“Mooned” is a creative venture by Universal and Illumination, focusing on what happened to Vector after he was marooned on the Moon. Fans of the franchise will recall that Vector, voiced by Jason Segel, met this lunar fate at the hands of Gru in the series’ first installment. This short film, spanning just under 9 minutes, aims to answer the long-standing question: What has Vector been up to all this time?

In a surprising twist, the Minions, voiced by Pierre Coffin, are also stuck with Vector, adding their unique brand of humor to the mix.
