Released in theaters in December 2010, the animated film Megamind returns to Netflix on August 3, 2025. Directed by Tom McGrath for DreamWorks Studios, this comic feature revisits the superhero mythos through the eyes of an endearing failed supervillain. Featuring the voices of Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill in the original version, and Kad Merad and Franck Dubosc in the French version, Megamind is aimed at family audiences aged 8 and over.
With its colorful visuals, offbeat humor and original treatment of classic genre figures, Megamind seduced a wide audience at the time of its release, and today remains an iconic work in the DreamWorks Animation catalog.
Megamind will be available on Netflix from August 3, 2025.
Synopsis: Megamind is the greatest super-villain in the history of mankind. And the worst loser too... For years, he's been trying every possible way to conquer Metro City. In vain: each of his attempts is thwarted by the invincible Metro Man, and turns into a farce. Until one day, Megamind kills Metro Man! But a super-villain needs a superhero to feel that he exists and has a purpose in life. So Megamind has the idea of creating a new adversary: Titan, even bigger, stronger and more heroic than his predecessor. Problem: Titan soon discovers that it's much more fun to be a villain than to protect people. And even more fun to destroy the world than to rule it... Caught in a trap, will Megamind succeed in defeating his diabolical creation? And become the unexpected hero of his own story?
Megamind offers an original retelling of superhero stories. The main character, far from being a traditional vigilante, is a supervillain tired of his own failures. The script explores what happens when the villain "wins", and what it really means to be a hero. The film plays with audience expectations and genre codes, in a light, accessible atmosphere.
Designed for a family audience, Megamind is packed with pop culture references and absurd comic situations. The exuberant and endearing main character delivers one clumsy retort after another, and his inventions are outlandish. Children will enjoy the fast-paced visual entertainment, while adults will appreciate the nods to classic superhero films.
Produced by DreamWorks Studios, also responsible for Shrek, Dragons and The Croods, Megamind stands out for its dynamic graphic style, expressive characters and stylized urban universe. The film's fluid animation and rhythmic soundtrack reinforce its offbeat, energetic tone.
Megamind is an American animated film released in 2010, directed by Tom McGrath and produced by DreamWorks Animation. By inverting the traditional roles of hero and villain, it offers an original and entertaining tale, accessible from the age of 8. Its arrival on Netflix in August 2025 will enable a new generation to discover this super-villain who, in spite of himself, has become the savior of Metro City.
