Former child star from 2000s embraces darker roles with new villainous character.
Let's talk about Joey King, the talented actress who has captivated our screens for years. From her early days as a child actor in popular shows like Suite Life Of Zack & Cody and Horton Hears A Who!, to her leading role in the beloved Kissing Booth franchise, Joey has truly grown up in the spotlight. Now, at the age of 24, she is ready to take on a new challenge - playing a villain on screen.

Fresh off the success of her role in Bullet Train alongside Brad Pitt, Joey is taking on a completely different character in the upcoming Despicable Me 4. She will be voicing the aspiring supervillain Poppy Prescott, a far cry from her previous roles in the romantic comedies we've come to love. The movie is set to be released in the US on July 3rd and in UK cinemas on July 12th, and Joey couldn't be more excited about it.

At the New York premiere of the film, Joey arrived with 25 adorable dogs, adding to the fun and excitement of the event. She shared how much she enjoyed tapping into her character's evil side, saying that playing a villain is the most fun she's had in her career. She also expressed her love for the creative freedom that comes with playing a villain and hopes to take on more villainous roles in the future.

But don't worry, Joey assured us that her villainous persona will only be seen on screen. She joked that maybe it'll spill into her real life, and she'll become a diva overnight - if she feels like it. In Despicable Me 4, Joey is working alongside some incredible actors, including Steve Carrell, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, and Will Ferrell. She shared the process of finding her character's voice and how the director allowed her to play around with different options until they settled on the perfect one.

This sequel marks the first Despicable Me movie in seven years, and Joey is thrilled to be a part of it. She has had a successful career so far, with notable roles in films like Ramona and Beezus and Wish I Was Here. But she's excited to add this new challenge to her resume and continue to showcase her talent on the big screen.

The official synopsis of the film teases an exciting storyline, with Gru and his family facing a new nemesis and going on the run. Joey is ready to take on this new adventure and can't wait for audiences to see it. Despicable Me 4 is set to release in the US on July 3rd and in the UK on July 12th, and we can't wait to see Joey's villainous side in action.
