Despite the underwhelming box office the first Megamind film faced in theaters, the flick turned out to be a true cult classic among fans who loved the anti-hero's story.

Since then, the franchise has produced more films (and TV series) overseeing the giant blue-headed 'evil' mastermind's work as he turns over a new leaf as Metro City's new hero.

In 2011, the franchise released a computer-animated short film called Megamind: The Button of Doom, starring the original voice actor Will Ferrell as the titular villain alongside his trusty Minion, David Cross.

While the short flick does spotlight Megamind's first day as Defender of Metro City, it isn't quite described as its official sequel to the original.

This year, however, Peacock is debuting one Megamind movie and one series: Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate and the show, Megamind Rules! with brand new cast members to remember the characters by.

Check out all the Megamind movie and series titles in the order below:

  • Megamind (2010)
  • Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate (2024)
  • Megamind: The Button of Doom (2011)
  • Megamind Rules! (2024)

Now that we've uncovered the many movies and series produced under the animated franchise, where does Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate fit in the timeline?

How Does Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate Fit the Timeline?

As mentioned previously, Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate is a direct sequel to the 2010 animated film, in which we get to see the major villain turn to heroic ways in rebuilding his new life.

While the Megamind sequel still has the blue-head genius shining as Metro City's mighty hero, he's got to deal with his old colleagues, the Doom Syndicate, and find a way to explain how he's changed since they last committed crime together.

Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate and the series, Megamind Rules! are available to stream on Peacock starting on March 1.
