Starring Keith Ferguson, Laura Post, and Josh Brener, the film follows Megamind, now a superhero, as he protects Metro City from his former allies in the Doom Syndicate, a team of supervillains.
Keeping his old crew fooled, Megamind reveals an abandoned villainous plot he conducted of launching Metro City to the Moon using rockets planted underground.
Realizing that he cannot defeat the Syndicate alone, Megamind tracks Chum inside his remodeled diner and attempts to enlist his help.
Megamind, Chum, Roxanne, and Keiko team up to face the Doom Syndicate, but fail to stop the launch.
Roxanne is elected the new Mayor of Metro City, while Keiko launches a hero signal as Megamind feels accomplished in his new team.
In a mid-credits scene, the Doom Syndicate are locked back up in prison, where they are visited by Megamind's former mentor, Machiavillain.
