Minions & Monsters may have just hit theaters, but Jesse Eisenberg and Zoey Deutch already have an idea for the Minions’ next adventure. In a recent interview, the two stars discussed the prospect of the Minions crossing over to different pop-culture franchises, stating that their post-apocalyptic comedy film series, Zombieland, would serve as a perfect setting for the beloved characters.
Jesse Eisenberg and Zoey Deutch want a Minions & Monsters and Zombieland crossover
While speaking with Comic Book Resources‘ Grae Drake, Jesse Eisenberg explored the idea of a version of his hit horror-comedy movie Zombieland, but with Minions instead of zombies. Notably, Deutch starred alongside Eisenberg in the second Zombieland movie, Double Tap.
Talking about which franchise would work best with a Minions & Monsters crossover, the Social Network star noted, “Gotta be Zombieland. Can you imagine? Because we were in the Zombieland movie, we’re being chased by hordes of zombies. Wouldn’t it be a lot less scary if they were tiny? And adorable.”
Zoey Deutch seconded her Zombieland co-star’s idea with her own twist. “And what about Minions turning into zombies?” she added. Eisenberg found the idea intriguing, describing it as “scary” and “an interesting pitch.” An equally enthusiastic Deutch replied, “Yes, think about it. Get back to me later. You have until the end of the day.”
Other Minions & Monsters voice actors had their own ideas for a crossover. “I mean, Minions hosting SNL,” remarked Bobby Moynihan. “I think SNL is like a Minions movie. It’s just complete chaos, people running and knocking things over. It’s like that anyway.”
Meanwhile, Allison Janney said that she would “like to see the Minions on The West Wing set doing all the background deaths.” She added, “They would be the background artists.”
Minions & Monsters is currently playing in theaters.
