DreamWorks Animation has announced that “Shrek 5″ is officially in development, with a July 1, 2026, release date. Original “Shrek” stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are all confirmed to return.
Antonio Banderas’ return as the feisty feline Puss in Boots is yet confirmed, and no director was announced.
Murphy let it slip in June that he had already begun voice recording for the film and will next do a Donkey spinoff movie.
“We started doing [’Shrek 5′] months ago,” Murphy told Collider. “I did this. I recorded the first act, and we’ll be doing it this year, we’ll finish it up. ‘Shrek’ is coming out and Donkey’s gonna have his own movie. We’re gonna do Donkey as well. So we’re gonna do a ‘Shrek,’ and we’re doing a Donkey [movie].”
