Get ready to relive the fairytales you thought you knew! Beloved ogre Shrek is returning for a fifth(Shrek 5)adventure, and it sounds like it’ll be arriving sooner than we might have expected.
Actor Eddie Murphy, who voices Donkey in the franchise, recently spilled the beans during an interview with Collider.
Shrek Forever After Wasn’t Forever
In 2010, it appeared that the main Shrek series was coming to an end with “Shrek Forever After.” However, it didn’t stop the world from falling in love with the grumpy green ogre. The two Puss in Boots spin-off films and the animated series proved there was still a hunger for more Shrek-related content.
It’s All Ogre Now: Shrek 5 is Officially Happening
Murphy has announced that “Shrek 5” is officially being developed. He revealed that voice recording for the first act is already complete, with the rest expected to be finished this year. This exciting news suggests a potential release date in 2025, though DreamWorks Animation has yet to make a formal announcement.
Donkey Gets His Own Fairytale
But wait, there’s more! Murphy also hinted at a delightful spin-off movie centered around his character, the ever-enthusiastic Donkey. While details are scarce, it seems Donkey’s own adventure will follow “Shrek 5.”
A DreamWorks Fairytale Come True
News of “Shrek 5″‘s existence isn’t entirely new. Last year, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri confirmed the project was in development during a Variety interview.
At that time, the original voice cast, including Murphy, Mike Myers (Shrek), and Cameron Diaz (Fiona), were only in negotiations to return. With Murphy confirming his involvement, it’s highly likely that Myers and Diaz are also on board to reprise their iconic roles.
What Does This Mean for Shrek Fans?
This news is a cause for celebration for Shrek aficionados everywhere. It signifies a return to the wacky, heartwarming world we fell in love with over two decades ago.
Whether you yearn for Shrek’s grumpy charm, Fiona’s fierce independence, or Donkey’s never-ending optimism, “Shrek 5” promises another adventure filled with laughter, love, and maybe even a few ogrelaws.
Preparing for the Return to the Swamp
As we await more details, one thing is certain: the magic of Shrek is far from over. Fans should prepare to return to the swamp and join Shrek, Donkey, and the rest of the fairytale gang for another unforgettable journey. Keep your ears peeled for more updates, and get ready to embrace the chaos, humor, and heart that the Shrek series has always delivered.
In conclusion, Eddie Murphy has confirmed the return of the favorite ogre and his friends, so “Shrek 5” is on its way. The promise of a Donkey spin-off only adds to the excitement. So, get ready to sharpen your pitchforks and prepare for another (hopefully) happily ever after when Shrek and his fairytale companions return to the big screen.
