Exciting news for ‘Shrek’ fans! ‘Shrek 5’ started production months ago, with Eddie Murphy expecting it to release in 2025, followed by a Donkey spinoff movie. Both films aim to revitalize the beloved franchise. The previous Shrek universe film, ‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,’ was well-received, setting high expectations for these upcoming releases.

The movie continues the story of the beloved green ogre Shrek, his wife Fiona, and their fairy tale friends.

After the events of Shrek Forever After, the lovable ogre family is living happily in the countryside. However, a new threat emerges that sends Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Puss in Boots on a wild, comedic adventure. Rumors suggest the return of classic Shrek villains as well as the introduction of exciting new characters.

Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the creators at DreamWorks Animation will continue the Shrek saga. With its signature blend of irreverent humor, heartwarming themes, and vibrant animation, Shrek 5 promises to delight audiences of all ages once again.

The rumored release year for Shrek 5 is 2025, though no concrete date has been confirmed. Initially set for 2020, the movie faced delays, and updates on production have been sparse. Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri hinted at its development earlier this year but provided no production or release timeline. A big question about the sequel has been whether the Shrek 5 cast will feature the original voice actors who made the characters so popular.

Mike Myer’s comments on the subject are great news for Shrek 5, and though they don’t provide a release date for the new Shrek movie, they at least indicate his enthusiasm for returning to the franchise “every year” if he could. After a 13-year hiatus from the Shrek franchise, Eddie Murphy will reportedly return as Donkey in Shrek 5.

We could even see a Donkey spinoff movie in the near future. Antonio Banderas has delighted fans with the character of Puss in Boots, and with the success of his own spin-off series, he believes it’s time for the swashbuckling feline to return to the Shrek universe that started it all. Despite a slew of script-related updates over the years, no actual story details have been revealed about the long-awaited Shrek 5.

With Shrek and Fiona settled down after Shrek 4, something big would need to happen to dislodge the two from their happy ever after. One avenue that could be explored would be Shrek and Fiona’s kids. A villain has yet to be confirmed for Shrek 5.

However, rumors point to the Pied Piper, who was a supporting character in Shrek Forever After, becoming the big bad in the upcoming sequel.
