In an interview with Collider, Eddie Murphy revealed that he has already started recording the voice for the anticipated “Shrek 5” and confirmed that he will star in a spin-off based on his character Donkey. “Donkey will have his own movie. We will do Donkey too. So, we’ll make a ‘Shrek’ and a Donkey movie,” he said.
The actor explained that the films are not currently in production and believes that we will soon see both productions: “I started recording ‘Shrek,’ I think it will be released in 2025. And we’ll do Donkey’s right after.”
The “Shrek” franchise began in 2001 and spawned three sequels, ‘Shrek 2’ in 2004, ‘Shrek the Third’ in 2007, and ‘Shrek Forever After’ in 2010, with Murphy voicing the loyal companion of the ogre in all four films. Other original cast members include Mike Myers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, and Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots.
DreamWorks Animation Studios, the producer of the films, has not yet confirmed Murphy’s updates.
