At DreamWorks, thousands of confidential meetings and sealed files have been watered down by Eddie Murphy, who has declared that he is already working on ‘Shrek 5’, confirming the existence of this new installment before his producer.
The American actor responds to Collider and assures that he has recorded the first act of the film, whose premiere is expected in 2025, and has announced that there will be a movie starring Asno. “We started doing ‘Shrek 5’ months ago. I did this, I shot the first act, and we’ll continue this year, finish it. Shrek is coming out and Donkey will have his own movie. We’ll also do ‘Donkey’. So we’re going to make a Shrek, and we’re going to make a Donkey“reports Murphy.
DreamWorks has declined to comment on Murphy’s claims, and for now, the film remains a mystery. Furthermore, despite Murphy’s confirmation of his return as Donkey, It is unknown if the rest of the original cast will return. headed by Mike Myers (Shrek) and Cameron Diaz (Fiona).
The goose that lays the golden eggs
With the premiere of ‘Inside Out 2 (Inside Out 2)’ and its 6.7 million euros collected in Spain the first weekend, setting a new record for animated films at the domestic box office, it is likely that a time of sequels and reboots from major studios is approaching. This wave, which for some is worrying and short-term, was making its first attempts, as in the case of ‘Puss in Boots’, which grossed $481 million worldwide.
With the confirmation of the production of ‘Shrek 5’, which starts with the advantage of nostalgia, we only have to wait for its premiere to explode at the Spanish box office and, worldwide, exceed the 935 million that ‘Shrek 2’ raised, the highest-grossing film in the history of DreamWorks Pictures. The total raised by the six films in the ‘Shrek’ universe is 4 billion dollars, a figure that will increase considerably with this fifth installment of ‘Shrek’ and the spin-off starring Donkey.
