Cameron Diaz is returning to the 'Shrek' franchise after 12 years for the fifth film with Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers
Dreamworks announced on Tuesday, July 9, that the trio will reprise their roles in the fifth installment of the beloved franchise, whose first film premiered in 2001. Diaz, 51, will return as the voice of Princess Fiona, while Murphy, 66, will voice Donkey and Myers, 61, will voice the titular character.
Last month, Murphy told Collider that he had already begun working on the film, as well as a movie dedicated to his character. Before Shrek 5 hits theaters in 2026, fans will see Diaz make her return to acting in Netflix's comedy action film, Back In Action, starring longtime friend and two-time costar Jaime Foxx. The duo previously starred in 1999's Any Given Sunday and the Annie remake in 2014.
Diaz, who married Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden in 2015, went on to explain that she wanted to take control of how her life looked outside of the entertainment industry after realizing she wasn't happy.
