Eddie Murphy revealed in a new interview with Collider that he has already begun voice recording for “Shrek 5” and will next do a Donkey spinoff movie.
Variety reported in April 2023 that Universal and DreamWorks Animation were eyeing a fifth “Shrek” movie with the original cast and a Donkey spinoff film for Murphy. It now seems like those projects are definitely happening, according to Murphy. Variety has reached out to Universal for comment. “We started doing months ago,” Murphy told Collider. “I did this. I recorded the first act, and we’ll be doing it this year, we’ll finish it up.
The original “Shrek” turned DreamWorks Animation into a powerhouse studio with its $487 million worldwide gross. The movie became the first Oscar winner in the animated feature category. “Shrek 2” grossed $928 million. Both films competed for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. While “Shrek the Third” and “Shrek Forever After” earned less acclaim than the first two movies, they still managed to gross $813 million and $752 million worldwide, respectively.
