🧅 How many days until Shrek 5?

The ogre returns

Shrek 5 marks the first main-series Shrek film in a long time, reviving one of DreamWorks Animation's signature franchises. The original quartet mixed fairy-tale parody with real heart, and the fifth film aims to bring that mix back to a new generation of moviegoers while giving longtime fans a reunion.

DreamWorks has kept plot details close, but the return of the swamp and its familiar faces is the headline. Expectations are high for the humor, the music-driven set pieces and the affectionate skewering of storybook tropes that defined the series.

The voices behind the swamp

Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are all reprising their roles as Shrek, Donkey and Fiona, reuniting the core trio that made the films work. Their chemistry has always been central to the comedy, and their return is a big part of why the fifth film is generating so much anticipation.

Joining them is Zendaya, cast as Shrek and Fiona's daughter Felicia. A new generation stepping into the swamp gives the film a fresh angle while keeping the family at the heart of the story.
