Shrek 5: the Movie Nobody Asked for, but We're Probably Going to Get Anyway
The fifth movie about the lovable ogre Shrek may still be released on the big screen, according to Antonio Banderas, the actor who voices Puss in Boots in the popular DreamWorks Animation franchise.
Banderas, who has been working on the films for nearly two decades, stated that there would be one more Puss in Boots movie and that Shrek would likely return as well. The news comes as the studio prepares to release The Last Wish, the latest installment in the Puss in Boots series, in December.
"I've been with this cat for almost 20 years," the actor said (via). "The first time I did Puss In Boots, I was working on broadway, so I did my first session there. I've done five movies now. There is probably gonna be another, and Sherk is probably coming back."
It is unclear at this time whether the other actors from the previous Shrek movies, such as Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, will return for the potential fifth installment. However, given the popularity of the franchise and the continued success of the previous films, it is likely that many of the original cast members will be eager to reprise their iconic roles.
There has been much speculation as to whether or not there is a need for yet another Shrek movie, as the franchise has been going strong for nearly two decades. However, given the timeless appeal of the characters and the enduring popularity of the films, it is likely that there is still a significant audience for a fifth movie. Additionally, the continued success of the Puss in Boots spin-off series suggests that there is still a demand for new content within the Shrek universe. In the end, only time will tell whether or not the fifth Shrek movie will come to fruition.
Fans of the Shrek franchise have mixed reactions to the potential release of a fifth movie. Some believe that the series has already reached its natural conclusion and that a reboot or a new installment would be unnecessary. Others, however, are excited at the possibility of a prequel movie that explores the backstory of the titular character. Many fans are curious about Shrek's past and believe that a prequel movie would be a fresh and interesting way to continue the franchise.
While some are eager to see a sequel to the beloved animated series, others are open to the idea of a reboot. Many believe that a successful reimagining of the story could help to keep the original tale alive and make it timeless.
Overall, it seems that the potential release of a fifth Shrek movie has sparked a lively discussion among fans of the series.
