Finally, we're getting a Donkey spinoff movie! Oh, and Shrek 5.
As Shrek approaches its 23rd anniversary, Eddie Murphy has dropped some seriously big news. The beloved green ogre and his hilarious sidekick Donkey are making a comeback! In a recent chat, Murphy revealed that not only is Shrek 5 in production, but a Donkey spinoff movie is also on the way.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life
Eddie Murphy recently shared the news that production for Shrek 5 started a few months back, and he’s already into the first act. The plan? To roll out the Shrek movie first, set for a 2025 release, followed by the solo Donkey film. Given the success of recent animated films like Kung Fu Panda 4 and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, excitement for more adventures in Shrek's swampy world is higher than ever.
Shrek has become something of a legend on the internet. It's not just about the movies themselves—Shrek and Donkey have become iconic meme material, living on in internet lore beyond the screen. Fans of the series can recite lines, remember scenes vividly, and of course, share memes that keep the characters alive in digital culture.
Understandably, then, millions are buzzing with anticipation, ready to dive back into the fairy-tale mishmash that Shrek delivers so well. With Murphy’s charm, expect plenty of laughs and maybe even some new quotable moments. Stay tuned, because the ogre and his lovable Donkey aren't done with us yet!
