When is shrek 4 coming out

New features could come in, but, with no details on the plot itself, that is hard to tell until we at least see the first trailers. One interesting casting decision concerns the fact that Cameron Diaz retired from acting in , which means that if Princess Fiona does return then it could be with an entirely new voice. Mike Myers , Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas are all expected to return, as producers look to stick as close to the original cast as possible. The 'Shrek 5' release date No release date has been confirmed yet, despite 'Shrek 4' having been released back in The plot of 'Shrek 5' Michael McCullers , the man behind 'The Boss Baby' and 'Austin Powers', worked on the script and confirmed in that it had been completed, but no details on the plot itself have been revealed just yet.

Shrek was aiming for a release date, but despite the voice cast confirming a script had been written it all went quiet. Then Eddie Murphy told CinemaBlend that a release was likely, but that was just an estimation and the year came and went. The latest guess from Fandom is 30th September, with a home media release apparently set for November With the global pandemic slowing everything down it remains to be seen if this timeframe is doable.

NBC Universal chief Steve Burke spoke at the time about plans to revive the franchise and other DreamWorks films, and later that year it was reported that the film was set to release in Then in Variety reported that both Shrek 5 and Puss in Boots 2 would indeed be reboots — with the same voice cast however — and that Chris Meledandri, the brain behind Despicable Me, was looking after the revivals.

Given that the franchise was lagging a bit by the time we got to Shrek Forever After and the year gap since, it seems highly likely that Shrek 5 will be a reboot of some kind, which Comcast are likely hoping will kickstart the series. The idea is to bring back the original voice cast, but change the story, so we can expect Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas. Unlike Shrek 5, the Puss in Boots sequel has seen some traction recently.

Shrek 5 was announced all the way back in , but news of its development has been quiet in the years since. Currently, in development, the fifth installment in the popular franchise has had a difficult time of it, but fans will be excited to know that, as of now, it's still happening.

Despite alterations in direction and storylines, it seems to finally be coming out of purgatory for a release sometime in Here's everything that's known about the new Shrek movie, which could prove to be the most exciting Shrek yet! Updated on July 27th, by Kayleena Pierce-Bohen: Though news about the popular fairytale parody has slowed, there are still glimmers of hope for fans that have been patiently waiting for a new Shrek movie for the last decade. Rumors about the plot as well as a tentative release date have kept it diligently in the news and on fans' minds, even if production remains mostly shrouded in mystery.

Whether Shrek 5 will follow familiar territory or offer something completely new for the franchise, it's long overdue! Though he might be one of Dreamworks' best characters , Shrek was an angry misanthrope who preferred to live in his swamp and eschew social interaction until a talking donkey and a quest to save a princess derailed his plans to "die miserable and alone".

After he married Fiona and they created their own family, it seemed like even ogres could have a happily ever after. So what could break the peaceful tranquility of their bucolic lifestyle in a new Shrek movie? According to DevDiscourse , Shrek 5 could focus on Shrek and Fiona's hectic life raising a bunch of teenagers.

If they're even half as stubborn as their parents, their antics will no doubt make for highly entertaining -and ornery- cinema. Despite four prior films, Shrek 5 is rumored to not be picking up where Shrek Forever After left off. Instead, it could be its own stand-alone adventure that will tangentially be connected to the series.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , writer Michael McCullers explained that "it's got a pretty big reinvention behind it" that he can't reveal, but seems like it could tread into reboot territory. It would be difficult to imagine a reboot of the film, especially if a new cast was assembled to portray the beloved characters. If it's a stand-alone film that only features the characters in cameos and instead tells a different story in the Kingdom of Duloc, that might be more acceptable to longtime fans.

Since the release of Shrek Forever After in , the original cast has been ready and waiting to continue the further adventures of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and the rest of the colorful inhabitants of the Kingdom of Duloc.
