\n\tShrek<\/a> and Donkey have big plans in the teaser trailer<\/a> for the forthcoming Shrek 5<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tUniversal Pictures<\/a> released the footage Tuesday ahead of the sequel feature hitting theaters in summer 2027. Zendaya<\/a> is among the newcomers to the voice cast that returns Mike Myers<\/a> as the titular ogre, Eddie Murphy<\/a> as his best pal Donkey and Cameron Diaz<\/a> as Princess Fiona. <\/p>\n

\n\tWalt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon direct the DreamWorks Animation<\/a> film that counts Brad Ableson as co-director. Michael McCullers penned the screenplay, with Christopher Meledandri credited for the story and producing alongside Gina Shay. Zendaya is set to voice Shrek and Fiona\u2019s daughter, Felicia, while Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> and Skyler Gisondo<\/a> play her two brothers, Fergus and Farkle, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer for Shrek 5 features Donkey\u2019s delight upon hearing that he and Shrek are intending to team up again. \u201cIt\u2019s really happening,\u201d Donkey exclaims. \u201cDo you know what that means? I need a makeover \u2014 get my arms yoked and my back jacked, my abs ab-ded, maybe even tighten up my badonkadonk.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tLater, Donkey says, \u201cShrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends off on another whirlwind, big-city adventure.\u201d The trailer ends with the lead characters in jail.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the moments getting attention on social media is a scene in which the Gingerbread Man declares, \u201cI\u2019m caked up like a freaking bakery,\u201d after two gingerbread ladies smack the gumdrops attached to his backside. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Shrek films are loosely based on William Steig\u2019s 1990 picture book, Shrek! The feature franchise kicked off with Shrek hitting theaters 25 years ago in May 2001. <\/p>\n

\n\tFocusing on the titular misunderstood ogre and his fairytale friends, the series\u2019 four theatrical movies have surpassed $2.9 billion at the global box office. The most recent title was 2010\u2019s\u00a0Shrek Forever After. It also spawned two spinoff movies centered on Antonio Banderas\u2019 Puss in Boots, with\u00a0Puss in Boots: The Last Wish\u00a0arriving in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that published late last year, Murphy admitted that voicing Donkey can be physically taxing. \u201cYou have a headache after a\u00a0Shrek\u00a0session,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cThe donkey has a lot of singing. You\u2019re on 10, and you\u2019re doing it over and over again. The great thing, though, is it\u2019s appreciated. Everybody loves the movie.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shrek and Donkey have big plans in the teaser trailer for the forthcoming Shrek 5.
