\n\tUniversal and DreamWorks Animation have postponed the fifth \u201cShrek\u201d film from Dec. 23, 2026,\u00a0to June 30, 2027. This is the second release date delay for \u201cShrek 5,\u201d which was originally set for July 2026. The studio didn\u2019t give a reason for the hold-up, but Universal has fielded outsized success with animated fare \u2014 such as \u201cDespicable Me\u201d franchise, \u201cHow to Train Your Dragon\u201d and \u201cThe Super Mario Bros. Movie\u201d \u2014 in the summer months.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn its new release date, \u201cShrek 5\u201d will open less than a week after Sony\u2019s animated \u201cSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.\u201d On its prior date in December 2026, the family film was scheduled to debut in the wake of Disney\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Doomsday\u201d and \u201cIce Age 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of the move, Universal has shifted up the premiere of Illumination\u2019s Untitled Event Film to April 16, 2027, instead of its original late June date.<\/p>\n

\n\tMike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are returning to the fictional land of Far, Far Away in their signature roles as Shrek, Donkey and Fiona, while Zendaya is joining the cast. \u201cShrek 5\u201d\u00a0will be directed by franchise veterans Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShrek 5\u201d will debut on the big screen a quarter-century after the original 2001 animated smash, which put a spin on the concept of Happily Ever After, as told by a misunderstood ogre and his merry band of fairytale folk. \u201cShrek\u201d became an instant hit with nearly $500 million globally as well as the first-ever Oscar winner for animated feature. The film was followed by three sequels 2004\u2019s \u201cShrek 2,\u201d 2007\u2019s \u201cShrek the Third\u201d and 2010\u2019s \u201cShrek Forever After\u201d and two \u201cPuss in Boots\u201d spinoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new release date for \u201cShrek 5\u201d is Far, Far Away.
