Shrek 5 is in development and may have original cast

shrek 5 come! In addition to confirming development, Chris MeledandriCEO of lighting and creative partner of dreamworksrevealed negotiations for returning the original cast of voice actors in the English version of the film – names like Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz It is Eddie Murphy.

“It’s not that different from the process we had on the movie Mario,” meledandri said when comparing the experience in the two productions in an interview with Variety. “You look at the core elements that audiences liked and do your best to keep those elements. Then there’s the hard work of building new elements and characters. The original cast is a big part of that.”

Optimism about the universe of shrek comes after the good public and critical reception of the spin-off Puss in Boots 2: The Last Order (2022). “if the dreamworks come with a new movie shrekI would accept in two seconds,” murphy stated. “When they released the movie Cat in BootsI thought, ‘They should have made a movie of Dumbhe is funnier than the Cat in Boots.'”

meledandri was encouraged by the comments of the interpreter of the Dumb and did not rule out a parallel production for the character.

Why did Nicolas Cage turn down the voice of Shrek?

Nicolas Cage was invited to dub shrek per Jeffrey Katzenberg (head of dreamworks and friend of cage), but declined to participate in the film.

The reason is not in the comic aspect of the animation, nor in the uninviting appearance of the Ogre. According to Nicolas revealed in an interview with Today in 2013, rescued by Screen Ranthis biggest concern was representation for children.

“Well, the news said it was for vanity. I think it’s a little strong. The truth is, I’m not afraid of looking ugly in a movie… When you’re in an animation, it says more about how kids they’ll see you, and I care about that,” he said.

Some personality traits of shrek may not have pleased cage. Furthermore, her son was five years old when production on the movie started in 1995.
