About DreamWorks Animation's Shrek 5 This summer, DreamWorks Animation invites audiences on a thrilling, magical new comedy adventure from one of the most beloved global animated franchises of all time: Shrek 5. Comedy legends Mike Myers, Oscar(R) nominee Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz return to their signature roles as Shrek, Donkey and Fiona. Emmy winning superstar Zendaya (The Odyssey, Dune franchise) joins the cast as Shrek and Fiona's daughter Felicia, along with Marcello Hernandez (Saturday Night Live, Happy Gilmore 2) and Skyler Gisondo (Superman, Booksmart) as Felicia's brothers, Fergus and Farkle. Shrek 5 is directed by acclaimed filmmakers and Shrek franchise veterans Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn. Vernon was a member of the directing team on the Academy Award(R) nominated Shrek 2 as well as on DreamWorks Animation's Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and Monsters vs. Aliens. Vernon has also provided the voice of Shrek fan-favorite Gingerbread Man, aka "Gingy," across all titles in the Shrek Universe. Dohrn worked on the second and third Shrek films as a writer and artist and as Head of Story on the fourth film. Dohrn also voiced the character of Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After. Dohrn served as co-director on the first Trolls film and directed Trolls World Tour and Trolls Band Together. The film is produced by returning producer Gina Shay (Trolls franchise), who produced Shrek Forever After. The executive producers are Shrek franchise veterans Adam Adamson and John H. Williams, who have worked on every film in the series, and Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri. The film is co-directed by Brad Ableson (Minions: The Rise of Gru, The Simpsons). For the past two decades, audiences have been enchanted by the delightful, irreverent adventures of a misunderstood ogre and his ragtag group of roguish fairytale folk, based on the book by acclaimed author William Steig. Beginning in 2001 with Shrek, the winner of the first ever Academy Award(R) for Best Animated Feature, Shrek, Donkey and Fiona (along with their friends, family and tormentors), have grown into an indelible part of pop culture, reminding audiences around the globe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The four Shrek films have earned more than $2.9 billion worldwide, spawning a global live-touring show, an award-winning Broadway musical that earned eight Tony nominations and 12 Drama Desk nominations, plus an immersive, top-tourist destination in London and popular events and attractions across Universal Destinations & Experiences' theme parks.

BoxLunch set to open first Corridor location at Coral Ridge Mall. CREDIT CORAL RIDGE MALL BoxLunch, a popular TV show and movie merchandise retailer, is set to arrive at the Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville later this year. According to a Facebook post from the Coral Ridge Mall account, the chain of retail stores described as "the ultimate pop culture paradise" will be housed between the Kay Jewelers and Bath and Body Works stores in the mall. Opened in 2015, BoxLunch (owned by retailer Hot Topic) "is a civic-minded web + brick and mortar based specialty retailer offering a curated collection of licensed and non-licensed merchandise," describes the retailer's website. "With every $10 spent on our pop culture-themed product offering of apparel, accessories, home goods, gift and novelty, and collectibles, BoxLunch will help provide a meal secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks." They specialize in popular media brands such as Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Harry Potter, etc. while selling merchandise from clothing items to accessories like backpacks to collectible figurines. With their food donation policy, they have accounted for more than 175 million meals, according to their website. This location will mark Iowa's third BoxLunch, and the second to open this year, just behind the Northpark Mall location in Davenport (opened in July 2026) and the Jordan Creek Town Center location in West Des Moines (opened in 2017). According to data company ScrapeHero, BoxLunch has 300 locations across the nation, spanning from coast to coast. The exact opening date is to be determined, according to the post, but the barrier adorned with BoxLunch's logo promises that the store will open before the end of the year.
Official Ultron art features 3 new looks at his robot form in VisionQuest. Marvel just unveiled a new look at Ultron's robot form in its upcoming Disney+ series, VisionQuest. Ultron is returning in the Disney+ series VisionQuest, eleven years after his last live-action appearance. Ahead of his comeback, Marvel has officially revealed three new looks at his robot form. The series, the final installment of Wanda Maximoff and Vision's trilogy that began with WandaVision, premieres on October 14. It follows White Vision as he tries to find meaning in his existence, and to do so, he consults numerous AIs created by Tony Stark, including Ultron, whose design was closely guarded by Marvel before the show's first public trailer was unveiled at Disney's D23 Expo. Popular retailer BoxLunch unveiled three VisionQuest T-shirts featuring distinct artwork of Ultron's robot form. One zeroes in on the murderous AI's helmeted head, a design first seen in 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. This is undoubtedly Ultron's best head design, so it is unsurprising that Marvel is bringing it back rather than the other Ultron forms from that movie. The artwork places his head inside red and black geometric lines styled after a circuit board, and his red eyes make the design look more intimidating while leaning into the character's mechanical nature. The second look shows Ultron's entire body. The artwork features a dark silhouette of the AI's frame embedded inside block letters spelling out his name, with pixel-styled dots scattered across the design like fragments of loose data, which fits the story the series is trying to tell. The final design is the most detailed of the three. It renders Ultron's body like a technical schematic in pale blue line art, his endoskeleton intricately drawn with numerous joints and seams visible to the naked eye. Ultron's robot design is expected to appear a decent number of times in the show, but his human form, played by James Spader, will feature far more, as the trailer made clear. VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas explained the reasoning to Polygon, pushing back on fan speculation that the choice was a budgetary restriction: "People say it's a budget thing; it's not, it's a James Spader thing. I love James Spader. Who doesn't love James Spader? I just want to see James, and I want to see Bettany." He also reassured fans that they'll "get plenty of robot action in the show." How essential will Ultron be in VisionQuest? VisionQuest has been described as a story about fathers and sons, which automatically makes Ultron's presence extremely important given his history with Vision. In Age of Ultron, the villainous synthezoid unintentionally created Vision, which makes him something of a father to him. There is also so much complexity to the character that the film never had the runtime to explore, and that will now be addressed. Vision is also looking for answers, and finding them means exploring the genesis of his existence, which points back to Ultron. Ultron will also serve as a cautionary tale in an AI-driven world, a reminder of how dangerous the technology can be. Despite seemingly being destroyed by Vision at the end of Age of Ultron, the murderous AI found a way to survive. He uploaded himself into Vision's mind and now lives in what Paul Bettany described as a "fantastic prison loft" inside his head, a space the synthezoid visits when he enters rest mode. That mental realm is depicted as a massive mansion populated by other Tony Stark-created AIs, including JARVIS, EDITH, FRIDAY, and DUM-E, all of whom take on human avatars. Ultron's presence also gives the show its major villain and positions him as the "devil" on Vision's shoulder, likely dishing out bad advice to a synthezoid who barely understands how the world works. Vision is basically like a baby at this point, having received a large pool of memories he does not understand and does not know what to do with.
