About DreamWorks Animation's Shrek 5 (in theaters June 30, 2027) 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.

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.

Surprise! Aspyr is remastering A Shrek game. [Insert funny Shrek joke here] Aspyr Media, the team behind the recent Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth ports for Nintendo platforms, has apparently got a remaster of Shrek 2 in the pipeline. This announcement has seemingly been leaked ahead of schedule via an official Xbox Store listing. A GTA 6-style promotional trailer has also surfaced online. This action-adventure game was originally released in 2004 on multiple platforms including the GameCube. The Game Boy Advance also got its own version. As for this remaster, according to the now-removed store listing, it will apparently include improved graphics, new features, and up to four-player co-op (local and online). A release window hasn't been revealed just yet, and the only platform Shrek 2 Remastered is confirmed for at the moment is Xbox, but Aspyr usually releases these retro games on all modern platforms. It's believed the official reveal could take place next week during the ID@Xbox Showcase, as Shrek features in the teaser trailer. The same company previously helped out with the original Mac port.
