Shrek, Fiona and Donkey are back for a new fantastical adventure in the first trailer for next year’s “Shrek 5.”
Universal released the “Shrek 5” trailer Tuesday, more than a year ahead of its release on June 30, 2027. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz all return as the voices of Shrek, Donkey and Fiona. They’re joined by Zendaya, “Saturday Night Live” comedian Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo (“Superman,” “Focker-in-Law”) as Shrek and Fiona’s children, Felicia, Fergus and Farkle.
The trailer starts out with a storybook recapping the original tale of Shrek, Fiona and Donkey from their original 2001 movie. Donkey interrupts the narration and says it’s time for a makeover, which may explain the slightly different animation style for the fairytale creatures. The pals travel once again through the magical land of Far, Far Away and encounter a giant, law enforcement and a creepy snowman that’s a parody of Olaf from “Frozen” — “you wanna date a snowman?” he asks from a creepy alleyway. They also reunite with Gingy, who’s affixed two gumdrop buttons to his rear end, proclaiming that he’s “caked up like a friggin’ bakery.” The trailer ends with Shrek, Fiona, their kids and Donkey stuck in a jail cell as Donkey croons “Baby Come Back” and “Roxanne,” much to Shrek’s frustration.
“Shrek 5” marks the franchise’s first installment in 17 years, since “Shrek Forever After” in 2010. Since then, there have been two spinoffs, 2011’s “Puss in Boots” and its 2022 sequel “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.”
