Shrek 5 Voice Cast Working, Spinoff Production Expected September

Eddie Murphy has provided updates on the upcoming Shrek 5 and the Donkey spinoff, revealing that Shrek 5 is still in the voice recording phase with its release scheduled for December 2026, while production on the Donkey spinoff, focusing on Donkey’s life with his dragon wife and their hybrid children, will start in September. Despite fans' mixed reactions to the Shrek 5 teaser and some skepticism about the spinoff's premise, Murphy expressed enthusiasm about the projects and shared that the voice actors record separately. Additionally, Murphy spoke about his son Eric's quiet marriage to Martin Lawrence's daughter Jasmin, highlighting the longstanding friendship between himself and Lawrence, and humorously doubting that their grandchild will inherit their comedic talents. He also discussed his laid-back parenting style, emphasizing that loving your child naturally guides you to be a good parent. Murphy's comments underscore both his professional commitments to the Shrek franchise and his personal life, reflecting a blend of career updates and family insights.
