In the same interview where he revealed that a Donkey movie was in the works, Eddie Murphy also confirmed the Shrek 5 release date window.
Speaking to Collider, Murphy revealed a Donkey movie that was in the works, and in the process revealed that Shrek 5 had actually already begun production and voice work “months ago.”
“We started doing Shrek 4 or [Shrek] 5 months ago,” Murphy said. “I did this, I recorded the first act, and we’ll be doing it this year, we’ll finish it up. Shrek is coming out, and Donkey’s gonna have his own movie. We’re gonna do Donkey as well. So we’re gonna do a Shrek, and we’re doing a Donkey [movie].”
When is the Shrek 5 release date window?
Murphy went on to mention that Shrek 5’s release date window is set for sometime next year, and also revealed that, following that, a Donkey movie would be coming.
“No, not at the same time. I started recording Shrek, I think it’s coming out in 2025, and we’re doing a Donkey one next,” said Murphy.
Talks of a fifth Shrek and Donkey movie have been happening for a few months now, with Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri revealing that Shrek 5 was in the works last year and Eddie Murphy talking about a Donkey film around the same time.
