This is not an exercise! It's been a long time since the audience was traveling far, away, but "Shrek 5" will bring us back there next year. As proof of this, DreamWorks has released the first, short attacher for the long-awaited sequel-that introduces us to the cast. Most of them are celebrities (or votes instead), but there is a new, very important accessory: Welcome to the family, Zendaya.

While the above -mentioned teaser does not explicitly clear who plays the Starval of "Dunne" and "Capers" in the film, people in Hollywood reporter They confirmed that she expressed the daughter of Shrek and Fiona. The striker also confirms that Mike Meyers (Shrek), Cameron Diaz (Fiona) and Eddie Murphy (donkey) also play their famous roles. The involvement of Diaz is not insignificant, seeing how she He went from Hollywood for years before returning to Netflix's "Beck" Earlier this year.

As for Zendaya, the arrest of it adds serious power to the Starvali to Shrek 5. The actor is probably best known for her voice work as a character in the contemporary classic that is "Smallfoot" of DreamWorks. Or maybe just feels like a modern classic thanks to that hopelessly attractive viral video It made the circles a few years ago. In all seriousness, however, Zendaya is an absolute supermitwire whose loans include MJ in the film trilogy led by Tom Holland, led by Spiderman, "The Largest Show" and "Euphoria" of the FBO.

Universal and DreamWorks first confirmed "Shrek 5" last year. Walt Dohorn, who worked on all three of the previous extensions of "Shrek" in a certain capacity, sits on the chair of the director of this, along with Conrad Vernon (aka ginger man's voice), with Brad Ablson ("miniatures: the rise of the board"). Conspiracy details remain under the wrappers for now, but it is clear that there will be a little jump in time. It makes sense, given that the last sequel, "Shrek forever," came out forever in 2010.

DreamWorks, for his part, has had success in recent years revising popular franchises, including "Kung Fu Panda 4" and, More importantly, Puss-off spus-off "in 2023 in boots: The last wish." Given how well he has done both critically and financially, it seems fair to guess the return of the leader of the Dreamworks leader will be an even bigger event. After all, this is a $ 4 billion property we are talking about. Plus, we had built nostalgia worth a decade and a half. The audience will be clean ready for this when it arrives to help close 2026.

Indeed, generational nostalgia has caused some of the biggest hits in recent history, the main among them the "Jurassic World" and "Starwells War: Episode VII - the power wakes up". Family films have also proved to be particularly legal in December late. With the added starfish as Zendaya, this really has a mega-blockbuster written all over it.

"Shrek 5" opens in theaters on December 23, 2026.
