- We are nearing the twenty-fifth anniversary of when Shrek first graced our screens, and it has been nearly 15 years since the last outing of Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona. The good news? It won't be long until you see them again. In an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub for his upcoming film Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Eddie Murphy revealed some exciting news for fans of the beloved Shrek franchise. Not only is a new Shrek movie currently in production, but Murphy also confirmed that Donkey-one of the franchise’s most beloved characters-will be getting his own standalone film.
During the interview, Weintraub touched on the recent successes of animated films like Kung Fu Panda 4 and the latest Puss in Boots movie, both of which have reignited interest in the Shrek series. Kung Fun Panda 4 grossed $545.3 million worldwide following its release this year, taking the total global cume of the franchise to over $2.3 billion, while Puss in Boots: The Last Wish pulled in a barnstorming $485.2 million globally, which was over 5x its reported production budget. Both films, helpfully, were also critically praised.
In his response, Murphy revealed, “We started doing Shrek 4 or [Shrek] 5 months ago. 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].” Murphy, who has voiced the lovable and hilarious Donkey since the original Shrek film debuted in 2001, elaborated on the plans for his character's solo film. When asked if he was recording for both projects simultaneously, he clarified:
“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.”

Rip to all my brothers who couldn’t live long enough to see Shrek 5😔
Damn bro I’m so sorry 😢
😭😭😭😭😭😖😖🤧
I give my ❤❤❤ for your good brothers 😞
We’ll honor them by thinking of them as we watch it🙏
Who the all star singer
Him casually revealing they are doing a Donkey movie without Dreamworks even announcing it🤣🤣
Its already public information. They revealed it at a financial call I think.
@@edwin99901 Really?! When?
@@pedroaugusto102011 either early this year or sometime last tear
It was indeed announced in an interview last year. Kind of casually in the midst of a few other titles as well. Like: HOW does one not announce this in the biggest way possible 🤣
“We’re doing a Shrek, and we’re doing a Dunkey” 😂
Shrek movie then a donkey 🐴 movie ... It'll be good seeing both on the big screen again
“ DUNKey! “ 🤣🤣💀
I was thinking the same thing. He pronounces it funny 😂
I always thought that Donkey deserved to have his own spin-off movie. He was the original Shrek sidekick before Puss.
Yes!! The world is healing 😭😭
I’m so damn excited for Shrek 5
Me too I hope gabby dollhouse would be delayed and maybe if shrek 5 gets a September release date
Or maybe in May like all the four Shrek movies did.
@@noahsalsberg9915 I hope they cancelled gabby dollhouse movie
I'm looking forward to see Eddie Murphy in his Spin-Off Donkey movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Same hopefully it gets a 2026 release date
🎉 Welcome Back Childhood 🧌🫏🧌🐈
rip dad you would have loved the donkey spin off
We also need a new Nutty Professor film too. Can't wait for more Shrek 5 and Donkey.
I heard a rumor that a 3rd nutty professor will take place years after the marriage with Denise where Sherman has a son but as his son gets older, the Buddy Love personality take over him.
Hell yeah I hope so. I imagine playing multiple characters is winding especially now that he's older but man we need a Norbit 2
edit: although, they did kinda wrap up norbit, we just need good ol eddie like that again
Donkey's origin story.
He escapes pleasure island after becoming a Donkey
Donkey's getting a spin-off movie
HELL YEAH DONKEY DAWG!!! Shrek 5 and Donkey spin off baby!!!!!!! This year is full of surprises!!!!! He could be right about Shrek 5 coming out next year because they confirmed it months ago on LinkedIn resume from a NBCUniversal intern
Looking forward to the Dunkey spin off 😂
Crazy they’re making a Dunkey movie. Started from UA-cam now he is a major player in Hollywood wow!
I like how he pronounces donkey "dunkey"

Man shrek was my and everyone else’s childhood, I’m so hyped. Best believe I’ll be first in line to see it, grown ass man and all 😂
Does this mean that Shrek Forever After title is changed to Shrek in the Ogre Resistance?
Not really but they might advertise it at some point. Why don’t you ask the producer or director on twitter about it?
DUNKEEEE 🫏
I’ve always wanted to see a movie all about Donkey. Especially if it involves his past. Before he met Shrek. I’ve always been curious about his past all my life.
Dunkey spinoff ayyyy
Seriously do we need a Shrek 5? Shrek ended perfectly with Shrek 4.
This is like Toy Story
@videogamedunkey 🤣 u better clip this
Studios going crazy right now
This world needs another Oscar for Shrek and we are gonna get it.
Knack is so back
Yes!! Better be good as Last Wish hopefully ❤.
I believe as long as they have a lot of creative freedom and put a lot of passion into it. I believe it will be better.
Is dunkey , Donkey's brother? Lol😂
A Donkey movie would be funny af 😂
🙏🏽
Shrek Forever After was a near perfect end to the series… but damn I still fooking excited for this!
Hopefully it'll be as good as the other Shrek films
🎉
I think Shrek 5 is gonna release in 2026 for the 25th anniversary of the franchise , also in 2025 Dreamworks already is gonna release 3 new movie
dunkey
The rumours are true
There has to be the nutty professor 3 to show Sherman his wife and kids. I have a script... Sherman has to retire as a professor and juggling with 5 kids that can be played by Murphys own kids with fat make up. Loses his wife (Janet Jackson) then comes up with an invention of time travel or something big.... no pun intended then goes back relive there memories over the past 25 years and gets his wife back. What you think of that script Eddie Murphy ?.
Thank you GOD!
Dunkey
😮💨 … some kidZ of today will never understand 🥹🥹🖤🌟👌
LFG
Dunky
It's never Ogre
Eddie gonna get fired....
Hope not 😅
Lol they really are blind aren't they? Kung Fu Panda 4 Did not do well at all, it was a disaster.
He really is just a money grabbing narcissist that doesn’t care about the movie
I really don't see what everyone is excited about. Look how awful kfp4 is
Says you, There are people who like the movie, get over it.
OK, well you have to look at it this way kung fu panda four was going to be an entirely different movie before Mike Mitchell’s clown ass decided to change it up he had full creative control which I’ll never for the life of me understand why they let that clown have full creative freedom. Stephanie the co Director had an entirely different vision for the film. I don’t think this will be the case with Shrek 5 as long as they have a good team. And they put a lot of passion into it. I believe it could be as good as the last wish.
@@Shrek12381 who tf is zhen and where is tigress
@@ksspqf9 I'll admit that zhen is not the best kfp character ever, but she is not horrible, and yeah it would've been nice to have the furious five, but overall I like the movie, It did well for what it is.
so what does that gotta do with shrek
My Childhood is Back!
Shrek is the Greatest Animated Film Franchise Ever Made! 💚 🧅 🫏 👸
Eddie doesn't look a day over 40 and the man is 63😭
