Everybody’s favorite ogre has a brand new search for Shrek 5, however for some cause solely Xbox appears to love it.
It has been 15 years since Shrek final obtained a film, however in 2026, Shrek 5 will lastly be releasing, and it even simply bought its first teaser trailer yesterday. The trailer in query is pointedly memey, with Shrek and Donkey asking the magic mirror who the fairest of all of them is, and that is Shrek himself apparently, as he scrolls by way of fake TikToks of him sporting sun shades, doing a dance in a PVC swimsuit that you will most likely bear in mind as a development on TikTok, and one among his face Photoshopped onto a really buff physique. That then cuts to… properly, Shrek and Donkey, solely with a slight redesign, their first because the collection kicked off greater than 20 years in the past.
Fiona has one too, all three of them performed by their authentic voice actors, i.e. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. However they’re additionally being joined by Zendaya, who’s enjoying Shrek and Fiona’s daughter Felicia, a casting that makes excellent sense provided that the unique movies all the time employed whoever was large on the time too. The factor is, not everyone seems to be a fan of Shrek’s new look. Simply head to the replies on the Shrek Twitter account’s posting of the trailer and you will see feedback like “what’s up with their faces?” and “we modified Sonic, we are able to do it once more.”
Personally, I actually do not assume it seems to be unhealthy in any respect. Bizarre, positive, however that is simply because I have been seeing this character all over the place for nearly my whole life, however the animation itself is sort of good, and rather more vigorous than the collection beforehand has been – clearly Dreamworks is following up a contact on the genuinely nice Puss in Boots: The Final Want.
There’s one different particular person, or entity, that likes it, although: Xbox UK. Sure, I too query the state of selling as of late, however Xbox UK has shared that it thinks “we’re so again child.” I am probably not positive we would have liked any tackle the state of Shrek’s redesign from Xbox, however we’ve got it, so… that is that! Cannot wait to listen to what Nintendo UK thinks of the total trailer.
Shrek 5 is at the moment slated for launch July 1, 2026.
