Zendaya Cast as Shrek and Fiona’s Daughter in Shrek 5
Get ready, Shrek fans! The beloved green ogre is making a comeback in Shrek 5, set to hit theaters in December 2026. The original cast, including Mike Myers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Fiona, and Eddie Murphy as Donkey, is returning to reprise their iconic roles. But there’s a fresh addition to the Shrek family: Zendaya is joining the cast as the voice of Shrek and Fiona’s teenage daughter. The first teaser from Universal Pictures already has fans buzzing, and it looks like this new chapter in the Shrek saga will be worth the wait.
What We Know About Shrek 5
Shrek 5 has been in the works for years, with the idea first mentioned back in 2016. The film was initially slated for a 2019 release, but delays, including the global pandemic, pushed it back. Now, the production is back on track, and fans can finally mark their calendars for December 2026.
Zendaya’s character, a red-haired ogress with striking similarities to her parents, is already making waves. The teaser gives us a glimpse of her rebellious teenage persona, and it’s clear she’s inherited her mother’s fiery hair and her father’s iconic eyes.
The Return of the Original Cast
One of the most exciting aspects of Shrek 5 is the return of the original cast. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy are all back, bringing their beloved characters to life once again. Chris Meledandri, CEO of Illumination, confirmed that bringing back the original cast was a top priority, and it looks like he’s succeeded.
Eddie Murphy also hinted at a potential spin-off focused on Donkey, which could expand the Shrek universe even further. While details are still under wraps, it’s clear that the Shrek franchise is far from over.
What to Expect
With a new character and the return of fan favorites, Shrek 5 promises to deliver a mix of nostalgia and fresh storytelling. Fans are hoping it will surpass the fourth installment and capture the magic of the original films. The teaser has already set high expectations, and the wait for December 2026 is going to feel like forever.
