After a 15-year hiatus since “Shrek Forever After,” the beloved green ogre returns in the highly anticipated “Shrek 5.” Universal Pictures released the first teaser trailer on February 27, 2025, reigniting excitement among fans worldwide. The film is slated for a Christmas 2026 release.
In the movie, you may have seen Mike Myers as Shrek, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, and Eddie Murphy as Donkey. They will all be back as voice actors. Zoe Kravitz joins the group as Felicia, Shrek, and Fiona’s teenage daughter. It was a big surprise.
She was first seen with her brothers in “Shrek the Third” this year. She’s now a lively teen with trendy nose rings and red hair like her mom’s. People are excited about Zendaya’s role, especially since she tweeted in 2017 that she still loves the “Shrek” series.

The clip shows a funny scene where Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Felicia look at the Magic Mirror, which leads to a collection of internet jokes about Shrek. This meta-commentary on Shrek’s cultural effect has pictures of Shrek in funny situations that make the characters feel different things. The funny part is when Pinocchio’s nose grows even though he says he has nothing to do with it. Few fans are happy about the new type of animation, even though the sneak peek excited them.
On social media sites, people have talked about how Shrek’s face has wrinkles now and how Donkey’s fur is turning gray. Some watchers think the characters look old, while others don’t like how the animation is more finished and rounded compared to previous movies. These comments show how deeply fans feel connected to the original look of the series.
Walt Dohrn is in charge of directing “Shrek 5”. He has worked on previous movies in the series as a writer and artist on “Shrek 2” and “Shrek the Third,” and as head of the story on “Shrek Forever After.” His deep knowledge of the Shrek world makes me hopeful for a continuing that strikes a good balance between old and new stories.
As the release date gets closer, fans can’t wait to see how “Shrek 5” will mix old and new characters, especially now that Zendaya is playing Felicia. The movie wants to respect the work of its predecessors while also adding modern touches that will appeal to both old fans and new viewers.
