Zendaya’s dream of being a part of the beloved Shrek franchise has finally come true with the announcement of her role in Shrek 5. The actress has expressed her love for the series dating back to 2017, highlighting it as one of her favorite films to watch, even in her adult years. In the upcoming film, she will portray Felicia, the daughter of Shrek, alongside key actors Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy reprising their iconic roles.
The news of Zendaya’s casting comes as a pleasant surprise to fans, considering the long gap between the release of the last film, Shrek Forever After, in 2010 and the upcoming Shrek 5, which is set to hit theaters on December 23, 2026. The teaser for the film hints at a new storyline that may appeal to a younger audience, featuring the main characters in a Snow White-esque scene with a magic mirror.
While the initial plan was for Shrek to be a five-film arc, there has been no confirmation on whether Shrek 5 will be the final installment in the series. However, fans can look forward to revisiting the magic of the Shrek universe and possibly introducing it to a new generation when the film premieres in the holiday season. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new chapter in the Shrek saga.
