The first Shrek 5 trailer has been released.
Eddie Murphy's Donkey takes center stage in this early look.
The animated film opens in theaters in June 2027.
Everyone's favorite hideous ogre and delusional donkey are finally reunited.
On Tuesday, DreamWorks and Universal released the first trailer for the long-awaited Shrek 5 — yes, Donkey (Eddie Murphy), it's really happening!
"I need a makeover," the talkative sidekick declared. "Get my arms yoked and my back jacked, my abs abd-ed, maybe even tighten my badonkadonk."
Despite Shrek's (Mike Myers) resistance, the beloved duo are headed on "another whirlwind big city adventure." As the trailer reveals, that includes being thrown in prison, alongside Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and her and Shrek's two sons, Fergus (Marcello Hernandez) and Farkle (Skyler Gisondo). Maybe the harshest part of the punishment is Donkey singing The Police's "Roxanne."
