Eddie Murphy just revealed he’s already started work on “Shrek 5” — the long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s “Shrek Forever After” — and that his wisecracking Donkey is getting his own standalone movie, too.
“I recorded the first act [of ‘Shrek 5’] and we’ll be doing it this year, we’ll finish it up,” the actor told Collider in an interview published on Monday. “Donkey’s gonna have his own movie. We’re gonna do Donkey as well.”
However, Murphy clarified he would not be working on both films at once, noting, “I started recording ‘Shrek,’ I think it’s coming out in 2025, and we’re doing a Donkey one next.”
