Shrek 5: New film's release date delayed for second time

The much-anticipated release of Shrek 5 has been delayed for a second time.

DreamWorks Animation originally scheduled the sequel for next summer, but pushed it back to December 2026.

It has now shifted the release back further to June 2027, according to US website Deadline.

BBC Newsbeat has approached DreamWorks Animation and Universal for comment.

Although the report didn't give a reason, fans and news outlets have speculated that the delay was to avoid competing with Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Part III, and Ice Age 6, which are all set to hit cinemas in December 2026.
