Shrek and Donkey have big plans in the teaser trailer for the forthcoming Shrek 5.

Universal Pictures released the footage Tuesday ahead of the sequel feature hitting theaters in summer 2027. Zendaya is among the newcomers to the voice cast that returns Mike Myers as the titular ogre, Eddie Murphy as his best pal Donkey and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona.

Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon direct the DreamWorks Animation film that counts Brad Ableson as co-director. Michael McCullers penned the screenplay, with Christopher Meledandri credited for the story and producing alongside Gina Shay. Zendaya is set to voice Shrek and Fiona’s daughter, Felicia, while Marcello Hernández and Skyler Gisondo play her two brothers, Fergus and Farkle, respectively.

The trailer for Shrek 5 features Donkey’s delight upon hearing that he and Shrek are intending to team up again. “It’s really happening,” Donkey exclaims. “Do you know what that means? I need a makeover — get my arms yoked and my back jacked, my abs ab-ded, maybe even tighten up my badonkadonk.”
