The first teaser for “Shrek 5” has arrived and Shrek’s kids are all grown up — and apparently, Zendaya is indeed voicing one of them. Although, her character is horrified at the magic mirror’s latest reveal.
“Hey magic mirror! Who’s the fairest of them all?” Donkey eagerly asks, once again voiced by Eddie Murphy. The answer apparently is Shrek, as the mirror provides memed versions of the ogre in response.
You can watch the first footage in the video, below.
Among the results is a very buff Shrek, prompting his daughter Felicia (Zendaya) to pop in and gag at it, while Fiona — voiced by a returning Cameron Diaz, after making her acting comeback in Netflix’s “Back in Action” earlier this year — fawns over it.
Who’s responsible for such horrifying images, you ask? Well, Pinocchio swears it’s not him, but his nose promptly grows to indicate he’s lying.
That’s all the footage we get, at least for now. From there, the magic mirror cuts in to tout the returning cast members, as well as the reveal of new addition Zendaya (which even he seems surprised about, tossing in an “Oh, damn!”).
Plot details remain under wraps, but we do know the film will be directed by Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon, both veterans of the franchise. Dohrn worked on both the second and third “Shrek” films as a writer, and on the fourth film as head of story. He also voiced Rumpelstiltskin in “Shrek Forever After.” Meanwhile, Vernon directed “Shrek 2” and was the voice of the Gingerbread Man. Brad Ableson will also serve as co-director.
“Shrek 5” hits theaters on Dec. 23, 2026.
