We’re going back to the swamp!

DreamWorks Animation has announced that “Shrek 5″ is officially in development, with a far, far away release date of July 1, 2026. Original “Shrek” stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are all confirmed to return.

Antonio Banderas’ return as the feisty feline Puss in Boots is not yet confirmed. I’m sure agents involved are still hashing out the details.

Murphy let the cat out of the bag, that he had already begun voice recording for the film and will next do a Donkey spinoff movie. Eddie’s on the nostalgia road and it’s working for him with, The new Axle F movie on Netflix.
