The trio of Shrek and Fiona’s children, first seen as babies in Shrek the Third, will now appear as teenagers. This marks the franchise’s biggest time jump yet, opening the door for new storylines centered around the next generation.

With Shrek 5’s plot still secret, fans speculate that the film may focus on Shrek navigating the chaos of raising rebellious teens — and possibly giving more spotlight to the kids themselves.

A Cast Full of Rising Stars — and a Bit of Controversy

Skyler Gisondo’s Busy Schedule

Gisondo’s career has surged in recent years. His standout roles include:

He’s also returning to voice roles in Netflix’s Haunted Hotel, will reprise Jimmy Olsen in an upcoming DCU series, and is set for the next Meet the Parents sequel, Focker-in-Law.
Recent reports even hint that he might join A24’s dark comedy Goblin, though nothing is official yet.

Marcello Hernández on the Rise

Hernández has quickly become a fan favorite on SNL thanks to his character Domingo and memorable sketches with Pedro Pascal and Sabrina Carpenter. Outside SNL, he appeared in Happy Gilmore 2 and will lend his voice to The Angry Birds Movie 3.

‘Ugly Sonic’ Déjà Vu? Shrek 5 Faces Early Backlash

While the cast has impressed fans, Shrek 5 has already caused controversy. Early character redesigns sparked online criticism, with many comparing the visuals to the infamous original “Ugly Sonic” reveal.

Fortunately, DreamWorks still has plenty of time to refine the look before the film’s July 2027 release date. The movie recently shifted from its original December 2026 slot, reportedly to avoid competing directly with Avengers: Doomsday.

Shrek 5 is shaping up to be a major return for the franchise — blending nostalgic characters, new voices, and a fresh generational twist. With a strong cast already in place, fans are eagerly awaiting their next trip to Far Far Away.
