It was announced recently that Toy Story would return to cinemas with a fifth installment already in early development, following that Illumination Studios CEO, Chris Meledandri, has revealed that Shrek 5 is in the works – and the whole main cast has been tapped to return.
The information was revealed while Meledandri was doing a press tour for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which premieres this Friday. The studio founder was going through all the sequels that people can expect from the studio’s many beloved animations, including Despicable Me and The Secret Life of Pets. Even though Shrek hails from a different house (DreamWorks), Meledandri is also a creative partner in the Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg animation studio.
Meledandri also teased the possibility of a Donkey spin-off movie, and stated that the character could definitely lead a movie on its own.
