Shrek and Donkey are back! ET's Nischelle Turner sat down with Eddie Murphy , Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Kevin Bacon, John Ashton and Judge Reinhold for their highly anticipated sequel, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F . But Murphy, 63, had other movie news: He revealed that a new Shrek film is on the way and confirmed a Donkey spinoff. "We started doing Shrek six months ago," Murphy told ET.
"So Shrek is coming back. So we're doing another Shrek and we're doing a Donkey movie. There's a Donkey, we have a Donkey movie.
" Murphy voiced the swamp ogre's faithful donkey sidekick in all four Shrek films. The beloved franchise began in 2001 with Shrek . It spawned three sequels – 2004's Shrek 2 , 2007's Shrek the Third and 2010's Shrek Forever After .
Now, the fifth Shrek movie is in production. There’s also been two spinoffs based on Puss — 2011’s Puss in Boots and 2022’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish . As for the Donkey spinoff, Murphy said it'll be about "just Donkey, well, his dragon wife, his half-dragon donkey children will be in it.
" In the first film, Shrek was able to rescue Fiona from the Dragon-guarded abandoned castle when Donkey distracted Dragon with his charm. Donkey was equally seduced by Dragon when she blew a smoke-shaped heart at him. The two eventually wed and have hybrid Dronkey babies.
"I love Shrek," Murphy gushed. Reprising his iconic voice-acting role was an easy decision for Murphy. Last January, the comedian said he'd be "absolutely" down to bring back every.
