The “Shrek” franchise is set for a revival with a fifth movie, according to Illumination CEO and founder Chris Meledandri, who revealed that he and Dreamworks studios are collaborating to bring back the original voice actors. Meledandri explained that the process would be similar to the “Mario” reboot, where the crucial elements that have resonated with audiences would be honored while also introducing new characters and storylines. Although negotiations have yet to be finalized, Meledandri indicated that there is a high level of interest from the original cast, which includes Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy. Meledandri confirmed that discussions are underway and expressed confidence that the cast would return for the new film.
