The Shrek Saga: A Revival in Motion?
With the Shrek franchise’s potential revival courtesy of "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish", buzz and speculation are rife in Tinseltown. It's been a decade since the dulcet roars of our beloved green ogre and the hilarious chatter of Donkey echoed across our screens. Yet, the ending of "The Last Wish" teases fans with promises of rekindled magic.
Murphy's Enthusiastic Nod: "I'm All Ears!"
Eddie Murphy, the powerhouse behind the lovable character, Donkey, in an exclusive with etalkctv, didn’t hold back his enthusiasm. "Oh, I would be absolutely open. If they came to me with another Shrek, I would do it in two seconds. I love Donkey." Murphy, unabashedly favoring his character, stated, "The donkey is more fun than puss in boots. I mean, I love Puss in Boots but he's no funnier than Donkey.”
Fans can't help but wonder if DreamWorks might be teasing a Donkey-centric spin-off. After all, the chuckles and snickers Donkey has brought over the years can't merely be confined to the past.
Puss in Boots: A Catalyst for Shrek’s Return?
As reported by MovieWeb, despite the prolonged hiatus of the Shrek series, the character Puss in Boots breathed new life into the franchise. Hitting impressive numbers at the box office, "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" made it clear – the magic of Far Far Away isn’t waning.
With teasers pointing towards a potential reunion in Far Far Away, there's intense speculation on what form it might take. Whether it's a full-blown Shrek sequel, a continuation of Puss in Boots, a fresh animated series, or (and fans are crossing their fingers) a spin-off starring our favorite talking donkey, it’s clear that something wickedly comedic this way comes.
The entertainment realm waits with bated breath. If Eddie Murphy’s energy and the franchise’s history are any indications, DreamWorks might just have another blockbuster in the making. And let's be real, who wouldn’t want another dose of the Donkey's infectious laugh?
