Zendaya joins the cast alongside returners Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz. Twenty-five years after a stinky, burly green ogre first debuted on the big screen, he will be joined by his teenage daughter, voiced by none other than Zendaya.

Shrek the ogre, the internet’s favorite character—based on all the horrible memes and animations I’ve seen—will return in a new sequel next year. And this time around, Zendaya is joining the cast as Shrek’s daughter in the upcoming Shrek 5.

We finally have our first look at "Shrek 5," which will feature the voice of Zendaya as Shrek and Fiona's daughter. Zendaya will join franchise originals Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz for the movie, which is expected to hit theaters in December 2026.
