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.
On Thursday, Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation shared a new trailer for "Shrek 5," more than six months after announcing the fifth film in the popular animated series. The 30-second trailer features Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Pinocchio and Shrek's teenage daughter Felicia − sporting deep green lipstick, a half-up-half-down hairdo and a nose ring. The trailer confirms Zendaya's casting as Felicia.
In the trailer, the quintet look into the magic mirror, which has made appearances in other "Shrek" movies, to see a TikTok-style slideshow of memes, including Shrek sporting pink sunglasses and a shirtless six-pack. In traditional teenage daughter fashion, Felicia bursts out with an, "Ew!" while Fiona swoops in with, "Oh, momma like."
As part of the announcement, Universal Pictures re-shared a 2017 X post from Zendaya that reads, "I watch Shrek too often in my adulthood."
Adolescent ogres were introduced in the 2007 release of "Shrek 3," when Shrek and Fiona gave birth to triplets: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia. Up until now, the triplets have only been seen as babies in the franchise.
