Summary
The farseeing - in - developmentShrek 5means the return of the franchise ’s best characters , a few of which I am especially looking forward to learn again . It is a given thatShrek ( Mike Meyers ) , Fiona ( Cameron Diaz ) , and Donkey ( Eddie Murphy ) will be returning . More than probable , Puss in Boots ( Antonio Banderas ) will be brought back into the level , travel along his successful spinoff movies . Puss in BootsandPuss in Boots : The Last Wishexpanded theShrekuniverse to include several more characters who could also appear inShrek 5 .
TheShrekcast has always included a wide array of batty , subverted fairy tale characters , making up Shrek ’s crew of friends and some foe . I am a huge rooter of deconstructed fairy tale characters , with a few from theShrekmoviesstanding out to me as particularly clever . However , as fairy - taradiddle picture show of this nature are not exactly innovative any longer , the character necessitate to be able to stand on their own . Luckily , there are numerous from the franchise ’s previous installing who always provide plenty of laughs and activity .
The Shrek movie serial introduced a diversity of characters , of which some became the most pop in the franchise , even if some only appeared once .

10Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek)
From Puss In Boots & Puss In Boots: The Last Wish
Firstly , I hope it is not too much to ask thatShrek 5uses the same animation style asThe Last Wish . With it having been so long since the lastShrekmovie came out , a stylistic revamp is in purchase order . Meanwhile , it would be appropriate to include some of the characters exclusively from thePuss in Bootsmovies inShrek . Puss in Bootswas well encounter , whileThe Last Wishdrastically surpassed its predecessorand more masses than just me are eager to see their novel characters generate .
At the cutting edge of both movies is Kitty Softpaws , the feline outlaw and pickpocket who can serve well as a cornerstone for both action- and emotion - orient plot line . Kitty is Puss ' combative and intellectual match ; they keep each other on their toes at all times , even though they are technically on the same side . The two guy have a great moral force that would elevateShrek 5 — it ’s amusing to me to think about how the sleep of theShrekgroup would react to Kitty encouraging the best and bad in Puss .
9Perrito (Harvey Guillén)
From Puss In Boots: The Last Wish
Completing the"Team Friendship"trio inThe Last Wishis Perrito , the incredibly sweet and funny therapy dog who fall in with Puss and Kitty on their latest adventure . Perrito provides lots of screaming beat but has an odd brainwave into some of his move around companions ' inner workingsand drives character growth as a result . In a very powerful scene and interesting moment for the extendedShrekfranchise , Perrito calms Puss down when he is having a panic tone-beginning .
Both Puss and Kitty are solitary wolves , but Perrito latch onto them with complete loyalty and friendliness until they fondly accept they are sticking together . Perrito could be at the center of other similar subplots about provide excited support and finding unexampled friendships in succeeding movies . Luckily , Puss , Kitty , and Perrito are seen arriving in Far Far aside at the last ofThe Last Wish , powerfully connote that they will all be a part ofShrek 5 .
8Pinocchio (Cody Cameron)
From Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek The Third, & Shrek Forever After
It ’s not aShrekmovie without Pinocchio . Shrek trust upon a close friend group of characters from fairy narration and nursery rhymesto come to his aid when fighting villain . Of this group , Pinocchio is the most reliably funny appendage . He claims some of the funniest fit in the franchise , such as theMission : Impossiblespoof sequence inShrek 2 . to boot , Pinocchio ’s humor construct upon itself as the movies go on .
Additionally , Pinocchio ’s wittiness build upon itself as the movies go on .
A muckle of Pinocchio ’s jokes are based on him not being able to lie , leading to him enunciate something random that turns out to be true , then leading to him go on a crazy ramble of financial statement , none of which are technically false . Hopefully , Shrek 5would fall up with another cagy way to pervert this aspect of Pinocchio ’s fib for humor . This is combined with his part in the overall comedy of this group of character , who are seen doing lots of"normal"things together , like watching this world ’s version of bad reality idiot box .
7King “Artie” Arthur (Justin Timberlake)
From Shrek The Third
Shrek the Thirdis one of the weakerShrekmovies , and its take on King Arthur is considered lusterless . However , I believe thatShrekcould still do something with"Artie"to make him a more dynamic character . I also always think that the brief cameos by other characters from Arthuriana at the mellow school were fun and hilarious Easter Eggs : The joust team skipper who push around Artie is Lancelot ( John Krasinski ) , his would - be dependable friend and correct - hand military personnel , and Artie confesses his lovemaking to Guinevere"Gwen"(Latifa Ouaou ) before departing .
Puss and his crowd are manoeuvre back toFar Far Away , where Artie and perhaps some of his former classmates have presumably ruled for years now . The forward-looking cacophony of fairy tale Cuban sandwich and villains proved to be an awful part ofShrek 2 , and mixing in Arthuriana could be just as fun . Artie ’s character just call for to be less of a generic noble heir inShrek 5 , but he may have become more wearied in the intervening years .
6Goldilocks (Florence Pugh)
The Last Wishrecruited another major rising virtuoso with Florence Pugh as the cosmos ’s uptight interlingual rendition of Goldilocks . goldilocks aster ' reappearance would likely also mean the same for her adopt family , the just as impressively cast Three Bears : Papa ( Ray Winstone ) , Mama ( Olivia Colman ) , and Baby ( Samson Kayo).Goldilocks has a great , grimy design , a heartwarming arc about learning to fully appreciate her come up family , and is one of the franchise ’s most skilled fighters — up there with Puss and Kitty .
I ’m of the opinion that any movie will be improved by Pugh ’s involvement and that Goldilocks ' conceptualisation was a neat and fun increase to theShrekroster of twisted poove tale characters . Goldilocks and the Bears would likely be alliesbut probably operate outside the usual mathematical group of Shrek ’s closest friend . This could contribute to a complicated report where there are multiple groups of characters after the same affair , as is the case inThe Last Wish .
Due to its ties to fairy tale narrative , Shrek has a hatful of cross characters & plot of ground , but certain theories change the movies ' tincture altogether .
5Brogan (Jon Hamm)
From Shrek Forever After
Shrek Forever Afteraddresses a long - standing game hole in the serial : Shrek and Fiona ca n’t mayhap be the only ogres in this world . It ’s still a plot hole that they are totally missing for the quietus of the serial publication , butit open up the potential for next storylines with the hugger-mugger army of ogres that Fiona led against Rumpelstiltskin ( Walt Dohrn).After that experience , Shrek may have made an exertion to get hold the other monster again in his own timeline , as the movie ’s credits scene suggest . One of them is Brogan , Fiona ’s unofficial right-hand - handwriting man .
It would be interesting for Brogan to return because of what he connotes about Fiona ’s character . In the alternate realism , Fiona economise herself from the tugboat and chair an U. S. Army , something I thought was in character and very empowering for her , as well as a valuable subversive activity of the damsel in distress image effectively added in so lately in the dealership . It would be peachy ifShrek 5didn’t whole disbelieve this , and Brogan could be a way to remind the audience of it .
4Queen Lillian (Julie Andrews)
From Shrek 2, Shrek The Third, & Shrek Forever After
Julie Andrews was also an amazing addition to theShrekcast when she and John Cleese joined the dealership as Fiona ’s parents inShrek 2.Queen Lillian balances out her daughter and a lot of the other character , who are very enlarged with tatty personalities , collapse freaky jokes or charging into a fight . In demarcation , Lillian is more temper , providing the power police squad with a sassy , older front . Yet , she can hold her own in a fighting as well as anyone else .
Lillian may still subsist in Far Far off , possibly advising Artie , who is Fiona ’s cousin-german and could use some advice on how to rule . Maybe the starting point ofShrek 5will be that Artie has become a risky king ( something that does happen in Arthuriana ) and Lillian is the one to recognize that Far Far Away is falling into ruin . In general , Lillian can be used to help other characters ' arcs while being interesting on her own .
3Snow White (Amy Poehler)
The whole subplot of the princesses asserting that they can salve themselves inShrek the Thirdfeels a bit preachy , in retrospect ; Fiona rescue herself after year of pain and loneliness inShrek Forever Afteris really handle better . However , the princess themselves are all given goofy personalities that are perversions of how they are generally thought of in pop music culture . Snow White is belike the good one , who is written in direct direct contrast with the DisneyPri idea of herbeing the sweetest and most inactive princess .
2Big Bad Wolf (Aron Warner)
Another highlight of the mainShrekgroup is the Big Bad Wolf , sometimes known as"Wolfie,“who may be a threefold character from different versions of both the Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs stories . Wolfie has always been vocalize byShrekproducer Aron Warner , who adopts a blase intonation for the characters ' lines . This enables Wolfie to have some suspicious round where he coolly react to everything happening around him .
The best of his moment — and possibly the odd moment of the whole franchise — is Wolfie undersell Charming ’s whole heroic rescue sequencewith irritation that his reading has been interrupted and the effortless proclamation that Fiona is on her honeymoon . That , at least , is why I desire Wolfie to take back — if nothing else , as a reminder of this screaming beat . However , the group that also include Gingy ( Conrad Vernon ) , the Three unsighted Mice ( Christopher Knights ) , and the Three Little Pigs ( also Cameron ) will likely also all give as a social unit .
The Game of Thrones prequel serial publication House of the Dragon shares some strange similarity with Shrek 2 , as highlighted by a screaming comparison picture .
1Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders)
From Shrek 2
Resurrection is not an established part of theShrekworld . However , no one is go to deny that the Fairy Godmother is one ofDreamWorks ' best villainsand a dazzling part ofShrek 2 , with an epic cover of " Holding Out for a Hero . " She is a master manipulator and embody a unique terror in this setting of trying to impose a traditional fairy tale body structure . Therefore , I would pronto accept a half - baked Christ’s Resurrection plot line if it is used as a fomite to work the Fairy Godmother back .
She is a skipper operator and embodies a alone menace in this place setting of test to enforce a traditional fairy tale structure .
She is also set up for a straightforward discharge of want to avenge Charming ’s ( her son ) expiry . This would actually be new for her persona , with less scheming involved and a more school principal - on , emotionally driven attack . This might be a far - fetched wish of mine forShrek 5 , but it could be the cornerstone of a new , hilarious , and dear installment for the franchise .
