Eddie Murphy is revealing some big news on his upcoming projects he’s working on!
The 64-year-old comedic actor will be reprising his voice role of Donkey in the upcoming fifth Shrek movie, and he’s also set to star in a Donkey spinoff movie.
While promoting his other new movie, The Pickup, at San Diego Comic-Con, he was asked about the status of Shrek 5.
“They’re still doing voiceover stuff. We’re still in the booth, and literally, we’re still doing Shrek,” he told ScreenRant. “We start in September on Donkey, we’re doing a Donkey one, and that’ll be three years from now, but we’re about two years into Shrek 5. Still in the booth and about to start Donkey in September.”
Eddie then went into further details about the spinoff movie.
“Donkey’s going to be like how Puss in Boots had his own movie, Donkey’s going to have his own movie, own little story with his dragon wife and his kids that are half-dragon and half-donkeys,” Eddie added. “They’ve written this funny story. We’re doing that, starting that in September.”
