Both actors, Gisondo and Hernández, have experience playing sons in movies and TV. Gisondo recently played Ben Stiller’s son in the new movie Focker in Law, and Hernández often played Pedro Pascal’s son on SNL, a character known for bringing home unusual girlfriends. Gisondo has a long history of voice acting, starting with the Air Bud movies, while Hernández previously lent his voice to the upcoming Angry Birds movie. However, his work on SNL, where he plays a variety of quirky characters each week, has already given him valuable training for voice work. Shrek 5, directed by Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn, is scheduled for release on June 30, 2027, over the Fourth of July weekend, which will give Hernández some extra time to prepare his look, as he’s known for using body paint.
