Shrek and the Minions will both be on the big screen in 2026.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about the adjustments in the release dates of two highly-anticipated animated films. It appears Universal Pictures has decided to shuffle things around! Originally slated for July 1, 2026, “Shrek 5” will now grace our screens on December 23 of the same year. In its place, “Minions 3,” initially planned for June 30, 2027, will now take the summer 2026 window instead. Can’t wait to see these cinematic marvels unfold!
Universal Studios is moving the launch of their unnamed Illumination event movie from March 19, 2027, to a new release date in June instead.
Though December 2026 may appear to be quite a distance, “Shrek 5” will be released to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary. This marks the long-awaited reunion of the original voice actors, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, who will once again bring Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona to life.

Though December 2026 might seem a long way off, “Shrek 5” is scheduled for release on the occasion of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. This signifies the highly anticipated return of the original voice actors, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, who will reprise their roles as Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona.
Starting from the release of “Shrek” in 2001 (which was the first to win the Oscar for best animated feature), the four Shrek movies have grossed over $2.9 billion globally. This success led to a popular live-touring show, an acclaimed Broadway musical that received eight Tony and twelve Drama Desk nominations, a tourist attraction in London, and various attractions throughout Universal Studios Parks.
Since its debut in 2001 with the Oscar-winning “Shrek” for best animated feature, the Shrek film series has earned over $2.9 billion worldwide. The success gave rise to a global live-touring show, an award-winning Broadway musical with eight Tony and twelve Drama Desk nominations, a London tourist destination, and numerous attractions across Universal Studios Parks.
In the upcoming “Shrek 5,” franchise veterans Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon will take on the directorial roles. Dohrn, who previously worked as a writer and artist in the second and third films, served as Head of Story for the fourth film, and lent his voice to Rumpelstilskin in “Shrek Forever After,” will join the team. Meanwhile, Vernon, known for directing “Shrek 2” and “Madagascar 2,” and voicing the Gingerbread Man (Gingy), is also on board.
In the realm of animation, Gina Shay (notably known for “Shrek Forever After” and the “Trolls” films) teams up with Chris Meledandri, founder and CEO of Illumination Entertainment (renowned for “Despicable Me,” “Minions,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Sing,” and “Secret Life of Pets”). This upcoming production will be jointly directed by Brad Ableson, who has previously worked on “Minions: The Rise of Gru” and “The Simpsons.
Meanwhile, “Minions 3” is riding on the wave of success from “Despicable Me 4,” which raked in a massive $230 million worldwide during the July 4 weekend, making it a box office hit for the Independence Day holiday once again. Over a decade since their first appearance, the yellow minions and their supervillain boss Gru have amassed close to $5 billion at global box offices with their “Despicable Me” and “Minions” films.
The upcoming movie titled ‘Minions 3’ is penned by Brian Lynch, who has also worked on ‘Minions’ and ‘The Secret Life of Pets’. Pierre Coffin, an Academy Award-nominee known for his work in the first three ‘Despicable Me’ films and the initial ‘Minions’, will be directing this film. Interestingly, Coffin is also responsible for lending his voice to the Minions since their debut on screen in 2010. The production of this movie will be handled by Meledandri and Bill Ryan, who has previously served as an executive producer for ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’.
