Eddie Murphy was recently awarded the Cecil B. DeMille award in this year’s Golden Globes ceremony. The honorary award recognizes outstanding contributions to cinema. The actor is well known as a part of many pop culture hits such as Coming to America, Dr. Dolittle, and The Nutty Professor. However, one of his most beloved characters is an animated one: Shrek’s Donkey. The actor was recently asked about the possibility of a Shrek 5 in an interview.
Murphy is all in for returning the character and discussing his hopes for a spin-off.
“I’d absolutely be open if they ever came with another Shrek, I’d do it in two seconds. I love Donkey…You know, they did Puss in Boots movies. I was like, ‘They should have done a Donkey movie. Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots. I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but he ain’t funny as the Donkey…I would do another Shrek in two seconds.”
Murphy might be right, at least with the idea of a new Shrek installment. Puss in Boots voice actor Antonio Banderas also recently referred to a possible Shrek 5 during a festival. He said: “I’ve done five movies now. There is probably gonna be another, and Shrek is probably coming back,”
In the interview, Murphy also sent a message to Dreamworks: ”Dreamworks, if you all want to do it, just call me. I’m ready, I’m sitting and ready to do Donkey.”
