Universal's planned return trip to Far Far Away just got considerably further away. The company made several release date changes this evening to a few of its upcoming flicks, one of them being Shrek 5. Everyone's favorite green ogre, voiced by Mike Myers, was initially set to welcome everyone back into his swamp on July 1, 2026, but the much-anticipated sequel will now move back several months to Wednesday, December 23, 2026 with Minions 3 slotting in its place. Fortunately, the new date will still allow it to hit theaters in time to celebrate the original Shrek's 25th anniversary, which its release was timed to.
