Zendaya excites fans with delightful news about ‘Shrek 5’ role

Zendaya is eyeing another iconic role after making waves in the MCU universe and the Dune franchise.

Following her adventures with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and ruling the Dunes with Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, 28, is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Shrek 5.

According to Fandomwire.com the Challengers star is rumoured to become the princess of swamps as she might voice Felicia in the upcoming film.

Though she is being considered to voice Shrek and Fiona’s only daughter among the triplets, who has had a minor presence in the previous Shrek movies, it is expected that the upcoming flick will bring a fresh direction for Shrek’s kids, with the Hollywood actress potentially stepping into the exciting role.

For the unversed, if Zendaya takes the role, it will mark another major addition to her impressive portfolio outside the MCU following her portrayal of MJ in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) and the upcoming Spider-Man 4 (2026).

Shrek 5 will be the fifth main instalment and seventh overall addition to the $4 billion franchise.

Additionally, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz are confirmed to return to the much popular animated series.
