Antonio Banderas lends his voice in the upcoming Puss in Boots: The Last Wish film. According to the Spanish actor, the animated feline character might return to the big screen in a fifth Shrek movie.
As reported by Deadline, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is the fifth time that Banderas has been cast. “I’ve been with this cat for almost 20 years,” he said. “The first time I did Puss In Boots, I was working on broadway, so I did my first session there. I’ve done five movies now. There is probably gonna be another, and Shrek is probably coming back.”
The publication informed that rumors of a fifth Shrek movie began circulating years ago, assuring a 2019 release. However, the alleged film hasn’t been released, and there has been no news until now.

According to Deadline, Harvey Guillén will make his franchise debut as Perro. In addition, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Wagner Moura, Ray Winstone, John Mulaney, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Anthony Mendez, and Samson Kayo will complete the Latino-packed cast.
The Last Wish follows Puss in Boots “as he discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll.” The film has Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado as director and co-director. Mark Swift will produce, while Chris Meledandri will executive produce.
