Shrek 5: Will Antonio Banderas Return as Puss in Boots?
Fans are eager to know if Antonio Banderas’ Puss in Boots will return in Shrek 5. Last month, Eddie Murphy confirmed the movie’s development and also gave other updates. He revealed that he had begun his recordings and will wind it up, this year. After this exciting update, DreamWorks Animation publicly announced the final release date for the film. Now that, major cast members are set to return, fans are curious to know if Puss in Boots will appear or not. Here are all the updates on Banderas’ return.
Will Antonio Banderas’ Puss in Boots return in Shrek 5?
At the time of writing, Banderas’ return as Puss in Boot remains unconfirmed. However, there is a possibility that he may return.
The Puss in Boots: The Last Wish ending hinted at Far Far Away. It is a fictional place where Shrek movies are originally set. This could mean that he may appear in the upcoming Shrek sequel, but it’s mere speculation and an official confirmation is still required. Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, and Cameron Diaz as Fiona are confirmed to return in Shrek 5. DreamWorks Animation revealed the upcoming movie will arrive in theaters on July 1, 2026.
In a conversation with Collider in 2022, Banderas revealed that he had no idea about the surprising ending of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish teasing Shrek. He said, “I was… surprised when at the end of this movie, we saw this wink of an eye that the studio just threw there, with Far, Far Away.”
Did Puss in Boots retire in The Last Wish?
There is no certainty about Puss in Boots’ retirement plans in The Last Wish.
At the beginning of The Last Wish, the doctor tells Puss in Boots to retire, following his church bell accident. The reason behind it is he ran out of lives, having only a final one to live. While he initially conforms to the doctor’s advice, he eventually comes back into action. He ventures out to find the Wishing Star to restore his eight lives. However, his retirement plans remain unclear at the movie’s end. This is because he, Kitty, and Perrito sail to Far Far Away to reunite with their other friends. This hints at a potential Shrek and Puss in Boots reunion. Therefore, whether Banderas’ Puss hung up his boots or is getting prepared for another adventure with Shrek remains unclear.
