Zendaya to Voice Shrek and Fiona’s Daughter Felicia in Shrek 5
Zendaya has officially joined the cast of “Shrek 5,” lending her voice to Felicia, the teenage daughter of Shrek and Fiona.
This exciting addition to the animated was unveiled in a teaser released by Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation.
The film is slated for a December 23, 2026 release, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the original “Shrek” movie.
In the teaser, fans are reintroduced to familiar characters: Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers), Fiona (Cameron Diaz), and Donkey (Eddie Murphy). The clip offers a glimpse into the dynamic between Shrek and his daughter, Felicia.
In one humorous scene, Felicia reacts with typical teenage embarrassment upon discovering an old, unflattering photo of her father, exclaiming, “Ew, dad!”
Zendaya’s casting as Felicia brings a fresh perspective to the series. Known for her versatile performances in projects like “Spider-Man” and “Euphoria,” her involvement is expected to resonate with both new and longtime fans.
Interestingly, Zendaya has previously expressed her affection for the “Shrek” series.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
