Something green is coming to the big screen in 2027, and I\u2019m not just talking about Brainiac\u2019s reported cinematic debut in Man of Tomorrow<\/a>. Shrek 5 will also reunite moviegoers with Mike Myers<\/a>\u2019 beloved ogre nearly two decades after he was last seen in Shrek Forever After. Although speaking of one of the Man of Steel\u2019s greatest adversaries, folks who enjoyed the 2025 movie release<\/a> of Superman, as well as Saturday Night Live fans, are going to be pleased by the actors who\u2019ve been cast as Shrek\u2019s sons.<\/p>\n

It was announced during the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade<\/a> that Skyler Gisondo, who played Jimmy Olsen in Superman, and SNL<\/a> cast member Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez, will voice Fergus and Farkle, the brothers of Zendaya<\/a>\u2019s Felicia. They join the aforementioned Myers, Cameron Diaz<\/a> reprising Fiona, and Eddie Murphy<\/a> reprising Donkey. The triplets were born in Shrek the Third, and after spending some more time with them as infants in Shrek Forever After, we\u2019ll finally get to hear how they sound as teenagers once Shrek 5 rolls around.<\/p>\n

Skyler Gisondo is the latest actor to play Jimmy Olsen in live-action, and he\u2019ll reprise his DCU role for an upcoming DC TV show <\/a>that sees the Daily Planet reporter crossing paths with Gorilla Grodd<\/a>. Along with Superman, Gisondo\u2019s gained recognition for roles like Gideon Gemstone in The Righteous Gemstones and Sam Knowlston in The Resort. Gisondo will participate on the 2026 movies schedule<\/a> starring alongside Robert De Niro<\/a>, Ben Stiller<\/a>, Owen Wilson<\/a> and Ariana Grande<\/a> in Focker In-Law.<\/p>\n

Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez has been a Saturday Night Live cast member since Season 48 premiered in 2022 and is best known for playing the suave Domingo. He also made his film debut earlier this year in Happy Gilmore<\/a> 2 and is set to voice an undisclosed character in The Angry Birds Movie 3 next year. Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s inclusion in Shrek 5 is especially amusing since last month, he poked fun at the original Shrek while doing his character The Movie Guy on Weekend Update, as seen below.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m wondering if Hern\u00e1ndez had already signed onto Shrek 5 when this segment aired, or if his involvement was only finalized within the last few weeks. In any case, it\u2019s good to finally have voices attached to all three of Shrek and Fiona\u2019s children. Now here\u2019s the question on my mind: will Fergus and Farkle have just as big of roles as Felicia in Shrek 5, or will they be supporting characters instead?<\/p>\n

Shrek 5 opens in theaters on June 30, 2027. You can stream the previous four movies with your Peacock subscription<\/a>, which is also where the entirety of Saturday Night Live can be viewed. Skyler Gisondo\u2019s time as Jimmy Olsen in Superman can be accessed with an HBO Max subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n
