Shrek 5 is directed by franchise veterans Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn. Vernon’s directing credits include Shrek 2 and Madagascar 2, and he is the voice of Gingerbread Man (aka Gingy) in the Shrek films. Dohrn (Trolls films) worked on the second and third Shrek pics as a writer and artist and as Head of Story on the fourth. Dohrn also voiced the character of Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After.
It was announced during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade that Skyler Gisondo, who played Jimmy Olsen in Superman, and SNL cast member Marcello Hernández, will voice Fergus and Farkle, the brothers of Zendaya’s Felicia.
