Will Lord Farquaad even appear in Shrek 5? And if so, will it be John Lithgow?

was a game-changer for Dreamworks Animation, and years later, the studio is still hoping to bring the franchise back to life. Since 2017, there have been rumors of a fifthspinoff. That got fans excited, and we’ve had some small updates since, but all we really knew was that Murphy, Mike Myers, and Cameron Diaz would return to reprise their roles. Now, recurring villain John Lithgow says he’s open to a return…but that he has not yet been asked to do so.

It’s easy to wonder if that means we’re done seeing Lord Farquaad altogether…or if they just haven’t asked Lithgow. After all, unless he is a main character, one could imagine that Lithgow would not be in the voice booth for as long as the series leads. Farquaad had relatively little screen time compared to Shrek and Donkey in pretty much every film.— so long that some rumors had suggested the franchise is as likely to be full-on rebooted as continued.
