Alfonso Obregón Sets Terms to Return as Shrek’s SpanishLatin Voice in ‘Shrek 5’

No deal is in place, leaving the Spanish‑language casting unsettled.

Overview

  • Obregón said he will not participate in Shrek 5 unless his stated conditions are met.
  • His terms include opening‑credit billing as the Spanish lead, a role directing the Spanish version, and an acceptable pay agreement.
  • He also demanded direct negotiation with DreamWorks or the company handling the dubbing instead of going through intermediaries.
  • He warned some executives may cite his 2024 jail time as a pretext to exclude him, despite reports of an acquittal for lack of evidence.
  • DreamWorks has not confirmed the Spanish‑Latin casting, and the film is currently scheduled for June 30, 2027 after previous delays.
