Antonio Banderas is working on a spinoff film starring his popular Shrek character Puss In Boots.
Although the Shrek franchise will bid goodbye to the box office with the fourth and final film in the DreamWorks franchise next month, the Spanish-born actor — who voices the wide-eyed, sword-wielding kitty in the hit films — will continue playing the title role in a new movie, which will also star Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis.
The story focuses on Puss’ childhood, Antonio explains: “I already did the first recordings and it’s going to be called Puss In Boots – it starts when he was very little. He was in an orphanage when he first discovered the effect he has on people – that’s when he starts being intelligent.”
Shrek Forever After opens in May.
