Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz will return to their signature roles as Shrek, Donkey and Fiona.

Minions 3 will likely be directed by Pierre Coffin, (first three Despicable Me movies, Minions) from a script by Brian Lynch (MinionsThe Secret Lifetime of Pets movies). Coffin has lent his voice to the Minions since their movie debut in 2010.
