Antonio Banderas Teases Puss In Boots 2 Is Unexpectedly Emotional
Antonio Banderas is revealing that Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is an unexpectedly emotional film. The actor has voiced the rowdy feline character in the Shrek franchise since 2004 when Puss became a permanent member of the team. The 2011 spin-off, Puss in Boots, then introduced audiences to an early version of the Spanish-speaking cat, focusing on his adventures prior to meeting Shrek that resulted in the overconfident criminal becoming a more humble hero. Development of a potential sequel began in 2012, though Comcast's acquisition of DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures' decision to reboot the Shrek and Puss in Boots franchises led to a number of changes being made.
Directed by Joel Crawford, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will follow Antonio Banderas' titular character as he learns that he has exhausted eight of his nine lives. In an attempt to get them back, Puss and his friends will set out on a quest to find the Last Wish, but in doing so will have to dodge a new group of enemies. In addition to Banderas, the film will feature the return of Salma Hayek's Kitty Softpaws, and introduce audiences to new characters voiced by Olivia Coleman, Ray Winstone, Wagner Moura, Florence Pugh, John Mulaney, and more. Set to be released on December 21, 2022, fans are now starting to get their first looks at The Last Wish and its story over a decade after Puss in Boots premiered.
