Puss in Boots 2 Image Reveals First Look At New Dog Character
After many years of waiting, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is coming, and this time there's a dog. The film is a sequel to 2011's Puss in Boots, which itself was a spinoff of the 2004 film Shrek 2, the first movie in the franchise to feature the Zorro-esque orange tabby voiced by Antonio Banderas. Many attribute the success of the Shrek sequels to Puss in Boots as a character, both for his witty nature and adorable design. Fans were vocal about wanting a sequel to the Academy Award-nominated film, and a sequel was soon put into production, originally titled Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & Forty Thieves. Unfortunately, the film was cancelled due to corporate restructuring at DreamWorks.
Nothing was heard about a sequel again until February 2019, when Puss in Boots: The Last Wishwas officially announced. Very little was known about the sequel for several years, possibly due to COVID delays, but in March 2021, the film was officially given a September 2022 release date. Along with this news, it was announced that Banderas would return to voice Puss for the movie.
