I remember hearing recently that Eddie Murphy said that he started voicing Donkey for Shrek 5. Today, DreamWorks Animation confirmed it is reality and not just a fairytale. They wrote, “Not too Far, Far Away…@Shrek 5 is coming to theaters on July 1, 2026 with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz.”
Am I the only one who didn’t know there was a Shrek 3 and Shrek 4? So, it makes you wonder do we really need another sequel.
Beverly Hills Cop came out in 1984. It was one of the quintessential movies of the decade.
Forty years later, it finally got its third sequel, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.
Netflix decided to have some fun, so they asked Benedict Coulter, who edited the trailer for the first two movies, to edit a trailer for this movie. Not only that, they asked Don LaFontaine, who did voiceover for those trailers, to narrate this one.
What those two men did is totally tubular, just like Axel F, who dropped on the streaming service today. Eddie Murphy is back, and in a big way!!!
Back in the ’80s, it seemed like Eddie Murphy could do wrong. But then came 1985.
What happened that year? He released his first album, How Could It Be. And we thought, how could it be that his music was that bad? But it was.
Believe it or not, after the failure of his first attempt as a singer, he released two more records.
After 31 years, we thought he was done with his dream of being a singer. However, it turns out, we were wrong.
Yesterday, Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans at the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premiere wanted to know if we will ever hear new songs from him. “I have lots of stuff. I never stopped recording, I just stopped putting stuff out. Every now and then, I’ll put something up on YouTube for free with no advertising or anything.” he said. “I’ve almost put a record out a bunch of times over the years.”
Murphy then explained that he came close several times but he stopped himself. However, he didn’t stop himself from recording, so he has a lot stuff ready to go.
Although, he will have to find a new studio to work out of. That is because his daughter moved back, and the studio became her bedroom.
Before there was Bad Boys, there was Beverly Hills Cop. It took two actors to equal one Eddie Murphy, and they still couldn’t top him.
Both franchises have a fourth movie coming out, and I think we know which one is going to be better. Axel F is the GOAT for a reason, as you can see from the trailer!
Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter’s life is threatened, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.
