Eddie Murphy BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Eddie Murphy has had a blockbuster few days in entertainment headlines and social media buzz fueled by a fresh round of project updates alongside an ongoing surge in public and family interest. According to Deadline and Just Jared Eddie made waves late last week by confirming he is back in the recording booth working on Shrek 5 reprising his iconic role as Donkey. He told ScreenRant that not only is Shrek 5 deep into production with about two years of voiceover already done, but a Donkey spinoff movie is now greenlit and set to start production this September with a release about three years out. Murphy described the Donkey spinoff as being modeled on the Puss in Boots solo movies, fueling immediate speculation across Hollywood about what new stories could catapult his wisecracking character into the limelight.

Meanwhile coverage from Broadway World reports that Shrek 5 moved its release date to summer 2027, giving a longer runway for anticipation. This is set to reenergize one of the most successful animated franchises of all time and creates significant industry buzz given Murphy’s ongoing career resurgence.

Murphy is also making mainstream news for his latest live-action hit Beverly Hills Cop Axel F., which starring himself and cameos from two of his own children, set viewership records for Netflix this summer. Good Morning America highlighted Murphy’s family’s multi-generational involvement in Axel F—his daughter Bria Murphy and son-in-law Michael Xavier both have key cameos—and his eldest son Eric Murphy recently announced his engagement to Jasmin Lawrence, daughter of Martin Lawrence. A viral moment on iHeartRadio’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood show had Martin Lawrence joke that Eddie insisted Martin pays for the upcoming wedding, riffing on classic comedic chemistry and sending the story trending across social platforms.

Murphy’s recent film The Pickup is also attracting attention, especially after co-star Pete Davidson recalled on Late Night with Seth Meyers that when Davidson asked Murphy for new-dad advice, Eddie simply quipped he had no advice and that “you’re on your own,” a comment that trended widely for its humor and candor.

As Coming to America soaring into the Tubi streaming top ten shows, Murphy’s enduring popularity has an intergenerational reach—his old and new work simultaneously making waves. While there is always some social curiosity about Murphy’s famously private personal life, every current headline is grounded in verified public news, all pointing to a career and family legacy only deepening with time.
