The Puss in Boots films are spin-offs that revolve around the adventures of the Puss in Boots character from the Shrek media franchise. The first one, Puss in Boots, was released in 2011, followed by Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, in 2022. Both films were successful critically and commercially. If that has made you wonder whether there will be a third Puss in Boots movie, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all the Puss in Boots 3 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Puss in Boots 3 release date?
Puss in Boots 3 does not have an official release date, but it might be announced in the future.
As of early January 2024, Puss in the Boots hasn’t been officially greenlit. However, because of the massive critical and commercial success of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the possibility of its happening can’t be ruled out. The film has a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, earned $484.6 million at the global box office against its $90–110 million budget, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.
During a February 2023 interview with The Playlist, director Joel Crawford reflected on the prospect of the third Puss in the Boots film. “I don’t know what’s going on with anything after this, but it was all this hopeful thing of we love these characters,” the filmmaker said. “We believe in this story that we’re telling and we hope that audiences will engage with it and demand more stories, both with the Puss and Boots side and also with Shrek. I feel like I can say based on the world’s reception of it, that it does feel like they’ve said ‘Yes, we want more,’ which I’m so happy about. But honestly, I hope to keep getting to tell stories with all of these characters.”
Toward the end of the second film (spoilers warning for those who haven’t watched Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), Puss, Kitty, and Perrito sail toward the Kingdom of Far Far Away, intending to visit old friends. Even if Puss in Boots 3 doesn’t happen, the central characters will likely appear in the other prospective Shrek franchise projects.
Where is Puss in Boots 3 coming out?
Puss in Boots 3 could come out in theaters.
This is because all feature films in the Shrek franchise were released in theaters. ComingSoon will provide an update if and when Puss in Boots 3 is officially announced.
