DreamWorks has officially released the third trailer for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the latest film set in the Shrek universe. While the film was initially set to release in September 2022, it has been pushed back to December 21, 2022.
What to Expect in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
In the new Puss in Boots: The Last Wish trailer, the titular Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) wrestles with the reality of being on the ninth of his nine lives. Finding life in retirement miserable, he sets off to find a fabled fallen star that can grant any wish to restore his nine lives, with the help of Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) and a canine companion named Perro (Harvey Guillen).
However, he must fend off others who want the power of the star to grant their own wishes, such as Goldilocks, the Big Bad Wolf, and other fairy tale creatures.
DreamWorks officially released a new synopsis for the film:
For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet. Academy Award® nominee Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious PiB as he embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives.
But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Oscar® nominee Salma Hayek). In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Harvey Guillén, What We Do in the Shadows). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Oscar® nominee Florence Pugh, Black Widow) and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner (Emmy winner John Mulaney, Big Mouth) and terrifying bounty hunter, The Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura, Narcos).
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will release in theaters on December 21, 2022.
