"Shrek Forever After" was proclaimed as the final chapter of the green swamp-dweller's story in 2010, but actor Antonio Banderas has hinted that Mike Myers and Shrek might appear in upcoming movie "Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves".

"I heard some rumours that Shrek may be coming back, That would be great. Shrek doing a cameo... in MY movie? Uh, huh! Yeah, I'd like that," Banderas told the Empire's podcast, reports aceshowbiz.com

The sequel of 2011's "Puss in Boots" is scheduled to be released in the US on December 21, 2018.

The 54-year-old actor said: "The process for these movies are way longer than people think. They are restructuring the script now. We started... but that's the process."

"A lot of people participate in the creation of the script and the story and the narrative, everything. And they include you! They take you to California and you read the script with them, give them your ideas, and a couple of months later you see a new script where everything has been touched (up)," he added.

"Puss in Boots 2" will be directed by Chris Miller, who directed the original film.
