Antonio Banderas has revealed that a Puss In Boots spin off movie is in the pipeline.
The actor is returning to the role in Shrek Forever After but has already started the voice work on the spin off movie.
Speaking to the Press Association the actor said: "I already did the first recordings and it's going to be called Puss In Boots - it starts when he was very little.
"He was in an orphanage when he first discovered the effect he has on people - that's when he starts being intelligent."
It's the third of the Shrek movies in which Puss In Boots has featured and the actor admitted that he was surprised to have been offered the role.
"When I got to the United States - I was 30 at the time - I didn't speak the language at all. The fact they gave me a character for the use of my voice only was quite surprising, but I suppose I have such an accent that is so recognisable that they thought it was perfect," he said.
"Because I had been playing characters that were bigger than life, heroic, stuff like that, putting it into a tiny body of a pussy cat was fun.
"This last one is very surprising because Puss is very fat - he just let himself go badly. So he doesn't feel like hunting any more or killing others, he's just lazy, very lazy."
Shrek Forever After is released 9th July.
