Latino Shrek demands just enough to return in the fifth film

Voice actor Alfonso Obregón sets conditions to return as Shrek in the fifth film, asking for recognition and fair payment.

The favorite ogre sets conditions

The news of Shrek 5 has everyone excited. But there is a crucial detail for Latin America: the return of the voice that gave soul to the green ogre for more than two decades.

Alfonso ‘Ponchito’ Obregón, the Shrek of an entire region, is not willing to return simply. And he is saying it clearly on social networks.

“Listen to me, I’m not going to make the movie if I don’t direct it, if they don’t give me my credit and if they don’t pay me well. I don’t want to charge the same as Mike Myers, I want to charge fairly,”

This was stated by Obregón in a video where he uses scenes from the original film. Three clear demands: creative control, public recognition and financial compensation that reflects their contribution.

A campaign with a meme flavor

The actor started a digital movement asking for the public’s support. The slogan: use the hashtag #mygrofavorito to put pressure on DreamWorks Animation.

The response was immediate and massive. The comments poured in:

“Shrek in ALL of Latin America is you Ponchito”
“There is only one Shrek and his last name is Obregón”
“Without Alfonso there is no Shrek”

This is not just an artist’s whim. The Latin dubbing of Shrek is a case study. Actors adapted scripts, added idioms and created unique connections with the audience. It was magic made voice.

Now, that magic has a price. And its chief sorcerer demands that it be valued accordingly. The future of the most beloved ogre in Spanish cinema could depend on this negotiation.

Meanwhile, fans wait. And they tweet. Because some heroes don’t wear a cape, they wear a microphone.

Liam Gallagher provokes a wave of reactions after England’s victory

Liam Gallagher revived the controversy after the English victory over Mexico in the 2026 World Cup.

Liam Gallagher did not hold back after the match that eliminated Mexico from the 2026 World Cup. The Oasis singer, who had predicted a 5-0 in favor of England, celebrated his team’s victory in X and responded to those who criticized him.

The prognosis and the celebration

Although the final score was 3-2 for the British, Gallagher remembered his prediction. He posted: “It’s hard work that singing Harry Kane, cmon ENGLAND, cmon ‘WONDERWALL’.” The tweet accumulated thousands of reactions and comments.

Mexican users, upset by the defeat, responded with insults. One wrote: “No one in Mexico gives a shit about your stupid boring old music, I don’t even know who you are haha.”

Gallagher replied: “Stop crying uncontrollably.” There were also those who supported him, like one user who said: “Oasis – 1 / Mana – 0, I love you, Liam.” The musician replied: “Louder.”

Other responses included “this is just childish,” “thank you and bad luck,” and “I watched (the match) and it was intense.”

The controversy had begun before the match, when Fher Olvera, Maná’s vocalist, urged Gallagher to respect Mexico. The Mexican team, led by Javier Aguirre, said goodbye with their heads held high after demonstrating a good performance, but failed to advance to the quarterfinals.

George Clooney receives Golden Lion in Venice

George Clooney will receive the Golden Lion in Venice after eleven appearances at the festival.

George Clooney will be awarded the Golden Lion at the 83rd Venice Film Festival, which will be held from September 2 to 12. It is the eleventh time that the actor and director has set foot in Laguna.

His first appearance was in 1998 with Out of Sight, by Steven Soderbergh. There he played Jack Foley, a bank robber who falls in love with a federal agent (Jennifer Lopez). The film catapulted him beyond the ER series.

Last year he returned with Jay Kelly, by Noah Baumbach, where he plays an actor in crisis. Although he did not attend the press conference, he did walk the red carpet with his wife, Amal Alamuddin.

“I’ve had so many extraordinary moments in Venice. The festival is, without a doubt, my favorite, and receiving the Golden Lion is a huge honor. It probably also means I’m getting older, but that’s okay,” Clooney said.

The actor, director and producer has two Oscars and four Golden Globes, as well as an Emmy, a BAFTA, two Critics Choice and the American Film Institute’s lifetime achievement award. He is also a UN Messenger of Peace and a human rights activist.

The director of the festival, Alberto Barbera, highlighted its triple facet:

“In his triple role as actor, director and producer, Clooney is a consummate and charismatic artist: passionate and original. His charisma is based on credibility rather than mere image. He is a perfect blend of old-school star glamour, great professionalism and modern sensibility.”

Barbera mentioned his versatility in genres such as war films (Three Kings, Syriana), thrillers (Michael Clayton), sophisticated comedies (Ocean’s Eleven, O Brother, Where Art Thou?) and science fiction (Gravity, Solaris).

Behind the camera, he has directed nine films. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Good Night, and Good Luck, The Ides of March and Suburbicon reflect his social commitment and demanding vision of cinema.

Clooney has visited the Lido on multiple occasions: in 2003 with Intolerable Cruelty; in 2005 with Good Night, and Good Luck (winner of the Osella Award and the Volpi Cup); in 2007 with Michael Clayton; and in 2008 with Burn After Reading. In 2013 he opened the festival with Gravity, by Alfonso Cuarón. In 2017 he competed with Suburbicon and in 2024 he presented Wolfs.

With eight Oscar nominations, he is the person with the most nominations in different categories. His Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck also earned him a Tony nomination.

Through Smokehouse Pictures, his most recent direction was The Boys in the Boat for MGM. On television, he produced the series The Agency for Showtime, based on the French series Le Bureau des Légendes, already renewed for a second season.
