Not that he had to beg for it….

Antonio Banderas has confirmed that his character from Shrek, Puss In Boots, is getting his own spin-off movie. The planned project will also star Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis and will be traced back to the cat’s childhood years.

Banderas 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.”

His character should appear this summer on the very last Shrek film.
