Salma Hayek Pinault, Antonio Banderas and Harvey Guillén will star in the Puss in Boots sequel The Last Wish.

As reported by the publication, The Last Wish follows Puss in Boots “as he discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll.”

The film will be released on September 23, 2022, with Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado as director and co-director. Mark Swift will produce, while Chris Meledandri will executive produce.

“We started the new one four days ago,” Banderas said in 2014 referring to the frist movie. “It did incredibly well with audiences and critics, all around the world, and the character is going to keep going. With Jeffrey [Katzenberg], whatever he wants. He’s one of my favorite producers. This character was born almost 12 years ago. We have had a lot of fun with him, and it seems that audiences do, too. So, we’re doing another one.”
