Antonio Banderas has signed up for a movie starring his Shrek character Puss in Boots.
The Spanish actor provided the voice for the charismatic feline in 2004's Shrek 2 and its follow-up Shrek The Third, which will be released in the UK later this month.
Now he has agreed to star in the character's own movie, Puss In Boots: The Story of an Ogre Killer.
He told the Daily Express: "The movie is going to show his back history, from being born a kitten to the swaggering cat that he is today.
"I've seen the scripts and they're very emotional, as well as very funny, and that's a combination that I think the audiences will like."
