Yes. There is a part 5 in this franchise. 20th Century Fox made a recent announcement that the movie will be released on July 15, 2016. There hasn’t been any indication on which actors of the previous installments will be returning to voice their characters. Nonetheless, it will be entertaining for sure. To have four successful films as its prequel, this one does put a bit of pressure on Blue Sky Studios (owned by Fox, through which the movie was released). However, considering they have grossed over $2.8 billion worldwide from the movies – I believe they have the formula right.
