– ⚠️ Does not exist. There is no Madagascar 4 . DreamWorks made Penguins of Madagascar (2014) as a spin-off, and the main series stopped at three. (Some rumors or fan wish-lists float around, but no official fourth film.)

While not a direct sequel in the "Madagascar 1, 2, 3" numbering, the 2014 film Penguins of Madagascar is an essential part of the franchise's legacy. This spin-off places the penguins—Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private—into the spotlight. In the film, the four birds join forces with an elite interspecies spy organization called the "North Wind" (led by a suave wolf voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) to stop a vengeful octopus, Dr. Octavius Brine (voiced by John Malkovich), from destroying the penguins of the world. Known for its fast-paced action and the same brand of irreverent humor that made the penguins fan favorites, the film was a solid commercial hit, grossing $373.5 million globally on a $132 million budget, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.
