Po is reunited with his biological father and must train a village full of clumsy pandas to defeat the supernatural nemesis Kai, in the new trailer for the latest entry in DreamWorks’s Kung Fu Panda franchise.
Like the past films in the series, Kung Fu Panda 3 stars Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, and David Cross as anthropomorphized martial arts masters. This time around, they are joined by Legend of Korra’s J.K. Simmons as the villainous Kai, as well as Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston as Po’s father Li, whose reappearance leads his legendarily hungry son to a secret panda paradise stuffed with fun-loving bears, including those of the female variety, like Mei Mei (voiced by Rebel Wilson).
Earlier this year, it was announced that Alessandro Carloni, animation supervisor on the first Kung Fu Panda and story artist on the second, would join Jennifer Yuh Nelson as co-director, a directorial addition that was reportedly requested personally by Yuh herself.
