Seriously, I was just waiting for that big climactic sequence in which Po just busts out a sitar from out of nowhere and vanquishes Ian McShane's Tai Lung character with the Ancient Chinsese Rock. Thomas Jacob Black, because when he's not doing or at least faking some pretty cool stuff, he's a soft-spoken, but still kind of annoying nerd. No, I don't simply mean that he's playing the character that he always does, I mean that we're looking at a cartoon panda version of Mr. have been plastered over toys, video games, books and theme park attractions.Vocally, most of the performers fit their roles like gloves, but really, when you look at who they usually play, you never would have guessed most of the people behind these voices, and I only bring that up because, while most of these voice actors are so far out of their comfort zone it's ridiculous, Jack Black is playing Jack Black. Ping) and Rita Ora.Īnd they were just the tip of the iceberg, as Po and co. Nickelodeon has ‘Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness’, which features a different voice cast, while Netflix’s ‘Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight’ boasts the talents of Black, James Hong (as Po’s adoptive goose father, Mr. Since then, Po and the Five have been on various adventures across the three movies and their stories have also spread to TV. He’ll need everything he’s learned and the help of those formidable warriors for help when the scheming snow leopard warrior Tai Lung ( Ian McShane) escapes prison and wreaks havoc on the valley. Under the patient tutelage of Master Sifu ( Dustin Hoffman), Po learns kung fu and meets the Five – Tigress ( Angelina Jolie), Crane ( David Cross), Monkey ( Jackie Chan), Viper ( Lucy Liu), and Mantis ( Seth Rogen). No-one is more surprised than he, then, when he’s selected as the hero who can defend the Valley of Peace. He’s also a massive fan of martial artists and dreams of fighting alongside the legendary Furious Five. ‘Kung Fu Panda’, which was directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson, kicked off the story of Po (Black), a wide-eyed panda who is mostly known for being lazy and having a huge appetite.

That’s still a mystery, but it’ll be something to test his bravery and skill as ever. We can reasonably predict that Jack Black will be back as Po, and since these job only involve turning up to a recording booth (or, in this pandemic world, setting yourself up in a closet or room of your home) a few times, the rest of the star cast are likely to be back alongside him. These movies, after all, usually take between three to five years to make. No director or even a confirmation of the voice cast has been revealed about the latest ‘Kung Fu Panda’, but since the studio was confident enough to announce a release date, we can reasonably assume that production is underway, even if it’s still at an early stage.
KUNG FU PANDA CAST MOVIE
So far, all we really know about the movie is the fact that it’ll be out on March 8th, 2024 as Universal and DWA stick a pin in that release date, which right now only has ‘ A Quiet Place: Day One,’ and the new ‘Panda’ could well serve as family-friendly counterprogramming to the expansion of Paramount’s creature feature franchise.

KUNG FU PANDA CAST SERIES
We’re not surprised, then, to see that the ‘ Kung Fu Panda’ movie series will be coming back – but not until 2024. If there’s one thing we know about DreamWorks Animation, it’s that the company is not one to let a successful franchise venture off into the sunset.
