Kung Fu Panda 4 Trailer Gives Us More Kung Fu, More Panda, and Viola Davis Voicing a Chameleon

By

Published on December 13, 2023

If you’ve been waking up every day for the past decade just pining for a fourth installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, I’ve got the best news for you! Kung Fu Panda 4 will soon be playing at a theater near you, and we’ve got a trailer teasing what’s in store for the Jack Black-voiced Po (a.k.a. the Kung Fu Panda).

As the trailer lays out, Po—who is the renowned Dragon Warrior famous for felling at least three mega-villains in the first three Kung Fu Panda films—has been tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace instead. Peaceful things like meditation, however, don’t seem to be Po’s jam, and the martial arts expert is soon called upon to face another villain called the Chameleon (voiced by Viola Davis?!), who desperately wants Po’s magical staff.

Po, with the help of some thieves including a crafty fox voiced by Awkwafina, takes on the Chameleon. Epic battles ensue!

The sequel comes to us from director Mike Mitchell and co-director Stephanie Ma Stine. In addition to Black, Davis, and Awkwafina, Kung Fu Panda 4 features the voices of Dustin Hoffman as Kung Fu master, Shifu, James Hong (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Po’s adoptive father, Mr. Ping, Bryan Cranston as Po’s birth father, Li, and Ian McShane as Tai Lung, Shifu’s former student and arch-nemesis. Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once) also joins the ensemble as a new character, Han, the leader of the Den of Thieves.

What an A-list voice cast! No news on when specifically Kung Fu Panda 4 will kick its way into theaters, but we do know it will be sometime in Spring 2024.
