With its March release date hurtling towards us, there’s a new Kung Fu Panda 3 trailer promising some fancy fighting moves online.
The new movie’s story finds Po confronting something he never thought possible – the return of his long-lost father, Li Shan (Bryan Cranston). The happy family reunion means that he is able to visit a secret panda paradise where many of his species are still living happily, including Mei Mei (Kate Hudson), who falls for our hero. But his joy is short-lived, as the supernatural villain Kai (J.K. Simmons) is soon sweeping across China, neutralizing the kung fu masters as he goes. Po is faced with the ultimate challenge: training up a village full of his laidback, clumsy, fun-loving panda brethren to become a fighting unit to take on the new threat. Can he become a teacher when he can barely keep himself in fighting shape?
With Jennifer Yuh once more in the director’s chair and Alessandro Carloni as co-director, Kung Fu Panda 3 sees the return of the regular voice cast including Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross and James Hong. It all roundhouse kicks off on March 11.
