The Newest Poster For Kung Fu Panda 4 Reunites Us With The Dragon Warrior

The new poster for Kung Fu Panda 4 reunites Po, Master Shifu, and Tai Lung.

Although we are still some way away from reuniting with Po in Dreamworks’ KUNG FU PANDA 4, the studio is walking the way of the warrior. Master Shifu and the Furious Five are putting the Dragon Warrior through his paces as the latest sequel gears up for release. And with the adventure hitting our screens on March 29th, Dreamworks has fired up the promotional campaign.

Today, the studio has adopted the teachings of the Dragon Scroll and released an all-new poster for the movie. The glossy one-sheet boasts the talents of Jack Black’s legendary Dragon Warrior, Master Shifu, and the villainous Tai Lung. And there’s even room for the new big bad Chameleon (Viola Davis) to add some much-needed menace. But before we get too excited, join the citizens of the Valley of Peace and check out the poster below.

SYNOPSIS

Po, the Dragon Warrior, has already defeated world-class villains in three death-defying adventures with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills. However, he is now called upon by destiny to take a break from all the action and become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet. And second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior. Before he can assume his new lofty position.

Even worse, there’s been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon (Oscar® winner Viola Davis). A tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. And Chameleon has her greedy, beady little eyes on Po’s Staff of Wisdom. Which would give her the power to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm.

So, Po’s going to need some help. He finds it (kinda?) in the form of crafty, quick-witted thief Zhen (Golden Globe winner Awkwafina), a corsac fox who really gets under Po’s fur but whose skills will prove invaluable. In their quest to protect the Valley of Peace from Chameleon’s reptilian claws, this comedic odd-couple duo will have to work together. In the process, Po will discover that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.

THE VOICE CAST

The film features the voice talent of returning stars Academy Award® winner Dustin Hoffman as Kung Fu master, Shifu; James Hong (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Po’s adoptive father, Mr. Ping; Academy Award® nominee Bryan Cranston as Po’s birth father, Li, and Emmy Award nominee Ian McShane as Tai Lung, Shifu’s former student and arch-nemesis. Oscar® winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once) joins the ensemble as a new character, Han, the leader of the Den of Thieves.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Kung Fu Panda 4 is directed by Mike Mitchell (DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls, Shrek Forever After) and produced by Rebecca Huntley (DreamWorks Animation’s The Bad Guys). The film’s co-director is Stephanie Ma Stine (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power). In 2008, the Academy Award®-nominated 2008 inaugural chapter, Kung Fu Panda, became DreamWorks Animation’s highest-grossing original animated film and launched a franchise that has earned more than $1.8 billion at the global box office.

RELEASE

I don’t know about you, but I am one hundred percent ready to return to the Valley of Peace with Po and the gang. Jack Black has been away from the role of Po for far too long. And with the Furious Five back in action, and Tai Lung on hand to throw the Valley of Peace into chaos, this sequel is easily one of the top contenders for the hit of the year. But has he been away too long? Or has his hiatus only sharpened his skills with and intensified his appetite for noodles? All will be revealed when the movie Ninja kicks its way into UK cinemas on March 28th.
