“Kung Fu Panda 4” Trailer, Poster, Clips and Featurettes

Mike Mitchell directs Kung Fu Panda 4. The story begins after three death-defying adventures, defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills; Po, the Dragon Warrior, played by Jack Black, is called upon by destiny to give it a rest. More specifically, he’s tapped to 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, a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon, played by Viola Davis, a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. 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 Po has defeated into the spirit realm.

So, Po’s going to need some help. He finds it as a crafty, quick-witted thief, Zhen, played by Awkwafina, a corsac fox who gets under Po’s fur but whose skills will prove invaluable. This comedic odd-couple duo must cooperate to protect the Valley of Peace from Chameleon’s reptilian claws. In the process, Po will discover that heroes appear in the most unexpected places.

The supporting cast includes Dustin Hoffman, James Hong, Bryan Cranston and Ian McShane.
