There are newcomers to the Kung Fu Panda franchise. In a video posted on DreamWorks’ TikTok, Jack Black calls Viola Davis and Awkwafina to officially welcome them to the upcoming fourth Kung Fu Panda film.
Davis will voice Chameleon, a powerful sorceress and wicked tiny lizard/shapeshifter interested in stealing Po’s staff of wisdom to re-summon all the master villains Po vanquished to the spirit realm. Awkwafina will voice Zhen, a thieving corsac fox who will become Po’s new ally to keep the Valley of Peace safe.Dust
Davis and Awkwafina are not the only newcomers; Ke Huy Quan will also join Po’s latest adventure as Han, the leader of the Den of Thieves.
Black will reprise his role as the spirited Kung Fu master Po, with Dustin Hoffman returning as Kung Fu master Shifu, James Hong as Po’s adoptive father, Mr. Ping, Bryan Cranston as Po’s birth father Li, and Ian McShane as Tai Lung.
Mike Mitchell is directing with Stephanie Ma Stine as co-director. Rebecca Huntley is producing the animated film.
Kung Fu Panda 4 will hit theaters on March 8.
