The third film of the acclaimed franchise has him finally meeting his biological clan…
The makers of Kung Fu Panda 3 have released the first trailer of the film. The trailer takes up from where the last part ended. With the addition that this time over Jack Black relaises that he is not the only Panda in the world. If we recall the makers released the first look from the film a few weeks back and now they are up with the trailer, which gives you more insight into Po’s life.
Kung Fu Panda 2 was released way back in 2011, but people still have a very strong loving connection with the obese yet loveable panda, who can spring up a mean kick if you dare cross with him. If you remember well, the last film ended on a cliff-hanger – Po (voiced by Jack Black) thought he was the only panda around, and had accepted Mr. Ping, a crane, as his father finally. It was then shown that, miles away, a clan of pandas still exists and one of them senses that his son is alive!
The third part of the franchise is all set to strike at your theaters on Januray 2016. Going by what we saw, Po will finally reunite with his biological relatives, including his real father, who will be voiced by Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston. However, the two come face to face and discuss about their lost family members, but couldn’t make out that they two are completely alike. Funny isn’t it?
The trailer also promises that there will also be some other ‘lil pandas to give him some competition to Po in cuteness. Though, I am guessing there will be some kind of friction between Po and his foster father, Ping, when the former discovers his real family.
Most of the original cast will also return for the three-quel – Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu) and Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman). If you haven’t got it out of your head yet, there was some slight romantic vibe going on between Po and Tigress (yup, it sounds unearthly and awkward, but cute here!). In the third part, there will be another female vying for his affections – a female panda, voiced by Pitch Perfect‘s Rebel Wilson. That’s another aspect worth looking out for!
Kung Fu Panda 3 is directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, and we will be eagerly waiting with our black belts on for January next year. What about you BollywoodLifers? Let us know after watching the trailer right here.
