It’s been 8 years since the last in the Kung-Fu Panda series came and went so this one feels lie a brand reawakening with Gen Z in mind.

Shifu believes that it’s time for Po (Jack Black) to go on to bigger things. By that he means Po must assume the role of a spiritual leader now and leave the fighting of evil to his successor. He tasks Po with finding a successor to be the next Dragon Warrior but Po just doesn’t believe he is ready to give up the post which he has made his own. In the meantime he crosses path with a bandit fox Zhen (Awkwafina) who he must team up with to defeat The Chameleon (Viola Davis)a wicked sorceress, who has plans to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm, using their accumulated power to rule over the cities all the way to the valley of Peace.
