DreamWorks Animation has released a new trailer for Kung Fu Panda 3, the trilogy-maker in their hit animated franchise.
The trailer is brief, but features a nice tip of the hat to Star Wars. It involves Po (voiced once again by Jack Black) and his father Li (Bryan Cranston), a reunion that was teased at the end of Kung Fu Panda 2.
You can watch the new trailer and see a poster for the movie below.
It’s already been over two years since we found out that Bryan Cranston, Rebel Wilson, and Mads Mikkelsen (who has since departed the cast due to scheduling conflict) had been cast in Kung Fu Panda 3, joining returning stars Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, David Cross, and Dustin Hoffman. It’s already been four years since Kung Fu Panda 2 arrived in theaters, believe it or not, on its way to $665.6 million worldwide.
Now the sequel has resurfaced as DreamWorks Animation begins promoting the movie. The first images have been released online and can be seen below, along with some quotes from the cast.
The cast for DreamWorks Animation’s Kung Fu Panda 3 is growing strong with the addition of three new talents.
Lending their voice to the trilogy-maker is Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Godzilla), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Hannibal), and Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Pain & Gain).
The actors join a cast that already includes returning stars Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, and others.
Amazon has eight titles available in their Digital Rental Deals for this weekend, which include several new movies, like The Smurfs, Colombiana, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Final Destination 5, for only $1.99 each.
