“Kung fu Panda” came as a hope for chubby people trying to learn self-defense (you know, because of our age-old tradition called “bullying”) it also came as a hope for people who loved Dumplings and Kung Fu (yes, you can eat and learn). The previous three parts were very successful, gaining recognition all over the world from critics and the general public. Since then the franchise has gained enormous fan following and fans are truly expecting an exciting fourth instalment.
When is “Kung Fu Panda: 4” going to Release?
DreamWorks has not announced any dates yet, although there was a rumor after the release of the third installment that the fourth part is going to release in 2018. It was cleared that there had been some scripting issues, and we will get a follow up about the film releasing in 2020. The problem can also be the shutting down of productions due to the pandemic. But we still hope that we will see at least a trailer at the end of this year.
Who is going to be in the Fourth part and what’s the New Plot?
DreamWorks has not announced any cast or plot yet, but we know Jack Black will voice “Po”, along with Dustin Hoffman as ”Master Shifu” and Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, and other permanent cast members. As for the plot, we expect “Po” to learn Kung Fu from his newly found father from the third part, there are also some fan theories which suggest a female villain for the fourth part.
Kung Fu Panda released in 2008 to good critical response and astounding public response. Directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, it follows the story of “Po”, a Slothy Panda destined to become the “Dragon Warrior” and save an ancient Chinese civilization where anthropomorphic animals are in threat from different villains. It has been said that the franchise will release six parts out of which three have been released.
“At once fuzzy-wuzzy and industrial strength, the tacky-sounding Kung Fu Panda is a high concept with a heart,” said The New York Times, it also said that the film is “visually arresting”.
Time Magazine stated that the picture “provides a master course in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment”.
