Enter The Chameleon, a formidable sorceress with shape-shifting abilities, poised as Po's latest adversary. Her menacing quest? To acquire the kung fu prowess of former foes. Po, joined by a new ally named Zhen, must rally to thwart The Chameleon and safeguard the Valley of Peace.
Jack Black returns as Po, the unexpected hero in this latest sequel to the widely adored DreamWorks franchise.

Han, the leader uniting the city's criminals, is voiced by Ke Huy Quan, known for roles in Loki and Everything Everywhere All at Once. The Chameleon herself is voiced by Viola Davis, whose portrayal of another villain in The Hunger Games prequel captivated audiences. Davis has long desired to portray a villain, promising an intriguing performance.
Alongside these fresh voices, the movie brings back familiar talents. Jack Black reprises his role as Po, while Dustin Hoffman returns as Master Shifu. Ian McShane revives his original villain, Tai Lung. Moreover, both of Po's father figures, voiced by James Hong and Bryan Cranston, are set to make appearances.
