Kung Fu Panda 4 reveals the return of the biggest villains, audiences wait for its release date

Information that the movie Kung Fu Panda 4 will be released in 2024 is attracting the audience's attention. Accordingly, in this comeback part there will also appear familiar villains such as Tai Lung, Shen and Kai.

After success at the box office, earning nearly 632 million USD with the first film, the two sequels Kung Fu Panda 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3 were released in 2011 and 2016 respectively. The three films brought in profits for DreamWorks and Universal $1.8 billion at the global box office, making Kung Fu Panda the 10th highest-grossing animated film series of all time.

The sequel Kung Fu Panda 4 is also expected to continue reaching its peak at the box office. The film focuses on Po (voiced by Jack Black) - an excitable panda living in ancient China. Po the panda has come a long way, from a clumsy bear passionate about kung fu martial arts to becoming the "Dragon God Hero" with a reputation that resonates everywhere.

The first three Kung Fu Panda films saw Po encounter several powerful villains. Po's journey to becoming the Dragon Warrior began with fighting Tai Lung in the original film, before the sequel delved deeper into Po's life story, introducing the villain Lord Shen. Kung Fu Panda 3 then brings Kai in, giving him the power to steal other people's chi and turn kung fu masters into his minions.

As revealed in the first Kung Fu Panda 4 trailer, Po's next opponent will be The Chameleon. The series' new villain is voiced by Viola Davis and has shapeshifting powers, putting an interesting mystical twist on the reptile's usual physical transformation abilities. The released trailer shows just how much of a threat The Chameleon poses to Po and the Kung Fu Panda universe. She is shown to have transformed into several of the former Dragon Warrior's opponents, including a giant, evil version of himself. However, a line hinting at her plans causes the series' biggest villains to return.

Near the beginning of the trailer, Chameleon's plans for world domination were revealed when she said she wanted to possess the kung fu power of every villainous master. This includes bringing Tai Lung back in Kung Fu Panda 4 . The return of Po's first villain is directly tied to her plans, as The Chameleon is shown seemingly stealing and absorbing the snow leopard's kung fu abilities. The Chameleon's ability to transform into Tai Lung was later demonstrated, but he was not the only master villain she desired.

If her plan is to acquire the skills of kung fu masters, then the remaining Kung Fu Panda villains must return as well. Lords Shen and Kai are both stronger than Tai Lung. Considering The Chameleon seemingly reached out to the Spirit Realm to bring Tai Lung back, the same could happen with Lords Shen and Kai. Lord Shen does not appear in the Spirit Realm in Lord Shen, but he is said to be dead in Kung Fu Panda 2 , which means he could be there as well. Although Kai appears to have been destroyed forever, there is always the possibility that his soul will reunite in the afterlife.

Seeing Po's previous villains return in Kung Fu Panda 4 could come with a surprising element of team-up. Since The Chameleon wanted to steal kung fu from all the previous master villains, it's possible that she left them all powerless and without their special skills. Instead of Kung Fu Panda 4 bringing back Po's greatest enemies, teaming up to take him down, the film could explore him teaching them martial arts on the condition that they "reform". That creates the interesting possibility that Kung Fu Panda 4 could show Po, Tai Lung, Lord Shen and Kai fighting together to defeat The Chameleon.
