"Kung Fu Panda 3" is set to bringing more awesome stuffs to its viewers with the revelation of three new concept arts of the Panda Village, which is set to bring Po, voiced by Jack Black, into a world that he thought never existed. Plus, the Kung Fu-filled film will be entranced with J. K. Simmons joining as the supernatural villain named Kai.
The three concept arts of the Panda Village for "Kung Fu Panda 3" is presented differently when compared to the regular villages that the first two installments have shown. They accentuate peace, innocence and all-out cuddliness - the same kind of vibes every panda-ridden community would exhibit.
From Coming Soon, DreamWorks Animation production designer Raymond Zibach explains the need of expressing how special this village would be for Po. "The fact that he comes back to other pandas and is going to learn their way of life was kind of magical to him because he thought none of this ever existed," he expounded.
With Jennifer Yuh Nelson returning in the director's seat, "Kung Fu Panda 3" has Po embarking on a new adventure after finally meeting his long lost father Li (Byran Cranston) who takes him to the village where his kind resides. After meeting the rest of his kin, they found out about the impending danger brought about by Kai, characterized by Academy Award winner J. K. Simmons, the supernatural villain who takes on the pilgrimage to annihilate every Kung Fu Master that exists.
As described by Nelson when she compared how strongly compelling Kai is to the previous villains-she said, 'You can't go brawler because Tai Lung was brawler. You can't go smarter because Shen was smarter. Where can you go? You have to go supernatural, bigger, and even more intimidating."
"Kung Fu Panda 3" is based on the script written together by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger. Apart from Jack Black, the original casts like Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross and James Hong retain their roles. With Randall Duk Kim, Bryan Cranston and Rebel Wilson-added into the awesome mix. It is slated to hit the theaters on January 29, 2016.
