How to Watch ‘Kung Fu Panda 4’: Is the Animated Sequel Streaming or in Theaters?
Green yin yang staff, huge appetite and all, Po (Jack Black) will take another adventure to face a formidable foe in “Kung Fu Panda 4.” Po has fought his fair share of intimidating masters in the various aspects of Kung Fu. From Ian McShane’s Tai Lung in the first film to Gary Oldman’s pyrotechnic peacock Shen to J.K. Simmons’ xi-capturing ox, Po has learned valuable lessons along the way in each installment of the franchise.
His adoptive father, Mr. Ping (voiced by James Hong), taught him one of the most valuable lessons of all once Po took the leap from working in his father’s noodle shop to becoming the Dragon Warrior—“There is no secret ingredient.” Then, in the second film, he discovered that his panda parents had given him up for safety, and he reunited with his father Li (voiced by Bryan Cranston) in the third film.

In addition to stopping the attempts of Viola Davis’ Chameleon to harness the power of all the great kung fu masters and morph into a really scary creature with all of their powers combined, Po is tasked by Master Shifu to find a replacement Dragon Warrior so that Po himself can elevate to Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Zhen the fox (Awkwafina) guides Po to Juniper City to take it back from The Chameleon’s clutches. The fox revisits her own past and roots while aiding Po, who sees potential in her.
