Kung Fu Panda 4 is confirmed and has a March 2024 release date. Here’s all that’s known about Dreamworks’ new Kung Fu Panda movie so far.

Kung Fu Panda 4 Release Date

The Kung Fu Panda 4 release date is March 8, 2024. Although the expansion of the Kung Fu Panda franchise has continued through TV shows, the confirmation that Kung Fu Panda 4 was in development by DreamWorks Animation was unexpected. There was hope but not much of an expectation of a fourth installment, despite the Kung Fu Panda feature films being major successes at the box office.

Jack Black will return to voice Po, as he has throughout all three previous films. Awkwafina is joining the cast as the crafty thief Zhen who is trained by Po to become the newest Dragon Warrior. She will be joined by Oscar winners Viola Davis as Chameleon and Ke Huye Quan as Han. Davis’ Chameleon is the new villain of Kung Fu Panda 4, a shapeshifter who uses her powers to embody all the traits of Po’s former enemies.

Kung Fu Panda 4 is on the way and there are already exciting updates about the newest Dreamworks hit. Originally debuting in 2008, the Kung Fu Panda series follows a clumsy panda named Po (Jack Black) who learns to harness his potential as a martial arts master. Noted for its slapstick humor, playful art style, and boisterous action, the Kung Fu Panda franchise has proven to be one of Dreamworks’ biggest success stories.

Through the inclusion of TV shows, video games, theme park attractions, and a host of other media, Kung Fu Panda has remained viable even years after the debut of the first film. Unlike other animated series which tend to diminish over time, the Kung Fu Panda trilogy has maintained a positive reputation with critics and each entry has grossed at least $500 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo). This dual success has made a fourth movie a necessity, and Universal is finally moving forward with Kung Fu Panda 4.
