Producer Guillermo Del Toro teased what to expect over a year ago, telling Collider, "We basically talked about where we would go in the third one in the second one. We really finished [Kung Fu Panda 2] with the real father of Po saying 'My son is alive,' so that allows us to continue that arc of Po as a character," Del Toro said.
"All I can say is the bad guy in the third one is possibly the most formidable villain in the series... We finished an outline, we presented a character design, we presented a couple of sequences in storyboard, and we're very hard at work on a screenplay."
That formidable villain could be voiced by former Bond bad guy and current Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen, who is rumored to be a part of the film.
As for a love interest for Po, it seems like Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson will be joining the cast as a possible romantic partner for the hero, voiced by Black.
Other rumored voices include Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston in an unspecified role.
