In the new trailer for _Kung Fu Panda 3_, Po (voiced by Jack Black) is back, and after reuniting with his long-lost birth father (Bryan Cranston), he’s discovered an entire panda-populated village in the mountains. But when the supernatural Kai (J.K. Simmons) begins to threaten all of China, it’s up to Po to teach his friends, both new and old, how to become kung fu masters. Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, and Lucy Liu are all returning as the voices of Po’s friends, and Kate Hudson voices new panda Mei Mei. _Kung Fu Panda 3_ is set to hit theaters on Jan. 29, 2016. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/03/jack-black-jk-simmons-kung-fu-panda-3-trailer) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) 'Kung Fu Panda 3' Trailer: Jack Black Meets His Panda Father ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4098705/kung-fu-panda-3-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4098705/kung-fu-panda-3-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch Jack Black Meet His Panda Father in the New Kung Fu Panda 3 Trailer","datePublished":"2015-11-03T20:46:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:19:05.674Z","description":"The weight is over","url":"https://time.com/4098705/kung-fu-panda-3-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Jack Black"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf0757293b85ab607/69886f6f428a9ed4a4ccfea6/kung-fu-panda-2-jack-black.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Devan Coggan / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf0757293b85ab607/69886f6f428a9ed4a4ccfea6/kung-fu-panda-2-jack-black.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"A scene from \"Kung Fu Panda 2.\"","caption":"A scene from \"Kung Fu Panda 2.\"","creditText":"Paramount Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4098705/kung-fu-panda-3-trailer/","name":"Watch Jack Black Meet His Panda Father in the New Kung Fu Panda 3 Trailer"}}]}] ```
