Kung Fu Panda 3 Directors Alessandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh

It was eight years ago that audiences first met DreamWork Animation‘s lovable Kung Fu Panda, Po, and five years ago that we last saw the character (voiced by Jack Black) on the big screen. On January 29th, Po is back alongside the Furious Five (voiced by Jackie Chan, David Cross, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen) and about to come face to face with his birth father (Bryan Cranston). Unfortunately, the “Dragon Warrior” is also about to become targeted by a dangerous new foe, Kai (J.K. Simmons), who has powers and abilities unlike anything Po has ever faced before.
Melissa Cobb: We definitely started with something we knew, which was that his dad was going to come to this movie.
Jennifer Yuh: After the end of “Kung Fu Panda 2,” we knew the audience would be really mad if the dad didn’t show up.
Alessandro Carloni: Plus, coming face to face with your father connects to a universal theme about identity and about the search for self, which perfectly fits within the franchise.
CS: There’s also Po becoming a teacher, which seems like an important development for his character.
Jennifer Yuh: It’s also the thing that he’s the least suited to do. One of the things we love about Po is that he’s vulnerable. He’s someone that we can all identify with because he has those insecurities. He’s an outsider-feeling guy. He’s never comfortable in positions like that. You see him become this guy, this Kung Fu guy, and it’s important to ask, “What is that next step?” He’s always moving. When he becomes a teacher, he’s following a path spreads beyond himself.
Melissa Cobb: When you become a teacher, you’ve reached a point where you yourself have something to impart. For a character that’s so insecure, that’s a big step. To be good enough to teach others? That’s a big thing for him.It was eight years ago that audiences first met DreamWork Animation‘s lovable Kung Fu Panda, Po, and five years ago that we last saw the character (voiced by Jack Black) on the big screen.

Marvel movies are getting a whole lot bloodier. Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds, is the first feature film to put the spotlight on The Merc with the Mouth, the man formerly known as Wade Winston Wilson. Yes, we know he was technically in X-Men Origins. No, that doesn’t count. Deadpool is one of our favorite Marvel superheroes of all time, but he has always been more of cult phenomenon than, say, a Spider-Man or a Captain America.  Completely unbound by the traditional rules of fiction, Deadpool is perhaps best known for the fact that he knows he’s a comic book character. He is second-best-known, of course, for the copious amounts of violence strewn throughout his page. Thankfully, the latter is preserved by the Deadpool movie’s R rating. If you’re intrigued by the Deadpool movie and can’t wait to jump through the fourth wall, then this Deadpool infographic is for you! Be sure to check out the official Deadpool movie costume, too.
