DreamWorks Animation has released four character posters from their upcoming Kung Fu Panda 2, which offers a look at a few new faces making their first appearance in this sequel. Above, we have Lord Shen (Gary Oldman – and no, I’d never thought of his as a peacock before, either), while below are Soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh), Wolf Boss, and the Gorillas.
Here’s some character info for Lord Shen: Lord Shen is hyper intelligent, supremely lethal, and burns with ambition. Its a combustible combination. Hes intent on wiping out kung fu and taking over China. That puts him on a collision course with Po and The Five.
The aged Soothsayer has been advisor to the Peacocks, rulers of Gongmen City, her entire life. She is wise and gifted with knowledge of the future.
The Wolf Boss and his pack were once guards in Gongmen Citys royal palace. Now he is Lord Shens most loyal servant, military strategist and trusted right paw.
The Gorillas are the muscle in Lord Shens army. If his evil schemes require any heavy lifting, theyll be the ones doing it. Shens personal guard is made up entirely of these powerful (and powerfully large) brutes, who are honor bound to their master.
