New Kung Fu Panda 2 character posters

Those nice folks at Dreamworks have release a batch of new character posters for Kung Fu Panda 2, a sequel to the 2008 hit, which now sees Po(Jack Black) as a martial arts master defending China against the evil Lord Shen(Gary Oldman).  Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, James Hong, Michelle Yeoh, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Victor Garber are also lending their voices to the film, which is due out in theaters on May 26th. Check out the four new posters below, courtesy of the Kung Fu Panda Facebook page!

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 City’s royal palace. Now he is Lord Shen’s most loyal servant, military strategist and trusted right paw.

The Gorillas are the muscle in Lord Shen’s army. If his evil schemes require any heavy lifting, they’ll be the ones doing it. Shen’s personal guard is made up entirely of these powerful (and powerfully large) brutes, who are honor bound to their master.

Lord Shen is hyper intelligent, supremely lethal, and burns with ambition. It’s a combustible combination. He’s intent on wiping out kung fu and taking over China. That puts him on a collision course with Po and The Five.
