Gary Oldman joins cast of 'Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom'
Not going to lie to you. I am a big fan of the first Kung Fu Panda film, both physically [yuk yuk beat you to it] and emotionally so while I haven't been keeping abreast of the situation regarding the sequel The Kaboom of Doom it is about time to jump back on to the Panda parade and share some good news with you. Gary Oldman will join the original cast. 

In the film, Oldman will voice a character called Peacock who helps Jack Black's Po track down some bad guys before turning out to be more than he seems. So, basically, he's the main villain then.

The story sees Po come across a group of bandits while searching for other pandas and trying to confront his long, lost past. Meanwhile, Po and the Furious Five (all to be voiced by their original cast members) also have to stop a mysterious weapon which is so powerful it could destroy kung fu itself. TotalFilm

Jennifer Yuh Nelson is directing the sequel. Her previous work includes Head of Story and and Story Artist on the first Kung Fu Panda film. 

Oh, and apparently Charlie Kauffman is tweaking the story a bit. Yes. THAT Charlie Kauffman.
