The first Panda was unexpectedly great, and temporarily at least, loosened the chokehold that Pixar had on the animation department. Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogan, Lucy Liu, David Cross and Jackie Chan combined forces on the hysterical martial arts tale.
For the sequel, Gary Oldman, Michelle Yeoh, Victor Garber, Dennis Haysbert, and the one and only Jean-Claude Van Damme (and if you haven't yet seen Van Damme's brilliant JCVD, run out and get it now. It is seriously one of the best films of 2008.) are joining the fray, which will find Po the panda (Black) protecting the Valley of Peace from a new threat: the regal terrifying peacock warlord Lord Shen (Oldman).
If you're curious about what an evil, plumed avian dictator looks like, Dreamworks has released a set of four banners, highlighting some of the new characters.
See the rest after the break.
