Skadoosh! It was brilliant to see Po’s journey to Juniper City unfurl just before our eyes in Kung Fu Panda‘s standard pattern of humorous action. The efficiency of Kung Fu Panda 4 was properly received each commercially and amongst critics. With a cumulative worldwide gross standing at $525 million, Kung Fu Panda 4 has currently surpassed the box workplace feat of its predecessor, Kung Fu Panda 3. This has established the film as the most productive animated film of the year so far. The accomplishment of the sequel has the creators of the animated series currently searching forward to future installments. Kung Fu Panda 4 director Mike Mitchell has declared that he desires potential sequels of the animated series to “keep going bigger.”

There are many routes by which the story of Po can be additional expanded upon to give viewers with Kung Fu Panda 5. Speaking in an interview with ComicBook, Mitchell looked forward to these sequels with hopes of generating it even larger than it is ever been. “I think no matter what, we keep going bigger. Whether I’m working on it or not, I’m in the theater watching these things,” the director stated. The infectious character of Po is brought to life by way of the vocal prowess and charisma of Jack Black, and with him, Mitchell believes there is tremendous area for development with the energy of the Skadoosh.

Speaking on the prospects, Mitchell stated:

“If Jack Black is performing as Poe the Dragon Warrior, I just think that character could last forever. He’s so charming, he’s so action packed. Not to mention this world is so filled with characters. We just took a little break from The Furious Five, which everyone can’t wait to see those guys and what they’re doing and what they’re up to. There’s so much story to tell and it never feels to me like it would be something intimate. It’s always got big action. It’s hard for me to imagine it’s just taking place in one room. I mean, we had so many ideas from this film that we just couldn’t fit in.”

The Special Unit That Is The Furious Five

While Kung Fu Panda 4 was a brilliant accomplishment on many fronts, it did so with no appearances from some of its beloved characters. While Po embarked on his journey to turn into the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of the Peace, the film did not function the Furious Five. Speaking in a separate interview, Mitchell revealed there was a lot he and his group would have loved to add to the film, but merely could not, saying:

“We wanted to put so much into this film, but we knew we couldn’t make a four-hour long Oppenheimer Kung Fu Panda. We all love The Furious Five. They’re such cool characters, and they’re such a part of the franchise, but they have been a big part of the story for part one, two, and three. We thought for this one we might take just a little bit of a break. I mean, we had a bunch of stories with them that just didn’t fit into the film.”

The director added that it was good that the significance of the Furious Five was noted, suggesting a spinoff as the way to go for the characters. Adding:

“It’s okay to take a break as long as we tell everyone at the end, “Man, they are nonetheless a large portion of this globe and they are not going anyplace.” I’m so glad that you recognized that it was important to us to really pull them in and show everyone that we love The Furious Five. I’ve always thought maybe there’s even a spinoff with just the Furious Five.”
