Po the panda (voiced by Jack Black) has mastered kung fu and earned the title of Dragon Warrior. But in Kung Fu Panda 4, he'll face his toughest journey yet: mastering spiritual enlightenment.

Chosen to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace, Po finds himself swapping fighting for meditation. However, with a new threat on the rise, Po may have to unleash his Dragon Warrior prowess once more. That threat is the shapeshifting sorceress known as the Chameleon (Viola Davis). She has the power to absorb great warriors' kung fu abilities — including that of fearsome Kung Fu Panda villain Tai Lung (Ian McShane).

To take her down and save the Valley of Peace, Po teams up with thief Zhen (Awkwafina), a corsac fox with the unique ability to get under Po's skin. As this odd couple learns to work together, expect eye-popping action scenes and a new journey of self-discovery for Po. After all, it wouldn't be a Kung Fu Panda film without either.

Kung Fu Panda 4 hits theaters March 8.
