In 2010, DreamWorks Animation's CEO, Jeffrey Katzenberg announced that Kung Fu Panda has 6 chapters to it. In July 2012, Kung Fu Panda 3 was officially confirmed by Bill Damaschke, DWA's chief creative officer.
The film will be made as a co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Oriental DreamWorks, a Shanghai-based studio, founded in 2012 as a partnership between DreamWorks Animation and Chinese companies. One third of the film will be made in China, and the rest in the United States, at DWA.This is the first time that any major American animated feature film has been co-produced with a Chinese firm.The filmmakers are working closely with SAPPRFT to assure the film's release in China. As a film with a co-production status in China, it will allow the production companies to circumvent the country's strict import quota and take a greater share of box-office revenue than imported films.To ensure the film's success in China, in addition to the English version, the Chinese version of the film will be also fully animated, making them the only versions that will have the characters' lips synchronized with their voices.
The original crew from the second film will return, including the director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, producer Melissa Cobb, screenplay writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, withGuillermo del Toro as executive producer.[22] Initially, Nelson was directing the film alone, but by February 2015, Alessandro Carloni had joined her as a co-director. According to the report, Carloni, who was an animation supervisor on the first film and a story artist on the second, joined Nelson following her request to strengthen "the director's bench" to ensure that the film is completed in a timely manner.
On April 9, 2013, DreamWorks Animation announced that Rebel Wilson, Bryan Cranston and Mads Mikkelsen had joined the cast of the film. By April 2015, J.K. Simmons had replaced Mikkelsen, whose character had been rewritten.Five months later, Wilson was replaced by Kate Hudson due to extended production schedule.The studio had to reanimate previously completed scenes to reflect Hudson's interpretation of the character.
The film's antagonist, Kai, will be the first supernatural villain of the Kung Fu Panda series.Described by del Toro as "the most formidable villain yet," the creators wanted him to stand apart from his predecessors. Nelson reasoned: "You can't go brawler because Tai Lung was brawler. You can't go smarter because Shen was smarter. Where can you go? You have to go supernatural, bigger, and even more intimidating
