Quite a few new voice actors have been announced for next summer's Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom, the sequel to the 2008 film Kung Fu Panda, in a new press release. These cast members are Emmy Award nominee Victor Garber (television’s Alias, action star Jean-Claude Van Damme (Double Impact), and BAFTA nominee Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). The former voice cast will also return to the project.
Considering how the first film made over $200 million in the states, “Kaboom,” set for release on June 6, 2011, should be a hit with audiences across the world. In addition, the first film was surprisingly good. It had a fun story, great voice acting, and a shockingly strong story about overcoming obstacles. Hopefully this sequel can recapture the magic of the first film.
