An all-star cast of voice actors helped propel 2008's Kung Fu Panda to critical and commercial success. Adding more star power is the next logical step and The Hollywood Reporter scoops that Gary Oldman is the first newbie to sign on for the sequel.
Jennifer Yuh Nelson is directing Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom, slated for a summer 2011 release.
The story centres on Po's (Jack Black) search for other pandas and his run-in with a group of bandits.
Oldman voices a character named Peacock who helps Po find the bandits but is more than he seems.
The actor most recently lended his voice to the animated alien comedy Planet 51 and Disney’s retelling of A Christmas Carol, both of which were released last fall.
