What Jack Black movies are now streaming on Peacock?
All three of the Kung Fu Panda movies have been added to Peacock and are now available to watch for subscribers of the streaming service.
The first Kung Fu Panda movie was released in 2008. Directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne, the animated martial arts comedy movie sees Black voice Po, while the voice cast further includes Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu, Ian McShane as Tai Lung, Angelina Jolie as Master Tigress, Seth Rogen as Master Mantis, Lucy Liu as Master Viper, David Cross as Master Crane, and Jackie Chan as Master Monkey.
Kung Fu Panda was a massive hit at the box office, as it brought in approximately $632 million worldwide. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards; however, it ultimately lost to WALL-E.
The first sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2, was released in 2011, followed by Kung Fu Panda 3 in 2016. In 2024, a fourth movie was released, while there have also been several television series — Legends of Awesomeness, The Paws of Destiny, and The Dragon Knight — that are part of the franchise.
A fifth Kung Fu Panda has not been announced at this time, though Kung Fu Panda 4 director Mike Mitchell said it could happen, given that the newest movie still brought in approximately $547.7 million.
