Why Was Angelina Jolie Absent FromKung Fu Panda 4?

However, she did not make a comeback in the recent four-quel.
When asked why Angelina Jolie and Jackie Chan (who voiced Master Monkey) were not returning forKung Fu Panda 4, director Mike Mitchell mentioned that he wanted Po to not be in the Valley of Peace and with the number of characters in the film, there was less space for the Furious Five. He said in an interview withHindustan Times,
“The Furious Five do make an appearance in this part. All five of them: Crane, Viper, Monkey, Mantis, and Tiger. But we decided to really evolve our story. We incorporated a whole bunch of new characters. So we’ve got a penguin. We’ve got a granny boar…The list goes on and on. So the movie is so jam-packed with brand-new characters. We wanted to expand our story and get Po out of the Valley of Peace.”
