Together, these two mismatched warriors set out on an epic adventure to find the magical weapons first and save the world from destruction — and they may even learn a thing or two from each other along the way” Jack Black-starred latest “Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight” will be executive produced by Peter Hastings alongside Shaunt Nigoghossian, while Chris Amick as well as Ben Meckler will be the co-executive producers.
