The official press release states that Po will face a "supernatural threat" this time around, and GuillermoDelToro has stated that the primary antagonist will be "the most formidable villain yet." What better fit for those two descriptors than a dragon, especially since Po is, himself, the Dragon Warrior? There's a lot of poetic symbolism to be pulled from such a conflict, and even more awesome to be had. Heck, Creator/MadsMikkelsen has even been announced as a cast member, and his gravelly baritone would be a perfect fit for a dragon.

Mr. Panda will show up, overjoyed, pumped up and ready to pick up from where he left off... and Po is awkwardly freaked out by this complete stranger who just showed up on his doorstep, who calls him by the wrong name ("It's the name your mother and I gave you!") and doesn't seem to realize that Po is a [[OlderThanTheyLook nearly thirty-year-old man]] who only has a few vague memories of him at best.

Tai Lung was imprison for twenty years not forty years.


** Tai Lung was in prison for forty years by the time of the first KFP movie, and Shen had been exiled for 30 by the time of the second movie. Tai Lung was presumably a young adult, if not outright a full adult, when he went on his rampage, so let's assume he was at least twenty. He was orphaned at least thirty years or so before Shen was stopped by his parents, and I'm not seeing them letting him go on a thirty-year spree of destruction like that. Plus, unlike Po, we've seen other leopards and snow leopards in various other supplimentary materials (the ''Secrets of the Masters/Furious Five'' videos, the character of Peng in ''Legends of Awesomeness'', and others), which does not imply the sort of ethnic cleansing that the pandas suffered through. And finally, if Tai Lung was in prison for so long, and was such a public figure, why did Shen not take notice of the location of a fairly prominent, extremely competent, and very violent black-and-white Kung Fu warrior, and then slit his throat while he was in Chor-Ghom? TL;DR while it does make sense that he wouldn't single out the pandas, the evidence from Tai Lung's existence, the timeline, and supplimental materials do not support this conclusion.

Added DiffLines:

*** It's also the color of ''envy''. If the villains of the KFP movies are all dark reflections/opposites of Po (Tai Lung as the "dragon warrior", Shen as the "warrior of black and white") it stands to reason that Po's father could easily fit the bill as a panda martial artist, especially with the ongoing themes of filial piety. What's Po going to do when he has Shifu as his kung fu teacher and Mr. Ping as his father, and then meets his actual biological father (and presumably his entire lost culture) who did nothing wrong in losing him and is also a martial artist?

[[WMG: In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'', Mei Mei will eventually realize Po and Tigress' feelings for each other and step aside.]]
It seems obvious that the combination of her overenthusiasm, the fact she is betrothed in all likelihood against Po's wishes and the rather unappealing character designs makes it obvious this is how her role in the film's subplot will end.
