The new clip also features one of the artifacts in the Hall of Heroes being Indestructible Chain Hammer of Master Pangolin, who's a new master introduced to the series by fourth movie, while one of the prominent characters appearing in the movie is Han, the leader of the Den of Thieves, who is ''a pangolin''. This can't be a coincidence to have one of the new masters introduced to the series share the species with one of the characters that debut in this movie. And given that Han displays some martial arts in one of the spots where he fights with Chameleon army, it could be likely that he's descendant of the long dead kung fu master, who for some reason turned to crime.

When Zhen parents infiltrated Chameleon palace for some unknown reasons, they accidentally learned about her nefarious plans, which resulted in reptilian sorceress killing them in cold blood, and making Zhen orphan, forcing her to become thief and using her ninja skills to steal things in order to survive.

Given that Tigress is fourth most important hero character in the series, it could be possible that The Chameleon will be somewhat related to her past - maybe she's the one that killed/separated her from her parents, resulting in Tigress ending up in orphanage.

As the trailer shows, Zhen isn’t exactly the most obvious choice to be the Dragon Warrior’s apprentice, with her being a wanted criminal. However, later in the story when [[DarkestHour Po and/or Zhen have been captured/defeated by the Chameleon]] they could find out they have much in common, with a possibility that would be great for the story and give a lot of emotion would be that Po and Zhen were both given up by their parents. However, while Po’s did it out of love to protect him Zhen could’ve been abandoned by her parents which would be a great callback to the 2nd movie.
