It is being reported that Kate Hudson is replacing Rebel Wilson to voice one of the new characters in "Kung Fu Panda 3."

Jack Black, Angelina Jolie are among those reprising their roles in the hit franchise telling the tales of Po, the noddle-peddling panda who is also a fabled Dragon Warrior.

The new storyline sees Po reunited with this long-lost father and he discovers a long-lost panda paradise.

The Kung Fu panda's newfound happiness is threatened with the emergence of a supernatural villain, and Po has to go from student to teacher as he must train a village of bears to master the martial arts.

Hudson will voice Mei Mei, a crazy ribbon-dancing panda, also the movie series' first female panda lead, who is romantically obsessed with Po.

Since she's replacing for Wilson, the previously completed scenes will be re-animated to reflect Hudson's take on the character.

This is the first animated voice work for Hudson, who is currently shooting "Mother's Day" for Garry Marshall.
