Who Is Ronny Chieng in Kung Fu Panda 4? Who Does He Voice?
Would you believe that it's been seven years since the last Kung Fu Panda movie was released? It feels like eons since the first three Kung Fu Panda movies came out.
This is probably why the producers decided to bring together a new set of characters and voice actors for Kung Fu Panda 4.
While some of the original voice actors are back to reprise their roles, the movie also introduces a new set of characters we'll see in future iterations of the film.
One of the new voices in Kung Fu Panda 4 is Ronny Chieng, who voices the Fish Captain in the latest film.
Po (voiced by Jack Black) and Zhen (voiced by Awkwafina) head to Juniper City. But to do that, they must find a captain that can help them sail a boat. This leads them to meet Fish Captain, voiced by Ronny Chieng.

Who Is Fish Captain in Kung Fu Panda 4?
When Po and Zhen stumble into a bar and ask the bartender for advice on where they can find a captain, they are told to ask the pelican at the bar.
At first, they thought that the unnamed pelican was the captain of the ship. But as it turns out, Fish Captain is a green arowana that lives in the pelican's beak.
Weirdly enough, Fish Captain is holding a knife. The grumpy fish chugs numerous drinks, causing Po to wonder if he should be driving. This seems to suggest that the ship captain might be drunk.
When they arrive at Juniper City, the captain also says, "Woah, that came out of nowhere."
