1757. Lord Shen

• Gary Oldman as Lord Shen, an albino Indian Peafowl

Shen (more commonly known as Lord Shen) is the primary antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 2. He is the son of the royal Peacock family and the heir to the Gongmen City throne.

His parents loved him, people began to find joy in fireworks and when Shen began to become obsessed with them and in the art of making weapons with them. Scared of what could happen with their son, his parents asked the Soothsayer what his future would be if he continued down the path he was on. The soothsayer then told them that she had a vision that his supposed destiny would be destroyed by a warrior of black and white. Hearing this and fearing any problems in his plans, Shen lead his wolf followers to attack and decimate a nearby farming village, populated by giant pandas. When his crime was discovered, Shen was exiled by his father from his home and his throne turned over to Master Thundering Rhino and the Kung Fu Council.
Shen is extremely smart, supremely lethal, and burns with ambition; it is a combustible combination. His past has forged in him the notion that he's been wronged and that the world owes him something. He intends to do everything in his power to take it, which includes inventing a powerful weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen. Shen is intent on using this weapon to wipe out Kung Fu and take over China. That puts him on a collision course with Po and the Five.^[2]
