How much Shifu does this have? (no spoilers, please)

As excited as I am to hear about this movie coming out, I'm disappointed about not seeing Shifu in the trailers.

By far the best part of the original was the chemistry between Shifu and Po, probably because Hoffman is the most talented actor in the cast (though Black has certainly found his niche in Po, too).

Though I really enjoyed the sequel, I was quite disappointed by the fact that Hoffman's role in it had been minimized, seemingly to make more room for Black to interact with first-among-the-A-listers-and-therefore-biggest-draw-card, Angelina Jolie.

Knowing that there was a 3rd movie in the works gave me hope that we would get to see Hoffman's Shifu return to a more prominent role, but now I'm doubting this will come to pass.

He's there plenty! Well, at least as much as the other five... If anything there's maybe a little less of them, because the story is taken off in a slightly different direction; but narrative wise it works

There is a lot of Shifu in here.

There's a bit more of Shifu scenes in this one, compare to the last one which makes me very pleased too since I love seeing more of Shifu around in the KFP movies.
