While all eyes have actually been on Cobra Kai for the last couple of years, it looks like we may be getting another blast from the past with a brand-new Karate Kid film. With Season 5 of Cobra Kai just recently striking Netlfix, and with the statement of the film, Ralph Macchio, the initial Karate Kid, has actually discussed what he understands about it.
The popular Netflix series has actually currently revived great deals of primary characters from the initial series, consisting of the Karate Kid himself Daniel LaRusso, played by Macchio, and his enemy from the very first film Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka. Following the show’s success, this new Karate Kid movie was announced, however Macchio does not understand much about it, as he discussed to EW:
I understand no other details. It’s prematurely to inform what that story is [with the movie]. This is all, like, taking place in genuine time as you’re asking me this concern.
The brand-new film is set to have a theatrical release in the summer season of 2024, however Sony has actually not revealed a director or cast. Also, the creator of Cobra Kai, Jon Hurwitz, clarified that there is no connection in between the brand-new film and the Netflix program. Hurwitz stated while he would enjoy to make a Karate Kid film, he understand absolutely nothing about the just recently revealed movie.
When the film was revealed, the studio discussed that it would take the story back to the “initial Karate Kid franchise,” which is a bit complicated due to the fact that the initial Karate Kid understands absolutely nothing about it. Macchio stated:
I believe that [will be figured out] in the future, or I might have absolutely nothing to do with it. We’ll talk when I understand what’s going on.
Though Ralph Macchio does not understand about this brand-new film, he has actually revealed interest in spin-off projects within the Miyagi-verse. He talked about concepts like origin stories for Mr. Miyagi and Cobra Kai along with spin-offs for the more youthful characters. It looks like if the chance shows up, Macchio would be down to belong to the brand-new Karate Kid film.
What puzzles me about this movie is I’m uncertain what else there is to cover in the initial Karate Kid franchise. In Cobra Kai, we’ve seen the return of lots and great deals of characters from the initial films. We got John Kreese back in Season 2, and after that this last season we saw the return of a major Karate Kid character as Terry Silver, Daniel’s big foe from Karate Kid III, came back.
I’m very curious to see if this film ties into the Cobra Kai story and characters, or if we will get something completely brand-new. With the film a little less than 2 years away, I’m sure more details about those included with the Karate Kid’s return will be revealed quickly. In the meantime, you can view Seasons 1 through 5 of Cobra Kai with a Netflix subscription.
