Trailer for Karate Kid: Legends
Click to viewAfter 6 seasons of the tv series Cobra Kai, the Karate Kid franchise is returning to movie theaters with Karate Kid: Legends on May 30. Ralph Macchio returns as Daniel LaRusso and Jackie Chan reprises his role as Sensei Han from the 2010 Karate Kid film starring Jaden Smith. The student in the latest film is played by Ben Wang, who starred in the recent tv adaptation of American Born Chinese. Ming-Na Wen and Joshua Jackson are also on the cast list in unspecified roles.
After a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) is uprooted from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother. Li struggles to let go of his past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates, and although he doesn't want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere. When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition - but his skills alone aren't enough. Li's kung fu teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.
Ralph Macchio and William Zabka answer fan questions. The final episodes of Cobra Kai will stream on February 13!
