KARATE KID: LEGENDS – New Trailer (2025) Jackie Chan | Sony Pictures

Karate Kid: Legends is avoiding an element that would have ruined the legacy sequel that, ironically, is synonymous with Cobra Kai. The story of Karate Kid: Legends will be told in May 2025 and reunites Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan as two pillars of the franchise. While Karate Kid: Legends' cast will include newcomers to the franchise, including Ben Wang as the titular young fighter, Macchio and Chan are undoubtedly the selling points of the legacy sequel that ties together the arcs of Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han.

Karate Kid: Legends comes as the next step in the franchise after the conclusion of Cobra Kai season 6, a TV spin-off of the original 1984 movie. Interestingly, the connections between Karate Kid: Legends and Cobra Kai are expected to be minimal. While Macchio has been a mainstay of Cobra Kai since its inception, the new film is rumored to take place three years after the TV show. This will allow Karate Kid: Legends to stand on its own in many ways, with none being more important than the film avoiding an element that is closely associated with Cobra Kai.
