We’ve but to step off the mat for the ultimate time with “Cobra Kai” and already we have been given our first glimpse on the upcoming extension of the “Karate Child” universe with “The Karate Child: Legends” trailer. The brand new film set for launch in 2025 will, for the primary time, see each the unique Karate Child, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) team-up with Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han from the 2010 movie. Collectively, they will be waxing on and off some phrases of knowledge to a model new martial arts prodigy Li Fong (newcomer, Ben Wang). However with a brand new child on the karate chopping block, does any of what we have seen up to now trace on the eagerly anticipated finale of “Cobra Kai” and the frayed relationship Danny had along with his knuckle-headed frenemy, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka)?
Whereas it may not come as a shock that the unique Karate Child could be making an look in “Legends,” it does not less than affirm that he makes it out alive out of “Cobra Kai.” Which may have been one thing of a no brainer a yr in the past had it not been for the surprising demise of Kwon in “Cobra Kai” season 6, half 2, suggesting that between now and its finish, anybody is susceptible to being killed off. However maybe what we ought to be specializing in is not who makes it from the beloved present to the upcoming film, when it could possibly be the opposite approach round.
May the season finale of Cobra Kai see an look from Jackie Chan?
What we all know of “The Karate Child: Legends” up to now is that former buddies of Mr. Myagi (Pat Morita), Han and LaRusso are working collectively, however might this union start with the previous paying a go to to the latter on the finish of “Cobra Kai?” Like a Nick Fury of “The Karate Child” universe, there’s an opportunity that Jackie Chan’s character who hasn’t been seen for 14 years will drop in on the LaRusso family to ask him for a favor (even when Macchio himself doubted a cameo would work). Even perhaps the subsequent karate child (no, not Hilary Swank) might ask for suggestions immediately as properly. For followers of “Cobra Kai” who had been reluctant in regards to the subsequent chapter, it could actually present sufficient of a tease to get them excited and easily shift the main focus away from the All Valley people and their love for karate.
Then once more there isn’t any affirmation within the preview simply how issues ended for LaRusso and his class. They may not go away the Sekai Taikai victorious in any case, which might give Danny the nudge to coach yet another karate child with the identical starvation for being one of the best round. For now, we’ll have to attend and see when “Cobra Kai” offers its final kick-in on Netflix on February 13, and “The Karate Child: Legends” seems in theaters on Could 30.
