The crane kick meets the snake style. For decades, fans debated if the 2010 reboot and the original 1984 classic existed in the same world. Karate Kid: Legends is here to prove they do, and the stakes have never been higher for the next generation of fighters.

Everything We Know So Far

The story shifts to the East Coast, following Li Fong (played by Ben Wang), a young martial arts prodigy from China who finds himself a fish out of water in New York.

Following a family tragedy, he is mentored by the legendary Mr. Han. But when the local karate scene gets too dangerous, Han realizes he needs help from the one man who knows the soul of American karate: Daniel LaRusso.

What Could Happen Next

With the movie set three years after the events of the Cobra Kai finale, we are left with massive questions. How does Daniel-san react to a style so different from Mr. Miyagi’s?

More importantly, the trailer hints at “illicit street battles” that go far beyond the controlled environment of the All-Valley Tournament. We might see a darker, more raw side of the martial arts world than ever before.
