Netflix might have become the de-facto destination of choice for fans of the originalKarate Kid, thanks to the huge success of itsCobra Kaispinoff series, but it’s about to have some major competition.
Despite the fact thatCobra Kaiisn’t actually finished yet, with its final season split into three parts, there’s going to be a newKarate Kidmovie next year, and it won’t be on Netflix when it releases. Columbia Pictures is makingKarate Kid: Legendsand it’ll get a full cinema release in early 2025.
To be more precise, it’s coming out on 30 May 2025 (in the US, at least), and it looks like it’s going to be an interesting blend. In particular, it’s going to star both the original movie’s Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Jackie Chan as Mr. Han from the Jaden Smith reboot in 2010.
They’re presumably the legends that the movie’s title mentions, but what’s most curious is that Macchio has also been playing LaRusso inCobra Kaion Netflix - leaving fans wondering whether the movie will pick up from the end of that series, or if it’ll basically be disconnected from that continuity.
Cobra Kai’s end date isn’t even set - the second part of its final season arrives on Netflix on 15 November, but we don’t yet know when the third section will become available. This makes for a more complicated timeline than you’d usually encounter for this sort of new movie.
