KARATE KID: LEGENDS Finds Jackie Chan And Ralph Macchio Joining Forces In The Official Trailer

“Two branches. One tree.”

That’s the tagline being touted for Karate Kid: Legends, the newest chapter in the ongoing Karate Kid franchise which still has one more season of Netflix series Cobra Kai before this film arrives. I’m especially curious as to how Ben Wang will be introduced into this saga after that show ends. I’m thinking cameos? Easter eggs? Maybe a surprise appearance by Hilary Swank? Who knows?

In Karate Kid: Legends, 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.

Jonathan Entwistle directs from a script by Rob Lieber, with Karen Rosenfelt producing, and Jenny Hinkey exec producing alongside franchise steward Macchio. The cast also lists Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, and Ming-Na Wen for the film’s May 30 release from Sony.
