Karate Kid: Legends will us a new adventure that combines the past with the present… and future. The film is perhaps one of the most anticipated releases in 2025, following the end of Cobra Kai. Daniel LaRusso will guide a new prodigy towards greatness and we cannot wait to see it. The trailer for Karate Kid: Legends sets up the film’s premise perfectly, combining nostalgia, heart, hope, and, of course, action.
Jackie Chan is in his 70s and will still beat all of us up. Love that for him. And who can resist Ralph Macchio taking on a wise mentor role?
Here’s a synopsis for Karate Kid: Legends to accompany its trailer:
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.
