It’s fair to say that I’m still not entirely over the ending of Cobra Kai. It was a beautiful series that honored The Karate Kid films and paved a new way forward for characters both old and new. It had arguably one of the best series finales ever, and it’s fair to wonder why anyone would push a new entry in the saga so soon after that. The answer is that Karate Kid Legends aims to connect the past, present, and future together to make another gripping story that we can all root for.
The first trailer focused on the basic premise of the film, but the newest trailer went deeper into the characters, and we finally get some key details about our new protagonist, Li. He and his mother move to New York to try and move forward after a tragic loss caused by martial arts. Li is put in a position, though, to fight through adversity and needs some legendary masters to help him bring together the two branches of Karate and Kung Fu. That’s why LaRusso is back to help make this “new Karate Kid.”
Check out the Karate Kid Legends trailer below and be ready to fight for what matters on May 30th.
Remember what you’re fighting for.
