Sony Pictures has a new trailer for Katarte Kid: Legends And if you are a fan of this franchise, I think you will love what he has offered! Ralph MacchioDaniel Larusso e Jackie ChanMr. Han is collaborating to help form Han Li Fong’s nephew (Ben Wang) to fight to survive New York City karate bullies.
Larusso and Chan claim to be two branches of the same tree and together they will teach a style of martial arts to Fong mixed with Kung-fu and Miyagi-do Karate. It looks like another fun chapter of the franchise!
Li Fong is a teenager based in Beijing who moved to New York City with his mother (Ming-na Wen). “The adolescent transition towards the Big Apple is, in a word, harsh: it has difficulty adapting to its new school and continues to be dragged into fights that she would like to avoid.
“When a new friend needs his help, he participates in a karate competition – but his abilities alone are not sufficient. The Kung Fu teacher of Li, Mr. Han (Chan), enlisters the original help of Karate Kid Daniel Larusso (Macchio), and learns a new way of fighting, merging their two styles in one for the remott for the definitive martial arts.”
Director Jonathan Entwistle He makes fun of Larusso’s involvement saying: “Without giving too much, I can say that Mr. Han and Mr. Miyagi are the link with Daniel.
“The Han family and the Miyagi family are connected to the old days. And there is a mention of this within the Karate Kid Canon movie for those people who want to go looking for it. “
When we talk about the New York City environment for the film, the director said: “It is the idea of - in a classic Karate Kid Sense: fish out of the water. Ben’s character, there, is making his way to the city and is involved in the middle of something that will force him to get up and fight.
“I was really enthusiastic about how we can make New York feel like a character, not only visually, but how can he interact with the way he feels and what is he doing?
“We put it together by shooting on the spot and we built some pieces of New York [on soundstages]. There are many areas that really involve Manhattan skyline and see small hints in the film’s poster.
“It was important that we seemed to get some joy from the action sequences and fight and train in the city really gives you this.”
As for the action sequence, he said: “We decided to do something that was both cinematographic and full of action. The combat sequences are really exciting. My hope is that when you are sitting in that theater, you are on the edge of your place.”
“I was enthusiastic about the idea that the films and the series can all be part of a family. I had some really detailed conversations with the Cobra Kai team on interesting things that we can do in the film and can make everything heard holistic.”
When he talks about the connection of the films with Cobra Kai, the director said: “And of course, Ralph is really, very close to it after all those years on Cobra Kai, and have been involved in small steps along the road.
“Everything we talked about arrived in the film in a way or anything through Ralph or through the conversations. We are really excited to have added another piece to the general universe.”
Karate Kid: Legends It takes place three years after the events of Cobra Kai And is previewed in theaters on Friday 30 May 2025.
