Sony Pictures shared two new clips and a new trailer for her next film Katarte Kid: Legends During their presentation at the cinemacon and we were there to testify it!
The film meets Ralph Macchio AND Jackie Chan Combining like Daniel Larusso and Mr. Han as they unite to train a played guy Ben Wang .
Please enjoy our reaction video below!
Wang takes on the role of Li Fong, 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.”
Karate Kid: Legends Premiere in theaters on Friday 30 May 2025.
