The news was spread that Sony would be moving forward with a new one Karate Kid movie. It’s kind of a remake, as it doesn’t bring back any of the original characters, most of whom are currently involved in the Netflix series. Cobra Kai. This time, however, the story will make a role reversal, in which the child will take the part of the teacher.
Murphy’s Multiverse broke the news that “Sony is looking for a 17-year-old Chinese actor who speaks both Mandarin and English. The character is called Li and is said to be small for his age, but tough, smart and jaunty. He is said to be a skilled fighter and a student in Beijing who discovers his life was eradicated after his mother moved them to Brooklyn, New York. Li is said to be struggling with a past tragedy, which creates a wedge between him and his doctor mom, who has managed to handle the same tragedy in his own way. After Li meets Mia, a student from his high school, and his father, Victor, at a local pizzeria, he will soon discover that his life has changed once again, for the better. Li soon finds herself training Victor in the art of Kung Fu, despite his position as his mother against violence and fighting, and eventually returns to the ring himself.
The film doesn’t have an attached director yet, but Rob Lieber (Pietro Coniglio) is attached to write the script. A start date is also yet to be revealed for the film to be produced.
This sounds like an iteration of Karate Kid would you like to see?
