The “Karate Kid” saga returns to the cinema. Sony announced it by releasing the bomb and closing the doors, then nothing is known beyond a release date already set for June 7, 2024. Furthermore, the aforementioned studio ended up revolutionizing fans by promising that the new film would be the “return of the original saga”something many interpret as a throwback that the 2010 remake starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith would ignore.
This unexpected film comes after the success of “Cobra Kai” on Netflix, a series that continues the story of the 1980s film trilogy, centered on karate champion Daniel LaRusso some 30 years after the original saga. In this television drama, Daniel is a wealthy businessman while his old rival, Johnny Lawrence, now a failed loser, is trying to redeem himself by turning to the Cobra Kai dojo, his new purpose in his life. The fifth season of the series premiered on September 9 and ever since the most commented on was the possible signing of Hilary Swank who reprises the role of Julie Pierce.
The creators of “Cobra Kai” have expressed a wish that the character Swank played in “The New Karate Kid” appears at some point in the series, something that was not achieved in the first five seasons. As for this possibility for a season 6, Swank recently chose to dodge the question, so his return is completely pending..
