There are licenses that never go out of style. For the ‘Karate Kid’ franchise it is like living a second youth. After turning martial arts upside down during the 1980s, in 2010 he returned with a reboot that marked the return of Jackie Chan alongside Will Smith’s son (in addition to ‘Cobra Kai’ in series format). 14 years later we find ourselves at the doors of the next film, whose premiere is scheduled for December 13.
Although it still does not have a final title, the performers have confirmed that they are already on set to film it. It may be surprising that the start of filming is so close to the premiere, but the team is very clear about what they want to do. Ben Wang, the new protagonist, appears next to the clapperboard that starts the entire cake salad they prepare.
The first details of the new ‘Karate Kid’: Jackie Chan returns
Very little information is known about the new delivery. The film will start with a Chinese teenager, played by Ben Wang, who studies martial arts under the strong gaze of his mentor. That figure will probably be Jackie Chan, who will dress up as Mr. Han again. As you can see, the cast has contrasts between actors already seen in the saga with others who will lead the breath of fresh air.
Other confirmed faces are old Hollywood acquaintances, such as Ming-Na Wen, Joshua Jackson, Ralph Macchio and Sadie Stanley. Jonathan Entwistle appears in the direction, unknown to the general public and whose career is not very extensive on the big screen. His latest works are focused on television, with episodes of series such as ‘For a better tomorrow’ and ‘This shit is better’, among others.
To kill time, the latest installment of the saga is always within reach, a reboot that is available as part of the Netflix catalog. If you prefer, you can watch it for free in the RTVE application.
