&#039;The Karate Kid&#039; remake will have Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio joined by their Netflix &#039;Cobra Kai&#039; peers as the franchise reboots.

Netflix’s ‘Cobra Kai’ Will Play A Role In Upcoming Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio’s ‘The Karate Kid’ Remake

The world of entertainment plays host to a ton of developments surrounding its
walls every day. Every story that Hollywood puts out is a world of its own and
develops a dedicated fan following around it. Among the noted few
longest-running franchises, The Karate Kid universe enjoys a celebrated status.
The movies whose biggest selling point is their grip and chokehold on martial
arts are returning with another fresh remake starring Jackie Chan and Ralph
Macchio. However, this time around, the 39-year-old franchise will have one
extra leg to stand upon.

In the decades following the original 1984 flick, The Karate Kid, sequels and
spin-offs followed. Now, one of its acclaimed Netflix offsprings is returning to
the game.


RALPH MACCHIO WILL JUMP SHIPS FROM NETFLIX BACK TO THE MOVIES

The 62-year-old, ageless actor will reprise his role as Daniel LaRusso, a role
he took upon with the first The Karate Kid in 1984. Subsequently, he helmed it
again in the 1986 and 1989 sequels as well as the spin-off, Cobra Kai
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cobra-kai/]. Now, as the actor stands joined by
Jackie Chan for the next-generation remake
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-jackie-chan-to-join-cobra-kai-star-ralph-macchio-for-a-new-karate-kid-film/],
it looks like the Netflix side-show will factor in big time. The creative team
behind Cobra Kai is involved in the filmmaking process to a certain degree, even
if not vehemently.



The upcoming movie as well as Cobra Kai are both properties of Sony Pictures
Television and are canon to The Karate Kid universe. Hence, the upcoming
Jonathan Entwistle directorial will also have inputs from the show’s creators.
Releasing to theaters on December 13, 2024, the movie, written by Rob Lieber,
has taken hints and inputs from the show’s team. A fruitful marriage of the two
should all but ring happy bells for fans eager for the next iteration.

Interestingly, in all likelihood, the upcoming movie will follow the events of
Cobra Kai whose final season is yet to land on Netflix.


COBRA KAI MAY RESUME DEVELOPMENT AFTER SAG-AFTRA GREEN LIGHT

Cobra Kai had an intriguing initial development. The show was originally a part
of YouTube Red before moving over to Netflix after its first two seasons. The
show received subsequent renewals until the declaration that season six would
mark the end of the acclaimed show. However, soon after season five, SAG-AFTRA
and WGA twin strikes rocked Hollywood and its production stalled.



Come November 2023, with the embargo lifted, the final season should pick
filming soon and land sometime in 2024. Meanwhile, the showrunners have teased
that the incoming season will be the “biggest season of Cobra Kai”. Amid such
high expectations and in line with other Netflix productions, resuming filming,
