As we wait for a new season of Cobra Kai, fans are hoping for a Hilary Swank return. Find out what the actress had to say.

&#8220;No one asked me&#8221; &#8211; Hilary Swank on Why She Isn&#8217;t a Part of the Karate Kid Sequel

If you have been living under a rock, then Netflix released a sequel to the
iconic The Next Karate Kid. When the news came out that the iconic Karate Kid
franchise was getting a prequel, fans were pumped up to see their favorite
characters. As we watched Kumiko, Chozen, Ali, and of course, Daniel Larusso and
Johnny Lawrence, everyone had one question. Where is Julie Pierce AKA Hilary
Swank? The prequel is no doubt brilliant and is the best thing to happen to
Karate Kid fans. However, the absence of one of the pivotal characters from The
Next Karate Kid (1994) left a deep void.


WHY IS HILARY SWANK NOT A PART OF COBRA KAI?

The Next Karate Kid movie that marked Hilary Swank’s entry into the franchise
did not fare well with the critics. The fourth installment of the franchise
consisted of Julie Pierce becoming Mr. Miyagi’s best new pupil, replacing Daniel
LaRusso. Although the movie isn’t the best in the franchise, Hilary Swank’s
character takes home the cake for being the most wanted for a reprise in Cobra
Kai.

Seeing one iconic character after another from The Karate Kid franchise make an
appearance, fans can’t help but be hopeful for a Hilary Swank return. They are
flooding her mentions, questioning and requesting her to be a part of Cobra Kai.
However, Hilary had a shocking revelation to make on Live with Kelly and Ryan.
“I’m not in Cobra Kai, no one’s asked me to be in Cobra Kai,” said Hilary Swank.
The actress was not even asked whether she would like to be a part of the
series.

Fans are truly disappointed that the creators did not write a part for Hilary
Swank to be in the series. The actress further pointed out the irony of no one
having called her about the one thing that people ask her the most.

Bringing in Hillary would only mean more popularity for the series. Swank gained
international fame after her breathtaking performance in Boys Don’t Cry.
Meanwhile, whether Cobra Kai will be returning for the sixth season is still in
question, so it is hard to predict a Julie Pierce comeback. Check out Cobra Kai

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
