Another film based on the Karate Kid franchise is coming out

www.popsugar.co.uk, April 25, 2023
The Karate Kid franchise has existed solely through the "Cobra Kai" television series up to now, but with a new film in 2024, it's expected to return to the big screen. The untitled project would be the sixth installment in the series and will be released exactly 40 years after the first "Karate Kid" film premiered in 1984. Ralph Macchio stars in the original film as a young boy named Daniel LaRusso, who learns karate from martial arts master Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) in order to protect himself against a group of bullies, one of whom includes Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). Since the iconic pair's rivalry is also at the root of "Cobra Kai," we're left wondering if the forthcoming film will bring them back once more. Macchio said in September 2022 that he was not attached to the project, but that anything could happen since the film was still in its early stages. "I believe that [will be found] in the near future, or I may have nothing to do with it," Macchio said. "We'll talk when I know what's going on."
