What happens
Karate Kid: Legends is a 2025 American martial arts drama film starring Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio, while introducing Ben Wang as the main lead. It is the sixth film in The Karate Kid franchise, serving as a follow-up to The Karate Kid (2010) and the television series Cobra Kai (2018–2025). Both Chan and Macchio reprise their roles from the franchise—the latter's first involvement in a film since The Karate Kid Part III (1989). The story follows Li (Wang), a kung fu prodigy who, after moving to New York and confronting a local karate champion, receives help from his former master Mr. Han (Chan) and karate sensei Daniel LaRusso (Macchio). It is the first film in the series not to be produced by Jerry Weintraub, who died in 2015. The film was confirmed to be in development in September 2022, with Jonathan Entwistle set to direct and Rob Lieber set to write the screenplay in November 2023. Casting took place from November 2023 to April 2024. Principal photography took place from April to June 2024. Karate Kid: Legends premiered at the Cinépolis Mitikah in Mexico City, Mexico on May 7, 2025, and was released in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing on May 30. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $117 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
