A new saga will unfold when Karate Kid: Legends arrives in theaters on May 30. The new film combines two worlds in the Karate Kid universe as Ralph Macchio‘s Daniel LaRusso and Jackie Chan‘s Mr. Han combine their skills to raise the next Karate Kid, Li Fong (Ben Wang). Macchio has been in this universe for several decades, and in his latest outing, he played Daniel in the sequel series Cobra Kai. “Our film is set after the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai and takes the Karate Kid mythology in a fresh direction with a new set of characters,” Karate Kid: Legends director Jonathan Entwistle said (via People). Cobra Kai was a great experience for Daniel because it taught him how to work with different styles to create something new after he teamed up with his longtime rival, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). This is the biggest connection between Cobra Kai and Karate Kid: Legends.
