Karate Kid’s New Movie Makes Cobra Kai’s Biggest Missing Character Return Worse

It was recently announced that a new The Karate Kid movie would be coming out in 2024 with old stars, Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, at the forefront, however this casting choice only serves to emphasize the absence of another The Karate Kid character that should return, but still hasn’t. The Karate Kid is an iconic martial arts drama franchise that initially began in 1984. The first movie follows Daniel LaRusso, a teenager who moves to Los Angeles with his widowed mother, and finds himself stuck in a rivalry with a school bully, which leads him to learn karate from his apartment building’s handyman, Mr. Miyagi.
