Karate Kid 4 Movie Just Broke Canon In 2 Major Ways

It was recently announced that a new Karate Kid movie is coming out in 2024 with Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan reprising their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han, which means that this latest film, and one of its actors, will be bridging the gap between the original movies and their reboot. The Karate Kid franchise first began in 1984, and after gaining unexpected popularity, spawned three sequel films, one reboot film, and two television series. The Karate Kid tells the story of a young boy who moves to Los Angeles, and in the face of various school bullies, is taught karate by the handyman at his apartment building.
