Ralph Macchio & Jackie Chan’s Karate Kid Movie Means Another Character Return Is Now Way More Likely

Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han and Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso’s confirmed return in the new Karate Kid movie suggests that another familiar character could be a part of the film’s roster. Since most details surrounding Sony’s new Karate Kid movie were intentionally kept under the covers, audiences could not help but speculate that it was going to be a reboot and not a direct extension of the existing Miyagi-verse lore. However, to everyone’s surprise, the movie is not only continuing the story set by Cobra Kai and the original Karate Kid movies but also retconning the 2010 Karate Kid remake.
