What Karate Kid: Legends' New Poster Reveals About The Movie
Two Worlds Collide
Karate Kid: Legendswill be the intersection between the mainline movies featuring Daniel as the main character, and the 2010 remake where Mr. Han trained Dre Parker (Jaden Smith).The film’s confirmation sets the remake within the same universe as the original, meaning its events are going to happen after those ofCobra Kaiseason 6, where Daniel is a main character. While it appears the movie will be going in its own direction following the events of previous films and the Netflix show, it’s likely to embody the same spirit as what’s come before.
This Karate Kid Remake Detail Opens The Door For A Surprising Mr. Han Twist In The 2025 Sequel
Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han from 2010’s The Karate Kid is confirmed to return in 2025, but his character’s role could be unexpected given his age.
The poster has a similar design to previous posters in the franchise, which have often featured shades of orange and two characters facing opposite one another.The skyline in the background also hints the movie will take place in a city, potentially Los Angeles, where the original movie andCobra Kaitake place. This could meancharacters fromThe Karate Kidfranchisewill show up, including familiar faces in the show like Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). Li will likely be established as the next generation’s lead, perhaps tying into the TV series' Miyagi-do Dojo at some point.
Our Take On The New Karate Kid: Legends Poster
It’s The Perfect Tease For The Franchise’s Next Chapter
The new poster, being reminiscent of previous ones in the franchise, indicates the film will be honoring the tradition of what came before while carving out a new path. The combination of Daniel and Han working together helps tie the entire franchise together, doing so in a satisfying way that teases what the future holds. Although there’s plenty of mystery surrounding what Li’s story will entail, it appears to be a strong continuation of everything that came before.
