'Karate Kid: Legends' poster reveals return of Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan

The first poster for the highly anticipated film Karate Kid: Legends has been released, showcasing Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan reprising their iconic roles from previous films. The upcoming movie, set to release on May 30, 2025, will feature Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Chan as Mr. Han, with a new character, Li Fong, played by Ben Wang. The poster reveals Li Fong in a fighting stance alongside Macchio and Chan, signaling the continuation of the franchise’s martial arts legacy. The tagline, "Legends are forever," emphasizes the importance of passing down the tradition of karate.

Karate Kid: Legends was announced in September 2022, with the movie confirmed to connect the original Karate Kid films and the 2010 remake starring Jaden Smith. According to the poster, the new film will take place after the events of Cobra Kai season six, blending elements from both the classic and rebooted franchises. While the story remains largely under wraps, fans can expect the movie to stay true to the spirit of the previous installments.

The poster's design, reminiscent of earlier films in the franchise, hints at a return to the city backdrop, likely Los Angeles, where much of the Karate Kid saga takes place. The film will likely explore the relationship between the new character Li Fong and his mentors, Daniel and Mr. Han, as the franchise continues to evolve.
