Plenty of non Asians in Cobra Kai, settle down your racism.

Regardless looking forward to this and interested in how it would connect with Cobra Kai, especially this is apparently going to be released when it ends it's last season.

Who in the world would ever think having Ming-Na in anything would be a negative.

I looooooooooove Ming-Na Wen, but it's like Hollywood only thinks there are three Asian actresses.

Couple of updates, the film is now called "Karate Kid: Legends" and will be featured on Sony's panel at NYCC on October 18th:



Also, Ralph Macchio has said that it will take place AFTER Cobra Kai: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBAPNVTonkA/

So that clears up where in the timeline it's gonna be.

My guess would be three main reasons: monetary inflation, high-profile talent, and location filming.

A trailer was shown at NYCC today: https://variety.com/2024/film/news/k...io-1235941310/

The trailer was shown exclusively to the New York Comic Con crowd and teased some intense karate action with the three leads. Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso arrives in Beijing, where Chan’s Mr. Han has been seeking him out. Han has a new protege, Li Fong, and is his mentor figure, just like Mr. Miyagi was to Daniel, Han explains. He and Daniel narrate the trailer, and it’s clear that the two will have to team up to train Li Fong, but will their teaching styles match up?

The trailer shows off plenty of fight scenes in the streets and at a dojo, including some kind of new karate tournament that was briefly teased. In one particularly impressive moment, Li Fong fights off a bully in an alleyway by swinging off a fire escape ladder and flipping off the wall. As the star of “American Born Chinese,” Wang has some stunt experience, and it certainly shows in the trailer.

After Chan and Macchio announced a worldwide search that saw thousands of young actors across the world, Wang was chosen for the role due to his standout performance and deep connection to the character. Wang is skilled in several forms of martial arts, including karate, wing chun/kung fu, gumdo, kempo and taekwando.

The chances of it being shown publicly attached to Venom The Last Dance are very high.

There's an old Asian saying:

"When last chance to star in major motion picture, and can't make it without you, screw them for all you can".

Depends on what happens in the end of Cobra Kai, if I had to guess though they're probably chilling over in Reseda while Daniel is involved in New York.
