Karate Kid: Legends

Description

Karate Kid: Legends is a 2025 martial arts drama directed by Jonathan Entwistle and produced by Columbia Pictures, the sixth film in the long-running Karate Kid saga and the first to bridge its two separate screen lineages. Writer Rob Lieber constructs the story as a direct continuation of both the original 1984 films and the 2010 remake, uniting the worlds of Mr. Miyagi's karate and Mr. Han's kung fu for the first time on the big screen.

Newcomer Ben Wang stars as Li Fong, a kung fu prodigy who relocates from Beijing to New York City with his mother after a family tragedy and struggles to adjust to a new school and an unfamiliar country. When trouble finds him, his teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) travels from China and joins forces with Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) to prepare Li for a high-stakes karate tournament, blending two martial arts philosophies into one. Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley and Ming-Na Wen round out the cast.

Released on May 30, 2025, the film opened at the top of the North American box office and performed strongly worldwide against a modest budget, confirming the enduring commercial appeal of a franchise revitalized by the hit series Cobra Kai. Reviews were mixed, but critics widely singled out the long-awaited pairing of Chan and Macchio and the easy charisma of Ben Wang, positioning Legends as both a nostalgic reunion and a passing of the torch to a new generation. It streams on Netflix.
