The new trailer for 'Cobra Kai: The Next Generation' reveals a surprising connection between Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han, raising questions about their shared history and the future of the Karate Kid universe.
The new trailer for The Karate Kid spin-off series, Cobra Kai : The Next Generation , brings together original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) with Chan's Mr. Han , who mentored Jaden Smith's Dre in the 2010 remake. Ever since the franchise's revival, fans have been speculating about how the two characters will come together. The new trailer offers a few hints — even as it raises more questions. \\\'You knew Mr. Miyagi?' Daniel asks Mr. Han .
'I did not come here for Sensei Miyagi,' Han responds. 'I came here for you.' Just like a Kung Fu master to deflect! But later in the preview, Han reveals that he knows about Daniel's close relationship with Mr. Miyagi. 'Li is to me what you meant to Sensei Miyagi.' Then comes the kicker (so to speak), with this tagline: 'When families unite, a new legacy begins.' Couple that with Daniel's statement above about branches of a (family?) tree, and we've got a new leading theory to debate, karate fans. Watch the full trailer below. \\\The series follows Li Fong as he moves from China to New York City with his mother (Ming-Na Wen). Like Daniel LaRusso before him, Li has trouble with bullies at school, and ultimately joins a karate competition and turns to his old sensei, Mr. Han, for training. According to Sony's official synopsis, Mr. Han enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown. Okay, fine, you're right. The 'two branches' could refer to kung fu and karate, the two different martial arts styles Li learns from Mr. Han and Daniel — but we're still going with the 'Mr. Han is related to Mr. Miyagi somehow' angle. As director Jonathan Entwistle told , 'I can say that Mr. Han and Mr. Miyagi are the connection to Daniel. The Han family and the Miyagi family are connected all the way back to the old times.
