Cobra Kai's final episodes wrapped up the story of Johnny and Daniel's rivalry-turned-friendship, focusing on their karate students before heading off to college. While fans have long hoped for Hilary Swank's Julie to appear, it ultimately didn't happen. The show's creators felt that bringing in another beloved franchise returnee would have been distracting from the central focus on Johnny and Daniel's relationship in these final episodes.
on Thursday morning. The show wrapped up the story of Johnny and Daniel’s rivalry-turned-friendship and saw their karate studentsbefore heading off to college. There were, of course, a couple of fun cameos at the end of the series, but the one‘s final episodes here, but if you consider “this person who has never been in the show before doesn’t ever show up” a spoiler, then you might not want to keep reading.
As you probably could’ve guessed by now, we’re talking about Oscar-winner Hilary Swank. While she never actually appeared in any of Ralph Macchio’sSpider-Man: No Way Homecharacter who hadn’t appeared in the show, and fans have spent years asking for her to be included in some way. When one of the final season’s storylines focused in on Daniel wrestling with the legacy of Mr. Miyagi, it seemed like Swank’s Julie had an easy way to jump into the world once again.
With that focus on those two guys and their relationship, it honestly would’ve been distracting to shift the attention to another beloved franchise returnee. There were absolutely opportunities earlier in the series — and even earlier in Season 6 — where it would have been awesome for Swank to hop in. But in these last episodes, the spotlight was rightfully on Johnny and Daniel, exactly where it needed to be.
