The upcoming Karate Kid: Legends film will directly connect with the popular Cobra Kai series, merging the two branches of the Karate Kid universe into one shared timeline.
Karate Kid: Legends starts a new chapter in The Karate Kid movie saga, but how is the next Karate Kid film connected to Cobra Kai? Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber, Karate Kid: Legends introduces a new young martial arts student, Li Fong (Ben Wang). Li is tutored by Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who returns as the sensei from 2010's The Karate Kid. Karate Kid: Legends' big draw is the return of Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), who joins Mr. Han in training Li.
Karate Kid: Legends is the sixth Karate Kid movie and the first new film since Cobra Kai became a global sensation on Netflix. About to wrap up its sixth and final season in February 2025, Cobra Kai significantly expanded The Karate Kid universe, drawing inspiration from the 1980s movies starring Ralph Macchio's Daniel-san and Noriyuki'Pat' Morita's Mr. Miyagi while introducing a whole new cast of young Cobra Kai and Karate Kid heroes. Karate Kid: Legends will directly connect with Cobra Kai, merging the offshoot Karate Kid films led by Jackie Chan with the greater 'Miyagiverse.' Karate Kid: Legends will directly connect with Cobra Kai by teaming up Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han. In effect, Karate Kid: Legends will combine the entire Karate Kid franchise, which comprises the first four Karate Kid movies that centered on Mr. Miyagi, 2010's The Karate Kid movie starring Jackie Chan, and the six seasons of Cobra Kai into one shared universe. The connections even go deeper as Karate Kid: Legends will link the history of Mr. Han's kung fu with the established legacy of Mr. Miyagi's Miyagi-Do karate, and confirm that Mr. Han and Mr. Miyagi once knew each other
