CobraKai creator Jon Hurwitz confirms the new KarateKid movie announced will not connect to the Netflix series. 'The guys and I would love to make Karate Kid and Cobra Kai movies and hope to someday.'
The creator of Cobra Kai has confirmed the newly announced Karate Kid movie will not be connected to the Netflix series. The Karate Kid opened in theaters in 1984 and became an instant classic spawning two direct sequels with The Karate Kid Part II in 1986 and The Karate Kid Part III in 1989. Columbia Pictures, the distributors behind the franchise tried to keep the brand alive with the spin-off film The Next Karate Kid in 1994 and a reboot in 2010 that stared Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In 2018 the franchise continued with the series Cobra Kai on YouTube Red. The series saw the return of popular fan-favorite actors like William Zabka, Ralph Macchio, and Martin Kove reprising their iconic characters from the original trilogy while also introducing a new cast of young characters.
The decision to continue the Karate Kid series but not make it connected to the popular television series that already continued the franchise is a head-scratcher. When the film was announced by Sony, they noted it "would return to the original Karate Kid franchise". It is currently unclear if the upcoming film now will follow Daniel LaRusso and Mr.
Sony appears to be approaching the Karate Kid franchise similarly to both Spider-Man and Ghostbusters. Sony has the Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man film series, the animated Spider-Verse films, and the interconnected universe of films that includes Venom, Morbius, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter named Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
