The Karate Kid franchise continues with Karate Kid: Legends, uniting Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han onscreen for the first time. Here's when you can catch it in theaters and on streaming.
Karate Kid: Legends aims to bridge different eras of the franchise, bringing together Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) to mentor a new karate kid, Li Fong (Ben Wang). Director Jonathan Entwistle highlights the film's independence from Cobra Kai while still honoring the franchise's legacy.
The film's theatrical debut is set for May 30, 2025. After its theatrical run, it will head to Netflix, likely around September 2025, based on Sony's distribution agreements. Before that, a digital release on platforms like Fandango at Home, Prime Video, and Apple TV is expected around July 2025.
Entwistle also discussed how Jackie Chan's role was expanded, setting the film primarily in New York to capitalize on Chan's character. He wanted the movie to stand on its own, and not feel like a continuation of Cobra Kai, but it's more of a new chapter in the Karate Kid saga.
