Cobra Kai Co-Creator Reacts to New Karate Kid Movie Announcement
Yesterday, Sony announced that a new Karate Kid movie is coming in 2024, calling it “the arrival of the original Karate Kid franchise.” This left some fans confused considering Netflix’s Cobra Kai is at present flourishing with many of the original cast members, including Ralph Macchio (Daniel LaRusso) and William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence). The series just appeared its fifth season, and Macchio as of late teased the possibility of a “Karate Kid Cinematic Universe.” Notwithstanding, the show’s co-creator, Jon Hurwitz, just confirmed that the new movie doesn’t have anything to do with Cobra Kai.
“Have you heard anything about a new movie for karate kid??? Is it real?” one fan asked on Twitter. “The guys and I couldn’t want anything more than to make Karate Kid and Cobra Kai movies and desire to someday. Yet, this one isn’t from us or focused on the Cobra Kai cast. Have close to zero insight into it, yet wish it well,” Hurwitz answered. You can look at the post, which includes a great deal of heated fans in the comments saying Sony’s announcement was “disrespectful,” beneath:

The guys and I would love to make Karate Kid and Cobra Kai movies and hope to someday. But this one isn’t from us or focused on the Cobra Kai cast. Don’t know much about it, but wish it well. #KarateKid #CobraKai https://t.co/pd2aYYAF0A

“What’s been created, there’s sort of this Karate Kid Cinematic Universe now where Cobra Kai is, you know, at the focal point of that and when that day does come in for a landing, there are different areas to draw from,” Macchio as of late told ComicBook.com. “I mean, whether it’s … Is there a Miyagi history? Is there a Cobra Kai prequel before The Karate Kid? Is there spin-offs with some of the youthful cast of these characters? Who can say for sure? Yet, we’re not finished as lengthy as we’re offered the chance to really get it. As lengthy as it evolves organically, these guys that compose the show really have their finger on the pulse of that.”

Macchio added, “There’s stuff that they wrote in Season 3 that didn’t happen until Season 4 ’cause there wasn’t any more space in Season 3. There’s stuff that was in Season 5 that we realize we shot that is being held for the future assuming we receive that approval, so there’s something else to come, we trust.”
