Here is the first trailer for Karate Kids : Legendsa film which will, unsurprisingly, play the cards of nostalgia and novelty in an attempt to appeal to all audiences.

When Karate and Kung-fu meet

Directed by Jonathan Entwistle (The End of the Fucking World), Karate Kids : Legends therefore follows both the reboot The Karate Kid from 2010 and to the series Cobra Kai. If the plot will center on young Li Fong (Ben Wang), early fans should be delighted.

Indeed, to support this young kung fu prodigy affected by a family tragedy and forced to move to New York, will be present his teacher, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and, as reinforcement, the original “karate kid”: Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio).
