Sony has announced that it will be adding a new Karate Kid film to the franchise.
Karate Kid is coming back following the major success of Netflix’s Cobra Kai series, which recently launched its fifth season. This will be the franchise’s first film since the 2010 reboot with Jaden Smith.
In response to the news about the new Karate Kid, Jon Hurwitz, the co-creator of Cobra Kai, shared that he won’t be attached to the project.
“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,” said Horowitz in a tweet.
The new movie is set to debut on June 7, 2024, but no other details regarding the cast, production team or storyline have been announced, Variety reports.
