KARATE KID: LEGENDS Trailer Is All About Honor, Legacy, and Action

Based on the Nerdist article about the Karate Kid: Legends trailer:

The first trailer for the new, currently untitled Karate Kid movie has been released, showcasing the major crossover event uniting Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Jackie Chan as Mr. Han. This marks the first time these characters, representing the original film series and the 2010 remake respectively, will appear together on screen.

The trailer introduces the new protagonist, Li Fong, played by Ben Wang. Li Fong is depicted as a skilled young martial artist from China who struggles with discipline and finds himself relocating to the East Coast. There, he encounters both Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Han.

The footage suggests that Li Fong will be mentored by both masters, potentially learning to blend the philosophies of Miyagi-Do karate and Mr. Han's kung fu style to find balance and direction. The trailer highlights action sequences and the central theme of mentorship bridging the different corners of the Karate Kid universe (or "Miyagi-verse").

Directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber, the film aims to connect the franchise's different legacies. It is scheduled for release on December 13, 2024. The article emphasizes the excitement around seeing these two iconic figures finally share the screen and guide a new generation's Karate Kid.
