After we see The Karate Kid Part III star Thomas Ian Griffith return as Terry Silver within the subsequent season of Cobra Kai, the star of The Next Karate Kid could possibly be subsequent. Serving as a continuation of The Karate Kid and its sequels, Cobra Kai stars William Zabka and Ralph Macchio with the 2 reprising their respective roles as Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. In the primary three seasons, we have seen quite a lot of characters from the collection becoming a member of the forged.
In a brand new interview with Jake Hamilton of Jake’s Takes, Macchio addressed the potentiality of sure different characters from the franchise showing in Cobra Kai. Specifically, he was requested about Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, the celebrities of The Karate Kid remake who performed characters much like Daniel and Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi. Because the movie is a remake set in a unique cinematic universe, Macchio explains that such a cameo is not attainable, as they’re solely acknowledging the films which featured the Mr. Miyagi character.
“Here’s the thing. It’s a great question, and there’s a simple answer why that won’t work in the Cobra Kai universe, because the guys, (series creators) Jon, Josh and Hayden, talk about the Miyagiverse. Anyone who knew about Mr. Miyagi and interacted with Mr. Miyagi is canon for our show, for the Cobra Kai show. Where as in, the characters of Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, they were not in that world. It was a remake.”
Unless an upcoming season introduces a multiverse into Cobra Kai, we in all probability will not see the characters from the remake coming in. However, Macchio takes it upon himself to tease the potential arrival of Julie Pierce, performed by Hilary Swank in The Next Karate Kid. While Macchio didn’t seem as Daniel within the fourth Karate Kid film, Pat Morita co-starred with Swank within the film for his closing portrayal as Mr. Miyagi. This means the door is broad open for Julie Pierce to enter the fray.
“To the flip side of that, someone like Julie Pierce, who is Hilary Swank’s role, did know Miyagi. So there’s always a chance for maybe that.”
The Next Karate Kid was written by Mark Lee and directed by Christopher Cain. With Ralph Macchio transferring on from the film collection at this level, the sequel stars Hilary Swank as Julie Pierce, the primary theatrical starring position for the actress. While the movie was closely panned on the time of its release, lots of the critics have been nonetheless form to Swank, and the film has been credited for giving the actress her breakout efficiency.
It’s vital to notice that The Karate Kid Part III wasn’t extraordinarily well-received by followers on the time of its release both, however individuals are nonetheless stoked to see Terry Silver’s return in season 4. With one other season assured to be on the way in which, with the present having recently wrapped season 5, we will solely marvel what’s to return forward. For now, we will take a look at the fourth season of Cobra Kai when it begins streaming on Netflix on Dec. 31.
