Sony Pictures announced the new Karate Kid film slated to open in theatres on June 7, 2024, exploiting the success of Cobra Kai, as per Variety.
The next instalment in the franchise will debut more than ten years after the 2010 Jaden Smith-starring revival.
The new movie will be marketed as “the return to the classic Karate Kid franchise,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The martial arts movie is just being started, thus neither the cast nor the director have been revealed.
The Karate Kid (1984), The Karate Kid Part II (1986), The Karate Kid Part III (1989), The Next Karate Kid (1994), and the rebooted The Karate Kid precede this movie as the sixth instalment in the Karate Kid series (2010).
Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, among other original performers, return in the Netflix sequel series Cobra Kai, which is riding the success of the Karate Kid franchise.
Hwang Dong-hyuk, the Emmy-winning director of the programme, stated that “Season 2 will not feature any well-known Hollywood actor.” That’s not the intended scenario, and if it does, maybe in Season 3; nonetheless, for Season 2, the action takes place in Korea. Given that Leonardo DiCaprio has expressed a strong interest in “Squid Game,” perhaps we can ask him to participate if time and opportunity permit.
The second season of the Korean programme will begin production in 2023 and premiere online in 2024. Hwang indicated that the forthcoming season would see increases in production expenses and that the games that will be played in the season have been confirmed. “We will start shooting Season 2 next year and it’ll be released the following year,” Hwang added.
The first K-drama to top Netflix’s top 10 weekly most-watched TV show charts globally in 94 different countries was Squid Game, which made its Netflix debut and quickly became a worldwide sensation. According to the streaming service, Squid Game received a staggering 1.65 billion hours of viewing in the first 28 days following its debut.
