Luckily,Karate Kid: Legendswill finally address the change by bringing the films together.
The trailer shows Mr. Han seeking out Daniel LaRusso to help him with his student, Li.
This fixes the first issue of the remake not connecting to the previous four films.
Additionally, the voiceover mentions both karate and kung fu.
It isnt clear from the trailer how they plan to connect the two.
Luckily, the synopsis provides a clearer picture.
Im excited forKarate Kid: Legendsbecause it fixes the second issue with the remake.
As the synopsis promises, hell eventually blend them together.
It would be a great way to merge the worlds visually.
