The first threeKarate Kidmoviesfocused on the relationship between Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi and Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso.
However, their relationship was not further explored in otherKarate Kidfilms.
The onlyKarate Kidmovie sinceThe Next Karate Kidwas the 2010 reboot starring Jackie Chan.
However, that will change with theupcomingKarate Kid: Legends, which will star both Macchio and Chan.
The trailer forKarate Kid: Legendsteases that Daniel and Mr. Han both knew Mr. Miyagi.
Therefore,Karate Kid: Legendspresents the perfect opportunity to also feature Swank’s Julie.

Because of this, it would be disappointing if Swank didn’t appear inKarate Kid: Legends.
While this would be exciting, it has never happened.
Additionally, a movie cameo is likely much more appealing to Swank than a television cameo.
Karate Kid: Legends is a sequel to Cobra Kai and The Karate Kid directed by Jonathan Entwistle. The film sees Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan reprising their roles, continuing the legacy of martial arts mentorship and rivalry in a new era of challenges and apprentices.
Despite the reviews,The Next Karate Kidis still special because it was Morita’s lastKarate Kidmovie.
