Ofall theKarate Kidmovies, Swank’s lone installment is the most maligned.

It bombed at the box office and currently has an embarrassing rating of just 7% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite such a stringent deadline,theCobra Kaiwriters don’t seem too concerned with bringing Swank backto the franchise.

Instead, the show opted for the return ofWilliam Christopher Ford’s Dennis De Guzman.

Unfortunately, the recent return of another hugeKarate Kidmakes Swank showing her face far less likely.

Surprisingly, Daniel’s late sensei did make a brief cameo in “Eunjangdo.”

The show has long spaced out the re-introduction of itsKarate Kidlegacy characters.

Interestingly,Macchio is currently the only confirmed actor to be carried over fromCobra Kaiand intoLegends.

Furthermore, it would also explain her ongoing absence from the Netflix show.
