“Cobra Kai” creator Jon Hurwitz has been bombarded by questions on Twitter as a result of the “Karate Kid” movie news dropped and he lastly responded with a disappointing revelation:
The guys and I’d wish to make Karate Kid and Cobra Kai movies and hope to someday. But this one isn’t from us or centered on the Cobra Kai solid. Don’t know quite a bit about it, nevertheless need it correctly. #KarateKid #CobraKai https://t.co/pd2aYYAF0A

There are rumors (unconfirmed, so take with a grain of salt) that the plot of the model new film comprise a model new Miyagi kind decide that teaches a pizzeria proprietor defend themselves with martial arts, which if confirmed true sounds similar to the furthest attainable issue from a “return of the unique ‘Karate Kid’ franchise.” Sounds like a straight up remake to me and if it goes forward it’ll be the second time “Karate Kid” has been remade. We can’t forget that weird Jaden Smith/Jackie Chan 2010 remake, even after we now have tried truly arduous to.
On the one hand, it’s understandable why making a movie that jumps off from “Cobra Kai” is a hard promote. That’s an entire lot of seasons to require people to watch to be caught up, nevertheless then as soon as extra who’s the viewers for an unlimited show “Karate Kid” reboot/sequel? Surely the an identical viewers that’s been sustaining with “Cobra Kai,” which, season by season, has delivered each little factor the Sony press launch promised.
This full issue smells weird. Until we see some robust casting or creative employees attachments, we’ll keep skeptical of this entire business.
