Karate Kid Legends Trailer Mr. Han and LaRusso Teach a New Hero Miyagi’s Legacy.
As Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) pass on Miyagi’s legacy to a new hero, the first trailer for Karate Kid Legends has been made public. With their mentorship roles from earlier films, Chan and Macchio will return to the series in the future film, which is scheduled for release in May 2025. Ben Wang contributes his skills as the title character in Karate Kid Legends, playing Li Fong, a pupil who starts training under the two.
The first trailer for Karate Kid Legends, which teases Daniel and Mr. Han’s collaboration to train Li, was just published by Sony Pictures Entertainment. In order to establish Li as a gifted student, the trailer opens with Han instructing pupils in China. But for unspecified reasons, Han asks Daniel to assist him in training his newest pupil, and the two of them go to New York, where he resides, to carry on their job. Given that both teachers have ties to Mr. Miyagi from their pasts, the trailer’s solemn tone emphasizes legacy.
Another main focus is on Li, who is halted in the subway by a group of individuals who are pursuing him. He explains that learning karate is a defense strategy for him by using his reflexes to knock down a person who was pursuing him in an alleyway. There are also group fights between Daniel and Han, and a rooftop karate competition foreshadows the film’s possible conclusion. “Two branches, one tree,” Daniel says as he hands Li a headband featuring a tree at the end of the teaser, implying the themes of the film.

What the Trailer for Karate Kid: Legends Indicates About the Upcoming Film
The main focus of Karate Kid: Legends is on two masters working together to develop a single student to become a master of martial arts. This also depicts the merging of two aspects of the series, as the 2010 film adaptation of the original film becomes part of the franchise’s overall narrative. Daniel’s position as a master at Miyagi-Do may be the reason Mr. Han locates and enlists him, suggesting a potential tie to Cobra Kai season 6.
A lot of action is also promised in the movie, which revolves around Li, who appears to be learning karate in order to improve his self-defense on New York’s streets. A martial arts tournament will be included, demonstrating how he would employ his athletic abilities outside of his daily life, even if using them to defend himself will probably be crucial. Given that he has chosen to train him personally, Mr. Han’s decision to visit Daniel because of his prior Karate Kid movie experiences indicates that he recognizes something in his pupil that he has never seen in anybody else.
The New Trailer for Karate Kid: Legends: Our View
The theme of legacy is brought up often throughout the trailer, particularly now that Daniel will be a prodigy’s master, much like Miyagi was to him. This indicates that Karate Kid: Legends will honor the past and the ways in which the franchise has developed to this new film, in addition to focusing on the future as he and Mr. Han train Li. The plot makes sense because the show has evolved into a vehicle for teaching the next generation, providing a solid foundation for the series’ future.
