Once in a while in Tinseltown, besides the skills that measure craftsmanship and its endurance, there are legacies that take the standing ovation of persistence. Some legacies stick around so blemish-free that a single mention takes the audience into flashbacks of these artists’ contributions like, say, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator. Another name that pulls fans straight into Jackie Chan's orbit is the Karate Kid saga, and with the latest installment, Karate Kid: Legends, on the horizon, there is a lot more action to look forward to.

For those in the unknown, here is the lowdown on this legendary cast, plot, release date, and, of course, the first glimpse of what Jackie Chan plans to bring this time. 

After all that Cobra Kai action, thanks to Netflix, the Karate Kid club is charging back into action. As per Variety’s recent report, Sony revealed the very first trailer of Karate Kid: Legends movie at New York Comic Con on Friday night. This movie reunites franchise stars, Jackie Chan, and Ralph Macchio, and introduces a new kid on the karate block, Li Fong, played by Ben Wang. The movie has bagged a slate for next year's release on May 30.

Ming-Na Wen will portray Wang’s mother while Joshua Jackson and Sadie Stanley will also appear in the film. Additionally, Jonathan Entwistle will direct the film from a screenplay by Rob Lieber with Karen Rosenfelt producing the flick. In the trailer shown at the Comic Con in New York, Macchio returns as Daniel LaRusso, whom he played in the original 1984 film trilogy and later reprised in Netflix’s Cobra Kai and Chan reprises his role as the kung fu master, Mr. Han.

With three leads now taking the legendary leap of the hour, here is a deep dive into the trailer specifics.

The Karate Kid: Legends trailer dropped at Comic-Con in New York shows the reunited franchise stars Ralph Macchio's Daniel LaRusso touching down in Beijing after getting tracked down by Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han. Turns out, Han has a new student, Li Fong, and is mentoring him just like Mr. Miyagi did for Daniel. As Daniel and Mr. Han take turns narrating the trailer, it becomes clear that these two legends are teaming up to shape the next Karate Kid according to Variety. 

The trailer brings street brawls, dojo showdowns, and a sneak peek at an epic new karate tournament. One standout moment shows Fong taking on a bully in an alley, swinging off a fire escape ladder, and flipping off the wall. Ben Wang, who plays Li Fong, is a real-life martial arts prodigy, who trained in karate, wing chun/kung fu, gumdo, kempo, and taekwondo. Hence, it is safe to say the new karate kid is bringing serious heat and fans might as well keep their eyes peeled for some killer moves.
