Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan to star in new Karate Kid film

Sony has announced that a new Karate Kid film in the making will star Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan in the lead roles. The film will release on December 13, 2024.

Both Ralph and Chan will reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Mr Han. However, the casting is still underway to determine who will play the titular character. It is to be noted that the characters of both these actors exist in a different universe and the new film is expected to make these worlds collide.

The film will be directed by Jonathan Entwistle with Rob Lieber serving as writer of screenplay. Karen Rosenfelt will back the film. Others part of the cast are yet to be confirmed by the makers.
