The stars of Sony’s Karate Kid: Legends have brought the martial arts franchise’s latest film to CinemaCon.
The project’s elaborate presentation began with a group of onstage dancers, percussionists and individuals holding lanterns. After that, hitting the stage at the Las Vegas event was first Karate Kid star Ralph Macchio, who played the titular hero Daniel LaRusso in Columbia’s 1984 original feature and the Netflix revival series Cobra Kai. Joining him was franchise addition Ben Wang, who plays Li Fong, a martial arts student who counts Daniel and Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han as his mentors.
New footage introduced at CinemaCon included an emotional scene of Mr. Han paying his respects to the late Mr. Miyagi and bonding with Daniel LaRusso. “I want Li to learn Miyagi karate,” Chan says in the sequence. Another clip pacled with action was also shown. Expect it to be leaked online very soon…
