The next installment in the beloved franchise will continue the story of Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso after the events of Cobra Kai‘s final season, teaming him up with new young karate fighter Li Fong, played by American Born Chinese alum Ben Wang, and Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han from the 2010 movie. The sequel hails from I Am Not Okay With This‘ Jonathan Entwistle in his feature directorial debut and Peter Rabbit‘s Rob Lieber.
