New Karate Kid Movie In Original Franchise Coming to Theaters

The Karate Kid franchise is coming again to theaters. How or with whom, precisely, we don’t precisely know. Sony Pictures simply despatched out a press launch detailing some new additions and adjustments to its launch schedule and proper on the high was the next “ Karate Kid (Columbia Pictures) – June 7, 2024″ followed by the phrase “The return of the original Karate Kid franchise.” That’s almost 40 years to the day that the first film was released.

When io9 followed up with Sony, the company refused to give more information than that. But as massive, massive, Cobra Kai fans, really, you have to assume this film is some kind of continuation/conclusion of that show, right? Is this where Daniel LaRussso (Ralph Macchio) and Julie Pierce (Hilary Swank) finally combine all of their Mr. Miyagi knowledge? Was a movie they only want to get Swank back? We have so many question and, for now, exactly zero answers. But the use of the word “original” makes it fairly clear this will not have anything to do with the Jackie Chan/Jaden Smith remake.

What we do know about Sony’s upcoming schedule however, is that two upcoming Spider-Man Universe movies, Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web, have both been moved. Kraven the Hunter, originally scheduled for release January 13, 2023, will now be October 6, 2023. And Madame Web, originally scheduled on that October 6, 2023 date, will be out February 16, 2024. Additionally an Untitled Sony/Marvel Universe originally scheduled for release June 7, 2024, was moved back to July 12, 2024.

There had been a couple of different adjustments too. You’re going to have to attend longer for Garfield, for instance. But we nonetheless can’t recover from that in some way, The Karate Kid franchise is coming again to the massive display screen.
