What became of Jaden Smith’s character Dre Parker after 2010’s The karate Kid? The movie, which was directed by Harald Zwart, was a reboot of the 1984 movie of the same name, which followed the early years of karate student Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and spawned a franchise that as of 2010 already included four movies and a 1989 animated series.
The reboot starred Jaden Smith as Dre Parker, who moved to Beijing with his widowed mother (Taraji P. Henson) and learned kung fu from maintenance worker Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) in order to defend himself from his school bully.
Legend will feature Jackie Chan reprising his role as Mr. Han opposite Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso.
The movie, which was directed by Jonathan Entwistle from a screenplay by Rob Lieber, is set to premiere on May 30, 2025, and takes place on the East Coast, focusing on a new karate student named Li Fong (American Born Chinese star Ben Wang).
