Does ‘Karate Kid: Legends' Have A Post-Credits Scene? Why You Should Stay Seated
Karate Kid: Legends is now in theaters. Karate Kid: Legends is now playing in theaters everywhere. As you watch the movie on the big screen, you might be wondering whether there's a mid- or post-credits scene that continues the story or teases a future sequel in the beloved franchise. Set three years after the series finale of Cobra Kai, Karate Kid: Legends reunites iconic martial arts masters for a new adventure, bringing back stars like Jackie Chan as Mr. Han and Ralph Macchio as Daniel Laruso while introducing newcomers like Ben Wang as Li Fong. 'After moving to New York City with his mother, kung fu prodigy Li Fong struggles to let go of the past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates," the official synopsis reads. "When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren't enough. With help from Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso, he soon learns to merge two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.' Legends director Jonathan Entwistle spoke to Inverse about what it was like merging the original Karate Kid movies with Macchio and Chan's 2010 reboot into a cohesive story for the 2025 sequel. 'For me, I was very excited that there was already a menu. There was already a recipe in there for what this could be, the heart, the mentorship, the found family, all of these types of things are in there,' he explained. 'Li Fong as the mentor for Victor, and then Jackie and Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso being the mentor again for Li, and Miyagi being everybody's mentor within all of these pieces.' Karate Kid: Legends is expected to have a $30 million debut at the box office this weekend – if Cobra Kai fans show up in full force – according to Variety. The film currently holds a 55% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 92 reviews so far, with more expected to roll in throughout the weekend. Here's everything to know about the Karate Kid: Legends post-credits scene and whether you should stay in your seat until the very end. Karate Kid: Legends has an extra scene that plays after the title card but before the actual credits, so technically, there's a post-credits scene you'll want to stick around for after the movie ends. Warning: Spoiler ahead for the end-credits scene in Karate Kids: Legends. Cobra Kai. (L to R) William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso in Cobra Kai. ... More Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix © 2024 After the 5 Boroughs tournament, viewers return to the pizza shop with Li Fong, Mr. Han, and the others. They order one pizza to go for Daniel LaRusso, who is staying at Mr. Miyagi's house in California. The uncooked pizza comes with a thank you message from Mr. Han and adds if Daniel ever needs anything, he knows where to find him. In the final scene, there's also a surprise cameo from Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), last seen in Netflix's spinoff Cobra Kai. Johnny and Daniel, who have since moved past their rivalry, share some friendly banter. When Johnny sees the pizza, he jokes that they should open a Mr. Miyagi-themed pizzeria called "Miyagi Dough," while Daniel decides to go actually cook the pizza. Thankfully, the Karate Kid franchise doesn't seem to be over yet – at least not for Daniel. Macchio confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that several Cobra Kai spinoffs are in in the works following the Season 6 finale. 'There are a few balls up in the air. I don't know which one is going to land. I hope all of them do, or some of them do, or one of them does,' Macchio revealed. 'The success of Karate Kid: Legends could propel all that stuff. It's different, but the same. There's a Miyagi-ism for you.' Watch the official trailer for Karate Kid: Legends below.

Did Omega Just Confirm the Identity of the Next James Bond?
Joining Omega's ranks as the brand's newest ambassador, this British actor instantly becomes a frontrunner to succeed Daniel Craig as 007. Omega introduced its newest brand ambassador on May 22, and the actor chosen for the position suggests one massive speculation. Did Omega just leak the identity of the next actor to play James Bond? British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a perfect fit to represent Omega. He is ruggedly handsome, on the verge of becoming an A-List celebrity and looks damn good in a suit. All those attributes, combined with his nationality, also make him an ideal fit for another iconic role—Agent 007. I must say that I'm approaching this theory with skepticism because many actors have been floated as the next Bond since Daniel Craig decided to hang up his PP7 after 2021's No Time to Die, including some household names like Idris Elba and Henry Cavill. However, Taylor-Johnson checks more boxes than any previous candidate, and the timing of Omega's announcement is almost too perfect for a coincidence. Historically, Bond has been portrayed by actors with minimal notoriety going into the role. Sean Connery was a little-known Scottish film actor before establishing the template for Ian Flemming's secret agent on film. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were best known for TV roles prior to serving in Her Majesty's Secret Service. Bond made them all household names. Craig fits the same pattern, having been an obscure indie-film and stage actor before redefining the role for the twenty-first century. Taylor-Johnson broke through as a young man in 2010's Kick-Ass and has maintained that recognizable-but-not-by-name actor status ever since. An upcoming starring role in 28 Years Later may change that. Taylor-Johnson has had his fair share of action roles, starting with Kick-Ass and more recently in The Fall Guy, and he is sure to see plenty of combat in 28 Years Later, which is a strong qualifier for Bond. At the same time, roles in 2024's Nosferatu and 2021's The King's Men demonstrated that he looks good in a suit, which is necessary for any actor hoping to portray Bond. The wheels have already started turning on production for the next Bond film franchise reboot under MGM's new ownership, which means that the titular character must be cast soon… or perhaps already is. Omega has been in the Bond Family since Pierce Brosnan's stint began in 1996's Goldeneye. The Swiss watchmaker is retaining its position in Q Branch for the upcoming era and would surly have inside information if a casting decision has been made. Omega's preferred marketing strategy has been not-so-subtle, clearly orchestrating ' leaks' regarding watch releases, often with the involvement of the former himself and always to great effect. Given all of the elements at play here, Omega's choice of Taylor-Joy as its new ambassador feels a bit too coincidental. At least he wore a Speedmaster First Omega in Space, instead of a Seamaster, to throw everyone off the scent.

Adin Ross Claims He Lost Millions In Brand Deals After Dissing Megan Thee Stallion, Doechii
Controversial streamer Adin Ross is once again at the center of public scrutiny after revealing he recently lost two lucrative brand deals — fallout many are linking to his inflammatory remarks about rap stars Megan Thee Stallion and Doechii. During a livestream with DJ Akademiks on Wednesday (May 14), Ross expressed visible frustration over the lost opportunities, which he suggested were related to both recent controversies and broader public perception of him and fellow content creator DDG. 'I'm so mad. My PR was finally getting better,' Ross vented. 'I had two deals lined up — same with DDG — lost both of them,' he added, referencing DDG's own public issues following allegations of abuse involving singer Halle Bailey. Ross made it clear that, for him, the issue goes beyond financial loss. 'I'm mad as f**k, Ak. It's not even about the money. It's just 'cause I wanted to do it. That's the reality of how the world works,' he said. The timing of the deals' collapse coincides with widespread backlash Ross received after making a series of offensive comments on stream about two prominent women in Hip-Hop. Speaking about Megan Thee Stallion, who was shot by Tory Lanez in a 2020 incident that led to Lanez being sentenced to 10 years in prison, Ross appeared to cast doubt on her account. 'Show the bullet wound, bi**h. They lied on my man's name,' he said during a joint stream with fellow content creators ZIAS! and — remarks that were quickly condemned online. Ross also targeted Doechii, the rising rap star and 2024 GRAMMY Award winner, who has gained recognition for both her music and her unapologetically bold public persona. Referring to her behavior while preparing for the 2025 Met Gala, in which she demanded her team to retrieve 'more f**king umbrellas,' Ross launched a tirade against the artist. 'She's an entitled, unintelligent piece of sh*t,' he said of Doechii, before calling for fans to boycott her work altogether. 'Stop listening to her music.' He then criticized fellow artists who have collaborated with her, singling out Playboi Carti and The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) for clearing her appearance on a recent track. '[Playboi] Carti and Abel, why would you give her a feature on a remix? You shouldn't have cleared it,' Ross stated. While Ross did not name the companies behind the pulled deals, his recent outbursts appear to have seriously impacted his marketability, even as he continues to hold a sizable audience on platforms like Kick and YouTube. Whether the backlash will affect his long-term career remains to be seen, but for now, Ross' remarks have clearly cost him more than just online criticism — they've begun to cost him real money.
