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.
