Cobra Kai has been one series fans have been following through and through because of its gripping plot and the nostalgia that seeps within them because of the impact Karate Kid had. Lately, a lot of projects have either been put on pause or delayed heavily because of both the Writers’ Strike and the Actors’ Strike.
The movie had a lot of things that were rising more and more with the fans’ hope. Ever since the first film, the franchise has had a cult following because of how much it was loved by the audience. Naturally, a spin-off series like Cobra Kai was just as loved and the anticipation for the new movie was only beginning to rise. However, the latest update on the franchise may not be what the fans were looking for.
The New Karate Kid Gets Delayed Badly
The initial release date that had been set for the Karate Kid movie was one that the fans had been hopefully looking forward to. June 7th, 2024, the day when all the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai fans were to rendezvous would no longer be the same. Due to the ongoing Writers’ Strike as well as the Actors’ Strike, the upcoming Karate Kid movie has been delayed by half a year.
Fans would have to wait for much longer than they had first hoped for. The film is now set to release on 13th December 2024. Although it is still not sure whether or not the date could change, audiences can continue to hope that these strikes do find a conclusion to them. However, if that is not the case for months that will go by, then there is a great chance that the movie could get further delayed. Due to this, no other information about the movie has been revealed as of yet.
The Karate Kid Franchise Is Not At A Halt Thanks To Cobra Kai
Despite the pause that the new Karate Kid movie has taken, it is not as if the entire franchise has come to a stop. Cobra Kai will be premiering its sixth and final season. The series is set years after the original movies and has been successful to the point where fans were hoping to see the series continue for much longer.
The series has characters that are both old and new, as well as some stories that were immediately loved by the audience. As of now, all the fans can do is wait and hope to get a better and bigger update for the much-awaited movie. Jackie Chan too was rumored to be part of the movie, but that is still yet to be confirmed.
The upcoming Karate Kid movie will premiere in theatres on 13th December 2024.
