With its predecessor facing a production delay due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes, the next Karate Kid movie has found its release date pushed back.
Per Deadline, Sony Pictures is officially delaying the next Karate Kid movie’s release date by five months. The sequel, which is set to see Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso cross over with Jackie Chan’s Mr. Miyagi, is being delayed to allow Cobra Kai season 6 to finish its production after it got a late start due to last year’s strikes. The Karate Kid is now set for a May 30, 2025 release date instead of December 13, which will now be taken over by Kraven the Hunter.
