If you are a fan of Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossbergs Ralph Macchio & William Zabka starring Cobra Kai  then you were probably excited to hear that SONY had announced a new Karate Kid film. And then things got a little confusing when Hurwitz tweeted that the spinoff sequel series creators were not involved in the project. So we are guessing the original franchises star must have the scoop right? I know no other information  Macchio shared with EW.  Its too early to tell what that story is with the movie. This is all  like happening in real time as you are asking me this question. Though he had heard rumblings of another big screen adventure being in development, no one had approached him about being involved.  I think that  will be figured out in the near future, or I may have nothing to do with it. We'll talk when I know whats going on Macchio added.





As for the Netflix series not yet being renewed for a sixth season Macchio is not worried.  People seem to love the show and it does not seem like its slowing down. I think we will have the opportunity to let the stories evolve. Though with the shows creative trio also working on additional projects Macchio is hoping that any delays between seasons do not take too long. Hopefully its not too long for the fans. None of us guys are getting younger the actor joked.


COBRA KAI takes place over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament with the continuation of the inescapable conflict between Daniel LaRusso Ralph Macchio and Johnny Lawrence William Zabka.
