Renowned cult classics have undoubtedly provided us with several mentor-like figures, but among all, Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid remains the most beloved one. But what if we say that the actor was initially turned down for the role of karate guru by the film’s producer Jerry Weintraub?
Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid
While Pat Morita being unwanted sounds totally shocking, here’s another bizarre titbit from Ralph Macchio’s The Karate Kid. According to director John G. Avildsen, Columbia Pictures initially demanded the drunken Mr. Miyagi scene to be excluded from the final cut of the film before it hit the theatres.
Producer Jerry Weintraub Wasn’t Keen to Cast Pat Morita

Top 5 rivalries among characters in Cobra Kai. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Cobra Kai hit the screens in 2018, kicking off its initial seasons on YouTube Red in May 2018 and April 2019. With YouTube halting scripted original content production, Netflix took the reins, acquiring the series in June 2020.
Cobra Kai spins a gripping yarn of trust, resilience, and fierce rivalries among dojo members. Ralph Macchio and William Zabka step into the spotlight, reprising their iconic characters as Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence, first introduced in the 1984 film The Karate Kid and its sequels, The Karate Kid Part II (1986) and The Karate Kid Part III (1989).
The spin-off series is set thirty-four years after his defeat by Daniel Larusso in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament, with Johnny Lawrence, now in his 50s, grappling with alcoholism and depression. Working part-time as a handyman, he resides in a Reseda apartment, far removed from his affluent upbringing in Encino. His son,...

The Karate Kid is already a timeless classic, but Cobra Kai gave the property a surprisingly well-executed extension of Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence’s world.

When Cobra Kai returns to Netflix for its sixth and final season, the Karate Kid spinoff plans to expand the Miyagiverse significantly. The teen-focused drama Crane kicked martial arts action fans in the face in 2018, building on the Karate Kid legacy started by Ralph Macchio (Daniel Larusso), William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence), and Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi). With every season, Cobra Kai has grown through fan-service casting, interpersonal drama, and hard-hitting action. No one could have predicted the Miyagiverse would expand the way it has because of Cobra Kai, and now the show’s co-creator, Jon Hurwitz, says fans can expect Season 6 to explore the franchise in exciting ways like never before!
In a thread on Twitter/X, Hurwitz assured fans the final season of the series delivers big surprises, in-depth character flashbacks, and plot elements that expand the Miyagiverse.
“Season 6 expands the ‘Karate Kid/Cobra Kai’ universe more than the first 5 seasons combined.

Sony‘s untitled Karate Kid film is ready to make Ben Wang‘s heart go pitter-pat after adding Cruel Summer actress Sadie Stanley to the cast. Stanley plays the romantic lead opposite Ben Wang (American Born Chinese) in the forthcoming marital arts drama, which also stars Joshua Jackson, Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio.
Plot specifics remain a mystery, though we hear Sony will move the story to the East Coast and focus on a teen from China who finds identity and strength in martial arts. During his journey of self-discovery, Wang’s character meets a disciplined martial arts master. With Chan and Macchio both appearing in the film, there’s a chance Wang’s character could train under two teachers. Jonathan Entwistle

The number of actors the Netflix TV series Cobra Kai has brought back to reprise their characters from the Karate Kid films has been very impressive. Not only do you have Ralph Macchio and William Zabka back as Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence, but there’s also Martin Kove and Thomas Ian Griffith as villains John Kreese and Terry Silver, Yuji Okumoto and Sean Kanan as villains-turned-allies Chozen Toguchi and Mike Barnes; Ron Thomas, Rob Garrison, and Tony O’Dell as Johnny’s former Cobra Kai buddies; and appearances by Elisabeth Shue as Ali Mills, Tamlyn Tomita as Kumiko, and Robyn Lively as Jessica Andrews. They even brought Traci Toguchi back as Yuna, the “Girl Bell Ringer” she played in The Karate Kid Part II. But one actor who might not be returning from the films is Hilary Swank, who played Julie Pierce in the 1994 film The Next Karate Kid.

Rumor has it that Netflix was originally planning to release the sixth and final season of their hit series Cobra Kai, a continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, this month. The cast and crew were heading into production back in May (Netflix even released some table read footage) – but then the writers strike hit, causing filming to shut down. Then came the actors strike, which made sure it stayed shut down a while longer. But both of those strikes are now over, and cast member Courtney Henggeler has revealed that Cobra Kai season 6 is finally going to start filming / resume production next month!
The folks at Screen Rant took the opportunity to ask Henggeler about Cobra Kai when they crossed paths with her at a red carpet event. When they asked for info on what fans can expect from the new season, Henggeler answered, “I wish I knew. I...

Much like Daniel Larusso went from underdog to All-Valley karate champion, "Cobra Kai" has gone from a legasequel no one asked for or had too much faith in, to one of Netflix's biggest hits. The TV sequel to "Karate Kid" became a shining beacon amidst the fast-decaying YouTube Red streaming platform, offering a thrilling, compelling, and endlessly watchable story with complex characters and a fascinating story of legacy, rivalry, and generational patterns. All of this wrapped in a juicy karate-themed soap opera where everything and everyone revolved around the martial art.
When the show made the jump to Netflix, it became the closest thing to a live-action anime that we've got. Somehow, just like the "John Wick" movies revealed that the entire planet revolves around hitmen, "Cobra Kai" does the same with karate.

Ted Sarandos has welcomed a resolution to the actors strike to allow his streamer, and Hollywood, to get back to work.
“We’re mostly just thrilled the strike is behind us, and getting back to what we do best and what our writers and actors do best and all of our below the line folks, which is make great stories for the world,” the Netflix co-ceo told the Ubs Global Media and Communication Conference during a session that was webcast on Monday.
Sarandos reiterated Netflix would spend around $17 billion on programming content in 2024 post-Hollywood strikes, as long as that content spend matched the company’s expansion. “You just have to stay closely aligned to that growth. We think that $17 billion level aligns with our growth. If we surpass that and if we accelerate on that, we’ll revisit that as well,” he argued.

Recently, I was lucky enough to interview Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald about their brand-new Netflix show, Obliterated. The series, which follows a very inebriated Navy Seal team trying to take down a terrorist cell in Vegas, is a hilarious mix of intense action and comedy headed by a terrific cast that includes Nick Zano and Shelley Hennig. Yet, of everyone, the show is all but stolen by eighties legend C. Thomas Howell, who shows up as the group’s somewhat insane bomb expert.
In the show, his character, Haggerty, seems to save the day in the opening action sequence and celebrates by getting – as the title suggests – Obliterated. Yet, while the rest of the team indulges mostly in booze (and some mild drugs), he goes all in anything he can find, winding up comatose for several episodes. He steals the show being carried around...

Out of all the successful shared universes to come about over the years, the "Karate Kid" franchise might be the most surprising. Also known as the Miyagi-Verse and named in honor of the martial arts maestro Mr. Miyagi, the property kicked off in 1984 with director John G. Avildsen's "The Karate Kid," a rousing sports drama cut from the same cloth as the filmmaker's Best Picture Oscar-winning "Rocky," albeit focused on martial arts rather than boxing. But besides establishing "Wax on, wax off" as a fixture of our pop cultural lexicon, the film also birthed two sequel films, a spinoff film, a reboot film, a live-action legacy sequel show, and even a short-lived, non-canonical '80s cartoon series.
For a long time, however, it was assumed the 2010 "Karate Kid" reboot and the 1984 original existed in different continuities. But no more! Just as the popular "Cobra Kai" series has seen Miyagai's...

Amid the news that Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio are returning for a brand new Karate Kid movie, let’s take a look at all the Karate Kid actors who have reprised their roles in the series Cobra Kai.

Here's a crossover you never knew you needed until now. Decades after the original "The Karate Kid" put star Ralph Macchio on the map and introduced audiences to Pat Morita's beloved Mr. Miyagi, Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith took a crack at remaking the classic in 2010 -- though in a modernized setting and, notably, not portraying the exact same characters from the original. The franchise kept the nostalgia going with Netflix's popular "Cobra Kai" series, which reunited Macchio's Daniel Larusso with William Zabka's Johnny Lawrence. Now, not even the Cobra Kai dojo feels big enough to contain what's coming down the pipeline next.
Sony Pictures breathlessly announced that a new "Karate Kid" movie is officially in the works. But get this: the twist is that both Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio have been cast and will be "reprising their characters" from the respective franchise films they previously starred in.

Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio are set to star in a new Karate Kid movie, currently penciled in for release on December 13th, 2024.
Chan and Macchio will reprise their respective characters of Mr. Han from 2010’s The Karate Kid and Daniel Larusso from the original Karate Kid trilogy and hit Netflix series Cobra Kai.
The announcement comes via a video revealing a global casting call for the next Karate Kid, a character named Li Fong. The role calls for a Chinese actor between 15 and 17 years old who speaks fluent English and is “smart, scrappy, and a skilled martial artist.”
Directed by Jonathan Entwistle (The End of the F***ing World), the movie was originally announced by Sony Pictures last year with a June 7th, 2024 release date. Details about the script, written by Rob Lieber, are being kept under wraps.

It was announced today that Pat E. Johnson, who choreographed the fight scenes for the first four Karate Kid movies, has died at the age of 84.
Pat E. Johnson was a ninth-degree black belt in American Tang Soo Do and also served as vice president of the National Tang Soo Do Congress, which was created by Chuck Norris in 1973. He learned the Korean martial art while serving as a chaplain with the U.S. Army in Korea. He later met Chuck Norris at a karate tournament in Detroit and the pair quickly bonded. “He and I struck a really good bond at the time because we had both trained in Korea, we had both gotten our black belts in Korea,” Johnson said in a 2016 documentary. “He mentioned to me one time that ‘If you should ever decide to come to California, I think we could work really well together.’ I really...

Johnson’s niece Colleen Mary Johnson Summerville confirmed the news on Facebook, writing, “It is with a sad heart I’m sharing my Uncle Pat has passed this Sunday morning.”

Cobra Kai. (L to R) William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso in episode 410 of Cobra Kai. Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix © 2021 As it turns out, Johnny Lawrence was a career-defining character for William Zabka, who’s played the role in The Karate Kid, The Karate Kid Part II, and the series Cobra Kai. Not surprisingly, there were plenty of actors who wanted the part when the casting call went out. So, how did he beat them all and win the role?

Netflix is promising a wild night thanks to the first trailer for “Obliterated,” the latest show from “Cobra Kai” creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald. All eight of the hourlong episodes will be able to stream starting November 30.
Described as a high octane Vegas adventure, “Obliterated” follows an elite special forces team that thwarts a deadly threat to Las Vegas. At least, that’s what they think. As they’re halfway through their celebratory binge, they learn the bomb they disarmed was actually a decoy. Now high and drunk, this team has to find and deactivate the real bomb or else Vegas will blow sky high. Think live-action “Archer” with a Netflix budget.
“Even though I’m half drunk and he is fully drunk and high, we’re the only people on the planet who can keep it from getting blown to hell,” Shelley Hennig as Ava Winters says in the trailer.

That includes Netflix’s Cobra Kai, which is set to return for a sixth and final season. But when will new episodes drop? Here’s what we know about the Cobra Kai Season 6 release date.

Is the series Cobra Kai about to end with its 6th and final Season, the ultimate smackdown?
Cobra Kai is coming to an end. The Karate Kid spin-off smashed its way into our hearts and showed us why we fell in love with the 1980s original in the first place; after the great fight between Cobra Kai, Eagle Fang, and Miyagi-Do, the Netflix series returns for its 6th and final season.
When Will Cobra Kai Season 6 Be Released?
Cobra Kai Season 6 release date is still a guarded secret. The production schedule, unforeseen events, & the WGA writer’s strike considerably affect when the next season will be released.

Summer movie-going is not done just yet: in the waning days of the season, there are four more studio releases before Labor Day. Universal’s R-rated animal comedy “Strays” opens this Friday, while Sony has the delayed “Gran Turismo” on August 25 and “The Equalizer 3” (Sony) on September 1. Most intriguing, though? Friday’s other big release.
DC Comics’ “Blue Beetle” (Warner Bros.) will arrive this weekend alongside “Strays,” and it appears to be the biggest question mark left on the release calendar, with the potential to rise above the others and exceed expectations in the process. But whatever it ultimately grosses, its release raises a number of interesting questions likely to be a big part of next weekend’s analysis, with the potential to have an impact on production decisions as well as current distribution decisions.

At their annual Tudum event, Netflix released a reunion video that shows much of the core Cobra Kai cast getting back together for one of their final table reads…even if they did have to wait for Jacob Bertrand.
But it’s not just fans that have to be pumped for the final season of Cobra Kai – it’s also the cast themselves.

Cobra Kai. (L to R) William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence, Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso in Cobra Kai. Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix In The Karate Kid, William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence was clearly made out to be the film’s bad guy, a rival in every way to Ralph Macchio’s Daniel Larusso. But, three decades later, when the series Cobra Kai was first pitched, the idea was to make Lawrence — although still Larusso’s rival — a much more sympathetic character. And, as the series has progressed, we’ve even seen an unlikely friendship develop between the two characters.
