Karate Kid: Legendswas initially scheduled to be released on June 7, 2024.
However, due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, its release was delayed to December 13, 2024.
Some might argue that it should have had Johnny Lawrence as one of its leads instead of Daniel LaRusso.
This would justify his absence from the newKarate Kidmovie.
