Summary
The much-anticipated new Karate Kid movie has been delayed, missing the original date that aligned with the franchise's 40th anniversary.
The release of the movie has been postponed because of the ongoing strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. The Karate Kid franchise has been growing with the Cobra Kai television show, but there hasn't been a new movie since the 2010 reboot featuring Jaden Smith. The upcoming 2024 movie was meant to mark the franchise's return to theaters, but unfortunately, it has been affected by the strikes from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
The untitled new Karate Kid movie, as per Sony, has been rescheduled for release on December 13, 2024. Initially, it was planned to launch on June 7, 2024, coinciding with the 40-year anniversary of the original Karate Kid movie.
