Ralph Macchio talks about Karate Kid future

During a recent interaction with People magazine, Ralph Macchio explained, "Between the series and the movie with Jackie Chan, all that colliding at the same time, I just think there needs to be a reset. And then finding the perfect way to launch, because the fan base — it's never gone away. It hasn't gone away since 1984. But you want to service and be organic, and be true to the integrity of the characters. So that's always a challenge once you are in the long game."

Nothing set yet..

Further adding to the conversation, he stated that there is nothing new happening immediately as he said, "Me and the guys who write that show and other actors involved, we're all open to communicating. But something isn't coming tomorrow. I don't have that secret yet. Maybe we do a few other things. And Cobra Kai never dies. Karate Kid lives forever."For the unversed, the Karate Kid is a martial arts drama franchise created by Robert Mark Kamen.
