Why 'The Karate Kid' Sequel Took So Long

This weekend marks the release of Karate Kid: Legends, which follows the massively successful series Cobra Kai but serves as a legacy sequel that unites two distinct parts of the Karate Kid franchise: the original 1984 Karate Kid and its subsequent follow-ups and the 2010 The Karate Kid, which was originally positioned as a reboot. Due to the overwhelming popularity of Cobra Kai, the legacy of the 2010 The Karate Kid film has largely gone unnoticed, with most people remembering it as a star vehicle for a young Jaden Smith.
