“Whoever made this trailer deserves a raise”: Karate Kid: Legends Trailer is Perfect Despite Missing a Key Cobra Kai Star

The Karate Kid franchise has kept the audience hooked to the edge of their seats for several years now, with the last movie, The Karate Kid, being released in 2010. Now this universe is being further expanded with the upcoming Karate Kid: Legends bringing in several notable faces. The teaser for the same was also released recently and while fans loved the cinematic vision, they also pointed out that a key actor was notably missing from the trailer.

The actor is none other than William Zabka, who played Johnny Lawrence in the first Karate Kid movie released in 1984, and reprised the role in The Karate Kid Part II (1986). While he made a captivating return as his Karate kid character in the Netflix series Cobra Kai, him being missing in the Legends trailer has raised many eyebrows.
