- The Netflix series Cobra Kai, launched in 2018, ran for six seasons and revitalized the story for new and old fans alike.
- In the film Karate Kid: Legends, Macchio teams up with Jackie Chan, linking the Karate Kid and Kung Fu universes.
- Macchio embraces the character’s cross-generational appeal and looks forward to potential future projects, including a Cobra Kai movie.
It sounds lame, but that character and the franchise brings joy to kids from six to 86. In this world, if that’s my footprint, it could be worse.— Ralph Macchio discussing the impact of his character and the franchise.
