Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio are teaming up for a new Karate Kid film. Nearly 40 years after the first Karate Kid film made its debut, the two actors are coming together to add another movie to the iconic franchise. “We’re starring in a new Karate Kid movie together,” adds Macchio, who portrayed Daniel LaRusso in the first three Karate Kid films between 1984 and 1989, as well as the TV series continuing the storyline from the films, Cobra Kai. “You mean, ‘jacket on, jacket off,"” Chan says, referring to his lines as the karate master Mr. Han in the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid, in which he starred alongside Jaden Smith and Taraji P. Henson. “Maybe the new Karate Kid will have to do it all,” Macchio adds.
