Ralph Macchio has portrayed one of The Karate Kid franchise’s most iconic characters, Daniel Larusso. For four decades, Ralph Macchio has breathed life into the character. Unsurprisingly, since the martial arts franchise began in 1984, it has enjoyed a growing number of dedicated fans. Having played the character for so long, it is no surprise audiences wonder about Ralph Macchio’s age. Although visibly much older than in 1984, Macchio surprisingly still looks the same. For 6 seasons since 2018, Macchio has reprised his character in The Karate Kid sequel series. As audiences anticipate the concluding parts of Cobra Kai’s season...

Cobra Kai. Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso in Cobra Kai. Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix © 2024 While many people saw The Karate Kid as a typical sports movie, with the underdog triumphing against all odds, it did have some deeper undercurrents to it. One of the standout scenes in the original film focused on the tortured history of Daniel Larusso’s teacher and mentor, Mr. Miyagi, As it turns out, Miyagi was a war hero during World War II, but that didn’t keep his family out of the internment camps where many Japanese Americans were held during the height of the hostilities. Learning about Miyagi’s past stunned Larusso and served as a key moment in the characters’ relationship. Looking back on that first film at a Niagara Falls Comic Con Panel a few years back, star Ralph Macchio has vivid memories of filming that scene with Pat Morita, and...

Exclusive: The Disney+ and Hulu Korean spy drama Tempest has added John Cho (Star Trek), Christopher Gorham (The Lincoln Lawyer), Alicia Hannah-Kim (Cobra Kai) and Jacob Bertrand (Cobra Kai) to its cast, Deadline has learned. They join the previously announced leads Gianna Jun and Gang Dongwon.
Disney+ and Hulu tease “assassinations, political games, conspiracies and spies will collide” in 2025 when Tempest premieres in the United States. Production is currently underway in Seoul.
From writer Chung Seokyung, Tempest follows Seo Munju (Gianna Jun), a highly accomplished diplomat and former ambassador to the United States, and Sanho (Gang Dongwon), an international special agent shrouded in a veil of secrets, as they race to uncover the truth behind an attack that threatens the future stability of the Korean peninsula.
Details regarding who Cho, Gorham, Hannah-Kim and Bertrand will portray are under wraps.
Tempest is directed by Kim Heewon and co-directed by Korean martial arts director Heo Myunghaeng (The Outlaws 4). The series is produced by Imaginus, Showrunners, Studio AA and Action School.
Cho can next be seen in the upcoming sci-fi horror film Afraid opposite Katherine Waterston which opens on August 30. He is best known for his portrayal of Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek (2009) and its two sequels Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) and Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Harold Lee in the Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg hit comedy Harold & Kumar franchise led by Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004). His recent credits include HBO’s The Sympathizer, The Afterparty for Apple TV+, Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop and Fox’s The Exorcist for TV. His film credits include Don’t Make Me Go (2022), The Grudge (2019) and The Graduates, which he also executive produced.
The Tempest reunites Cho and Gorham, who starred in the ABC series Ugly Betty.
Gorham most recently starred in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer. Before that, he had series regular roles in Netflix’s Insatiable, USA’s Covert Affairs and The WB’s Popular. He is best known for his portrayal of Henry Grubstick in Ugly Betty opposite America Ferrera.
Hannah-Kim most recently starred as Sensei Kim Da-eun in seasons 5 and 6 of Cobra Kai, a continuation of The Karate Kid story starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. Hannah-Kim co-starred in the drama series alongside Bertrand. Cobra Kai was No. 1 on TV globally in its debut week on Netflix with nearly 15M views. Since then, its viewership doubled its viewership for Season 6A. Before that, she recurred in Max’s Minx.
Bertrand is currently starring in Netflix’s Cobra Kai as Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, a role he’s portrayed across the show’s six seasons. His prior credits include lead roles in Max’s Batwheels, Disney Channel’s The Swap and for Nickelodeon, Jinxed and Marvin Marvin.

In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in warnings against “toxic nostalgia.” Fondly recalling times past is fine until that recollection turns into a yearning that keeps us from moving forward in the present day, making choices that will bring us happiness now. Not to mention, in most cases, memories of yesteryear have been edited for maximum rosiness, and bear no resemblance to our actual personal histories.
That said, if you’re like Cobra Kai’s Johnny and the era you want to go back to is the 1980s, that’s perfectly normal and, in fact, healthy.

The first part of the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai debuted just a few weeks ago, putting the grand finale in motion. However, even when the series does come to a close, Cobra Kai creators Hayden Schlossberg, Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz have been entertaining the idea of more spinoffs, including a prequel series centered on Mr. Miyagi.
“I would say that we definitely want to do [a Mr. Miyagi series] and have been talking about that,” Schlossberg told THR. “But the focus has been on Cobra Kai. As we’re finishing that up, we’ll see exactly what path we take in terms of spinoffs, but it is definitely something that we’ve been wanting to do. It’s just that we want to wait until we get finished with Cobra Kai first before we get into that.” While it doesn’t sound like a Miyagi prequel is officially in the cards at the moment,...

It’s been two weeks now since fans of Netflix’s super popular series Cobra Kai have been able to watch the first part of the three-part final season (the first five episodes of season six have been viewed worldwide 24.3 million times since the July 18 release, per the streamer).
And in the five episode-premiere, it initially appeared there would be peace in The Valley of Los Angeles between Danny Larusso (Ralph Macchio), Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and the various kids of their respective karate schools. But as events and rivalries typically go in this world of high school angst with black belts, peace received a flying kick out of the dojo.
But that simply meant more thrills to come, according to Cobra Kai’s creators Hayden Schlossberg, Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz. The Hollywood Reporter recently caught up with the trio to talk about the upcoming Part 2 (dropping Nov. 15) and...

Marvel Studios hyped up Thunderbolts* at this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con, but the decision not to release the trailer online has seen the movie largely overshadowed by the other upcoming MCU releases showcased in Hall H.
The cast came out on stage alongside David Harbour suited up as Red Guardian, though the name of Geraldine Viswanathan's mysterious character was never revealed. However, thanks to an official video shared by Marvel Studios, we now know she's called "Mel."
It should go without saying that, after putting the pieces together, the only logical explanation is that the actress is playing Melissa Gold, a.k.a. Songbird.
Whether she'll have the same supersonic sound abilities as her comic book counterpart remains to be seen.
Songbird, originally known as Screaming Mimi, debuted in the pages of Marvel Two-in-One #54 in 1979. She was created by Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, and John Byrne, later...

When we first learned of plans for Captain America: Brave New World to feature The Boys star Giancarlo Esposito, speculation immediately started running rampant about who the actor might be playing.
Reportedly added during reshoots, we first caught sight of Esposito on the movie's set; those photos provided few clues and even the teaser trailer failed to clear anything up. Rumours he'd been cast as Bushmaster or G.W. Bridge soon started swirling but those were proven false at Comic-Con.
We now know that The Mandalorian and Breaking Bad icon is playing Sidewinder, a relatively obscure Captain America villain who will seemingly target Sam Wilson. In this feature, we've rounded up everything we know about this version of the character along with an in-depth look at his comic book history.

For those who grew up watching The Karate Kid, seeing Ralph Macchio return as Daniel Larusso in Cobra Kai has been nothing short of nostalgic. Ralph Macchio, who first brought the character to life in 1984, has masterfully transitioned from the big screen to streaming platforms. Reflecting on this journey, Macchio shared, I always believed if you brought them to the well, they would drink the water.

Shocking news out of San Diego Comic-Con and Marvel’s big Hall H panel Saturday night: Captain America: Brave New World looks to be taking on the best Cap comic book run of all time! That’s right, baby, the supervillains have unionized.
Giancarlo Esposito, the consummate badass that everyone assumed would be playing someone befitting his menace, like Gw Bridge, William Stryker, or even Magneto, turns out to be playing none of those characters. Instead he’s playing a mild-mannered economics professor and notorious Marvel Universe labor leader from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Probably. Maybe? Let’s unpack the surprisingly complicated backstory of Sidewinder, aka the King of the Serpent Society!
Who Is Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder?
Marvel Studios’ panel confirmed that Esposito would be playing Sidewinder, King of the Serpent Society. However, it’s unlikely they’re doing a direct lift from the comics, because it would be a deeply bizarre pull to puzzle together.

Cobra Kai. (L to R) Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso, William Zabka as Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai. Cr. Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix © 2024 After being introduced to movie audiences as part of the ensemble cast of The Outsiders, Ralph Macchio got his first starring role in 1984’s The Karate Kid. It’s a role, of course, that has defined his life. The success of the film and its sequels made Macchio a bona fide Hollywood star, though he would later complain that the role of Daniel Larusso had made it difficult for him to get other roles as he grew older. Eventually, though, he softened his stance to the point that he welcomed a return to the role in Cobra Kai, the sequel series now in ts sixth (and final) season. We’ve spoken to Macchio many times over the years, and he told us that, despite the ups and...

The View recently featured Ralph Macchio discussing the last season of his hit show, Cobra Kai.
Ralph came on the show trying to explain that “it was time to land the plane” in the Karate Kid universe, and fans are remarking on something Sunny Hostin did after the interview.
During the interview with Ralph, Sunny gushed and said it was hard to “quit you” with another ending in the franchise looming. It seems everyone loves The Karate Kid characters.
The View’s Instagram page shared a video of an after-the-show interaction with Sunny, in which fans shared their negative feelings about the long-time host.

Don Buchwald, the colorful talent agent who spent the past four decades in the entertainment business representing Howard Stern and many others, has died. He was 88.
Buchwald died Monday of natural causes at his home back east in the Berkshires, his agency announced.
The Brooklyn native launched Don Buchwald & Associates in 1977 with an original team of five agents, and he would open an additional office in Los Angeles in 1992. The bicoastal firm, which now goes by Buchwald, employs 130 employees who work across many platforms of entertainment and media.
Buchwald served as Stern’s agent, manager and publicist since the early 1980s. He got his most famous client a landmark deal with Sirius Xm satellite radio in 2015 that was estimated to be worth about $90 million a year. Stern nicknamed him “Superagent.”
When they first met, “We sat down in his office and we talked for an hour,” Stern told The New York Times in a 2018 interview.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 1] It all started in 1984 with a kid who wanted to learn karate. Fast-forward to 2024, and it’s now a worldwide phenomenon. The original Karate Kid is about a young boy named Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) who was taught karate by martial arts master Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) to fight off bullies from the brutal Cobra Kai dojo. Since then, there have been movies and remakes, an animated series, and its most notable spinoff, the Netflix television series Cobra Kai. For 40 years now, the legacy of The Karate Kid franchise has been kept alive by its legions of die-hard fans and that momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon with an upcoming 2025 film in the works. Since its 2018 premiere, Cobra Kai has continued the stories of karate rivals Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) while capturing the magic that made the original films so special.

After its successful run of five seasons spread across the course of over six years, Cobra Kai has once again returned to the screens to deliver one last action-packed season that will conclude the series once and for all. But while the grief of the saga ending is one thing, fans are more heartbroken over a fact regarding what could have been the perfect end to the lore.

As it turns out, fans had the most satisfying end to the smash-hit saga all set in their minds way before the series even neared its end. However, this dream was shattered forever after Netflix continued and “wasted away” what was originally started by YouTube Red. If anything, fans believe that the end they had envisioned just might forever remain a dream at this stage.

The first part of Cobra Kai Season 6 recently dropped on Netflix with some pretty interesting storylines unveiled in the new season. When looking back at the previous seasons, fans will definitely miss one character who was written out of the show for the most bizarre reason. Nichole Brown’s Aisha Robinson was Johnny Lawrence’s second student of the new generation of Cobra Kai in the first season.

Aisha is often bullied for her looks and her weight at West Valley High and when she finds Johnny’s Cobra Kai Dojo, she decides to join. She gets back at her bullies during a particularly badass moment in Season 1. Daniel Larusso even finds her to be a positive influence on his daughter Sam.

Cobra Kai’s Queen Cobra is portrayed to perfection by actress Peyton List. The former Disney Channel star joined the Netflix show in its second season and quickly became a fan favorite. Her character, Tory Nichols, has had a great character arc in the show.
However, the beloved role would have almost gone to someone else as List was initially unsure about the role. The actress mentioned that she did not relate to Nichols when she was offered the part and did not prepare much but was selected after she nailed her audition.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 6, Part 1 of “Cobra Kai,” now streaming on Netflix.
While Kim Da-Eun — Alicia Hannah-Kim’s character in “Cobra Kai”— was one of the main antagonists last season (and seemed to be done for good), you shouldn’t have counted her out. Kim is back, and teaming up with Kreese (Martin Kove) to take their new generation of Cobra Kai fighters to the next level in the worldwide karate championship, the Sekai Taikai.
The pairing are going up against all of Miyagi-Do, lead by Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio). “Cobra Kai” originated in 2018 as a scripted original on YouTube, and detailed the story of what happened decades after the 1984 “The Karate Kid” film.
In the 40 years that the franchise has been around, Hannah-Kim is the first ever female sensei in the “Karate Kid” universe, something that she says she’s “hyper aware of.

Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan join forces for a new The Karate Kid movie under Sony’s banner. The production of the film began in April 2024 and Macchio has some great things to say about his co-star Chan. Macchio shared that working with the legendary actor was a great opportunity and added that Chan worked on the film every day like it was his first day.

Jonathan Entwistle of I’m Not Okay with This and The End of the F***ing World fame will helm the film in his feature directorial debut. The film is penned by Rob Lieber.

This article contains spoilers for Cobra Kai season 6 part 1.
Audiences have met several young characters on Cobra Kai who embody the spirit and fury of the “O.G.” Karate kids. The main dynamic between classic frenemies Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) has shaped the next generation. It’s easy to see how Daniel’s actual children Samantha (Mary Mouser) and Anthony (Griffin Santopietro) are a chip off the old moral block (for the most part) but Daniel also has several protégés he can choose from who have proven to have the heart of gold he had as a teen.
Parental figures can often be guilty of teaching their kids or students their worst habits, and Johnny Lawrence, especially in early seasons, wasn’t exactly the greatest role model. Granted Johnny has had a roller coaster of morality during the show’s run, as have many of his students.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers about Season 6 Part 1 of “Cobra Kai,” now streaming on Netflix.
“Cobra Kai” never dies…until it does. Part 1 of the sixth and final season of “Cobra Kai” — the Netflix hit set in the “Karate Kid” universe — has dropped, at long last. And this time, the drama revolves around the ultimate championship for the show’s characters, at the international karate tournament, Sekai Taikai.
The catch is that only six of the Miyagi-Do fighters can make it to the world competition in Barcelona. Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), Tory (Payton List), Samantha (Mary Mouser), Robby (Tanner Buchanan), Hawk (Jacob Bertrand), Devon (Oona O’Brien) and the rest of the karate crew will have to battle it out.
Meanwhile, Kreese (Martin Kove) and Kim Da-Eun (Alicia Hannah-Kim) are also set to head to the Sekai Taikai, with their own vicious fighters from their Japanese team, the Kreese’s new generation of Cobra Kai competitors.

Cobra Kai may be coming to an end, but we haven’t seen the last of Daniel Larusso. Ralph Macchio has returned for a new Karate Kid movie, which also stars Jackie Chan, and the actor spoke with THR about getting to work with the martial arts legend.
“Jackie Chan is a legend, just to have that opportunity was exciting. He was wonderful,” Macchio said. “Lot of heart, lot of soul and caring, I will say that about Jackie. He loves being on set and it was like his first day every day. I love seeing that at his age and time of his career because I like to try to bring that as well, but a great young cast on that one, and we’ll see where it goes.” Seeing those two on screen together will be something special.

Although nothing has been said to confirm yet, the news came from Macchio who hinted that someone could be making a cameo in the upcoming episodes of the series. While he didn’t list names, his response was enough to let know that fans might get to see some other characters from the original film series who couldn’t appear. Like Hilary Swank’s Julie Pierce.
