There’s a new karate kid in town and Mr. Han is ready to let him do the work. Sony Pictures has released the official trailer for Karate Kid: Legendsand ushers in a new era in the martial arts franchise.

The film will premiere next spring and will bring back original The Karate Kid star Ralph Macchio. He played Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 original Karate kid Film. Macchio stars alongside Jackie Chan, who played Mr. Han in the 2010 remake with Jaden Smith. American-born Chinese Star Ben Wang will play student Li Fong, Daniel and Mr. Han’s newest martial arts protégé.

The film’s official logline reads: “After a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong is forced from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother. Li struggles to let go of his past while trying to fit in with his new classmates, and even though he doesn’t want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere. When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren’t enough. “Li’s kung fu teacher Mr. Han enlists the help of original karate kid Daniel LaRusso, and Li learns a new way to fight, combining their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.” The official trailer offers clues on how the characters of Macchio and Chan are connected. Daniel can be heard asking Mr. Han, “You knew Mr. Miyagi?” Han replies in the trailer, “I didn’t come here because of Sensei Miyagi. I came here because of you.”
