Ben Wang in Karate Kid: Legends
Jonathan Wenk/Sony PicturesThe Karate Kid has been sequelized, serialized, spun off and rebooted, and now it’s back, as Karate Kid: Legends. The new film stars Ben Wang as a kid who’s mentored by Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio, reprising their roles from the franchise. But at its heart, the movie is about a kid who must train hard, learn life lessons, and kick a bully hard in the face.
