Struggling with a past tragedy, Li clashes with his doctor mother, who is also dealing with the same tragedy but with a different approach. Despite his mother’s aversion to violence and Kung Fu, Li discovers meaning in training Victor in this martial art, leading him to return to the ring as well.”
Produced by Karen Rosenfelt, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith, with production companies including Columbia Pictures, Sunswept Entertainment, and Westbrook Studios.
The new ‘Karate Kid’ movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 30, 2 025, by Sony Pictures.
