Joshua Jackson Returns to Movies for the First Time in Almost a Decade With 'Karate Kid' Role


Jackson will star alongside Ben Wang, Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio.

The latest installment of Karate Kid-- a pop culture phenomenon that's spanned almost three decades and earned more than $600 million worldwide -- will be directed by Jonathan Entwistle, with Rob Lieber penning the screenplay. Jackson joining the cast is the latest since Sony Pictures announced in November that Macchio and Chan would return to reprise their roles. Macchio also stars in Netflix's Cobra Kai, which takes place several decades after the events of the original Karate Kid trilogy.
