Sony Pictures has recently announced a significant shift in their film release schedule, with the highly anticipated movies “Karate Kid” and “Kraven the Hunter” undergoing rescheduling to 2025. Originally set for 2024, these films will now hit theaters in May and December 2025, respectively.

Alongside Wang, original cast members Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio will reprise their iconic roles, adding depth and continuity to the narrative. The film promises to incorporate elements from past installments, creating a rich universe for the new generation of fans to explore.

With a stellar cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, and Fred Heichinger, this film is set to captivate audiences with its intense storyline and dynamic characters.
As these rescheduled releases draw closer, fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating the new adventures and surprises that await them on the big screen.
