THE KARATE KID 2 (2026)
Starring: Jaden Smith · Jackie Chan · Donnie Yen
Quote: “A real fight isn’t won with fists… it’s won before you ever raise them.”

Plot: Years after his time in Beijing, an older Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) returns to China as a frustrated almost‑champion, chasing fame more than focus. Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), older and carrying new regrets, fears he’s created a fighter, not a student.

When an international tournament run by a ruthless master (Donnie Yen) turns into a spectacle of humiliation and brutal knockouts, Dre is tempted by shortcuts and showboating.

Training moves from rooftops and subway tunnels to quiet temples at dawn, as Dre must relearn balance, respect and the meaning of “karate” in a world that only cheers for knockouts.

Review: Emotional, funny and packed with beautifully choreographed fights, THE KARATE KID 2 honors the original while giving a fresh, mature punch to the coming‑of‑age journey
