Is Jackie Chan Starring in ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6? Speculation abounds, but unlike Marvel, the universes rarely collide
Los Angeles, California: Fans of the ‘Cobra Kai’ series and ‘The Karate Kid’ franchise are eagerly speculating about the possible connection between the upcoming ‘Karate Kid’ movie and the beloved Netflix series. However, recent updates from the showrunners have given some disappointing news.
While the events of ‘Cobra Kai’ season 6 will set the stage for the new ‘Karate Kid’ sequel, which is expected to release in 2025 and follow Daniel LaRusso as a new student mentor, it appears that a highly anticipated crossover cameo is all It won’t happen later.
This means that fans eagerly awaiting the return of Jackie Chan as the intelligent and skilled martial arts mentor Mr. Han from the 2010 ‘Karate Kid’ remake, will have to wait longer.

Fans are eagerly anticipating a crossover between ‘Cobra Kai’ and the upcoming ‘Karate Kid’ movie, especially the return of Jackie Chan as Mr. Han from the 2010 reboot.
In the new movie, Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso will team up to train a new karate kid, played by Ben Wong. Many hoped that this crossover was meant to set up a Chan cameo film in ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6.
However, the showrunners have clarified that this will not happen. They clarified that they are not involved with the new movie, which is a separate Sony project.
Although Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso will appear in the film, the events of ‘Cobra Kai’ season 6 will not lead into it. The film exists in its own universe with its characters and story.
Although some think that the showrunners are trying to surprise the fans, the two stories are likely to remain separate. The 2010 ‘Karate Kid’ movie has always been seen as separate from the ‘Cobra Kai’ series, and despite being an upcoming crossover film, it seems similar.
Will there be another cameo in ‘Cobra Kai’ season 6?

‘Cobra Kai’ has already brought back many characters from five seasons of ‘The Karate Kid’. Along with Johnny and Daniel, we saw the return of Jon Criss, Chozen Toguchi, Mike Barnes, Terry Silver, Ali Mills, Kumiko and more.
However, there aren’t many major characters left to bring back. Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han and Hilary Swank’s Julie Pearce are among the few who have yet to appear.
With recent updates ruling out Jackie Chan’s cameo in Season 6, fans may be disappointed with the options left for the surprise appearance. The choices are now limited to minor characters like Mike Burns’ sidekick Dennis or Chozen’s friend from Japan, Toshio.
While the show’s writers can make these characters interesting, they don’t have the nostalgic impact fans desire. While the showrunners have teased exciting cameos, Jackie Chan’s absence significantly dampens excitement for a potential return.
This means ‘Cobra Kai’ fans might not get the big surprise they were hoping for in Season 6.
