Ming-Na Wen Joins Sony's New KARATE KID Movie

"The Mandalorian" and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." actress Ming-Na Wen has signed on to star in the upcoming "Karate Kid" movie from Sony Pictures. The film will be directed by Jonathan Entwistle ("The End of the F***ing World") from a script by Rob Lieber ("Peter Rabbit").

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but that cast also includes Ben Wang in the lead role, alongside Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio who will reprise their characters from previous installments in the franchise, which means we're getting a Karate Kid Cinematic Universe. Joshua Jackson and Sadie Stanley also star.

The film will open in theaters on December 13, 2024. Karen Rosenfelt ("The New Mutants", "Twilight") is on board to produce.

Ming-Na Wen is next set to star in "Peachville" alongside Paul Giamatti and Simon Pegg.
