Hey r/movies! I'm Jonathan Entwistle – director of the upcoming Karate Kid: Legends. You might also know me as the creator of The End of the F**ing World* and I Am Not Okay with This. I am so excited to be helping expand the Karate Kid universe. Ask me anything!

I’m thrilled to say most recently, I directed Karate Kid: Legends, the latest installment in the iconic franchise, bringing together Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio on screen for the first time. We’re introducing a new hero, Li Fong (played by Ben Wang), and telling a fresh story!

Would love to talk about bringing legacy franchises back to life, directing legends, or what it’s like making movies!

Synopsis:

After moving to New York City with his mother, kung fu prodigy Li Fong struggles to let go of the past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates. When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition — but his skills alone aren't enough. With help from Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso, he soon learns to merge two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.

Ask me anything! Back at 5 PM ET tonight.
