It\u2019s not hard to imagine the likable Ralph Macchio<\/strong><\/a> rebooting his entire career on Netflix<\/a> after enjoying a vibrant stint as a movie dreamboat in the 80s. The Outsiders<\/em> star, now 63, successfully revived his beloved Karate Kid<\/em> character, Daniel LaRusso in Cobra Kai<\/em> <\/a>on the streaming platform \u2014 a stint that has stretched into six seasons, the third part of which will drop on February 13, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cCobra Kai<\/em> is interesting,\u201d the Outsiders<\/em> actor said in a December 2022 interview with Inverse<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIf you asked me 10 years ago would I ever be in a show called Cobra Kai,<\/em> I would say, \u2018No way in hell. That\u2019s never going to happen.\u2019 The Cobra Kai are the bad guys, and it\u2019s kind of funny that Cobra Kai has become its own brand. Even before the series, a lot of people knew Cobra Kai just based on the influence of The Karate Kid<\/em>. So it\u2019s another perfect title for totally different reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
