Karate Kid is an upcoming American martial arts film directed by Jonathan Entwistle and written by Rob Lieber. It is the sixth film in The Karate Kid franchise and stars Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio, both reprising their roles from previous films, with Ben Wang as the main lead alongside Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, Ming-Na Wen, Aramis Knight and Wyatt Oleff.

Following the release of the fourth film, The Next Karate Kid (1994), the only film released in the franchise was a remake of the original film in 2010 starring Chan as Mr. Han. The television series Cobra Kai (2018–present) served as a direct sequel to the original four films, with Macchio returning as Daniel LaRusso from the first three films. In September 2022, a new feature film was confirmed to be in development, with the casting of Chan and Macchio announced in November 2023. Filming began in April 2024.

The film is scheduled to be released on December 13, 2024 in the United States.
