He\u2019s exactly what I saw in my mind. I think he\u2019s the Marty McFly of our generation. He\u2019s so talented\u2014he performed most of his own stunts\u2014and I think he\u2019s got an amazing career ahead of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the new trailer: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BtACuGrq2uA\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/BtACuGrq2uA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Wang plays Li Fong, a young kung-fu fighter who moves from Beijing all the way to New York City. He\u2019s faced with new challenges trying to adjust to the new environment, and attracts trouble from the local martial arts group. With the help of his master, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), they seek out original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) to hone his fighting skills and prepare for an epic martial arts showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wang was no stranger to the hit martial arts franchise, having been introduced to the 2010 <em>The Karate Kid<\/em> film starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. . \u201cIt takes place in Beijing, and I had just moved back to the U.S. from Beijing when it came out,\u201d says Wang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing parallels from his and Li Fong\u2019s shared backstory also helped in fully embracing his character. \u201cIt gets me emotional, this idea of going somewhere completely new and having to start over and finding people who help you along the way. And that&#8217;s what these movies are really about, you know? Behind the kung fu and the karate and all that cool stuff, it&#8217;s about finding your way, learning to fit in, and finding good teachers,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wang also has the seal of approval from Ralph Macchio, who\u2019s enjoyed working with the new Karate Kid.&nbsp; \u201cHis work ethic, his preparedness, his not taking anything for granted\u2014he will be this generation&#8217;s Karate Kid!\u201d Macchio says. \u201cYes, I carry that, that\u2019s not going away for me, ever. And I am extremely proud and privileged to have it. He&#8217;s in almost every frame of the movie, like I was.\u201d Then he adds, with a laugh, \u201cI didn&#8217;t have to speak another language, though, like he does. So he&#8217;s already ahead of me right there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the rise of the new Karate Kid in <em>Karate Kid: Legends, <\/em>arriving in Philippine cinemas on May 28. <em>Karate Kid: Legends <\/em>is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
